For those seeking in every way to stand out, this is the right Champagne to choose. Without a doubt. Ice Impérial, in fact, is the first Champagne created specifically to be served with ice, that is, "on the rocks." A small heresy for the most staunch upholders of tradition. But also a new experience that encompasses fun, freshness and freedom for Moët & Chandon's indefatigable anti-conformists who, from the height of its long history, can afford to let their imaginations run wild. From a blend that includes mostly Pinot Noir, vinous and edgy, and characterized by an intensely fruity flavor, with Meunier, full and fleshy, and Chardonnay, used in a proportion of between 10 and 20 percent for its refreshing touch. The dosage in this case is definitely important, touching 45 grams of sugar per liter, resulting in a deliciously smooth and drinkable wine, especially suitable for consumption away from the table. After all, this is Champagne born for the party.

In the famous fairy tale, the beautiful Cinderella struggles to get herself noticed by her noble Prince. In the same way, the "young" Orcia DOC appellationis called upon to perform a very arduous task in order to gain visibility, squeezed as it is between its two big sisters, the DOCGs of Brunello and Nobile. And yet, in its brief history, which began on Valentine's Day in 2000, Orcia DOC has already had the opportunity to obtain - or rather to give - great satisfaction. On the label of this Cenerentola, there is a faceless woman descending a staircase, at night, in the Tuscan hills. She represents any woman who accepts challenges and above all wants to love. Produced by Donatella Cinelli Colombini at Fattoria del Colle, in the high hills of southern Tuscany, this wine is the child of two indigenous grape varieties: Sangiovese, the undisputed king of Tuscany, and Foglia Tonda, a grape variety abandoned for over a century. A very rare grape variety, in total there are less than twenty hectares of this variety, it produces powerful wines and for this reason it is the ideal companion for Sangiovese. Together they create a unique wine, different from all the others but with absolutely Tuscan characteristics.

It is certainly no coincidence that the Primitivo grape variety is the most widely cultivated in Apulia. Native to the 'heel of our boot', this vine is capable of expressing itself in a thousand different ways, adapting from time to time to different climates, soils and exposures. In the Manduria area, then, Primitivo finds its ideal habitat, giving life to wines of rare pleasantness and complexity. Like this Elegia, Primitivo di Manduria DOC Riserva, produced by Produttori di Manduria. It comes from grapes harvested in vineyards between 35 and 50 years old, some of which are still cultivated using the traditional alberello system which, as experts know, allows low yields but very high quality. Harvested during the second half of September, the grapes are vinified in red, with a maceration period lasting about two weeks. After racking, the wine then matures for about a year in French oak barriques. Intense ruby red in colour, the nose is pleasantly elegant, with a distinct fruit component reminiscent of wild blackberries, prunes, raspberry jam and blueberries. Nutmeg, vanilla and cloves anticipate memories of aromatic herbs and leather. Hints of toasted almonds and wilted violet petals flank the typical hints of undergrowth. In the mouth it is characterised by a nice bright acidity, with dry tannins and a pleasant persistence. Excellent with strong-flavoured dishes, such as wild boar, but also roasts and braised meats.

We are used to thinking of Cabernet Sauvignon as a grape variety grown in our latitudes, rustic just enough, capable of expressing itself in wines of the highest level. Bodega La Rural, in this case, takes Cabernet Sauvignon plants all the way to the foothills of the Andes, south of the city of Mendoza. Here the special microclimate allows for the harvest of grapes of exceptional quality, capable of producing typical wines with an unmistakable stylistic signature. Bodega la Rural offers this San Felipe Roble Cabernet Sauvignon, the child of careful vinification of the best grapes that arrived at the winery after the harvest. Temperature-controlled fermentation and as many as 18 days of maceration allow color and fragrance to be extracted, which is then refined through slow maturation in American oak barrels. This delicate phase lasts for about nine months, resulting in a wine characterized by a beautiful deep red color, with clear notes of red and dark fruits and sweet spices. In the mouth, then, it reveals itself in all its power. Good structure, pleasant tannin, this red enjoys a long persistence that prolongs the pleasure of each sip for several seconds. It is the red to propose to our guests when the evening promises to be pleasant. From aperitifs with cured meats and cheeses to savory first courses to meaty main courses, there are many opportunities to appreciate this interesting Argentine red.

Etna is the new Eden of Sicilian wine. The great volcano that dominates the eastern side of the island not only offers an unparalleled wealth of soils, but also provides unique climatic conditions. Climbing its slopes, the stifling heat of Sicily gives way to a decidedly milder climate. The summit of the volcano is often even covered with snow and the grapes grown here enjoy an ideal temperature range between day and night which prolongs the ripening period, ensuring the development of aromas and flavours. The family of Count Tasca also owns some vineyards on the volcano. Here excellent wines are produced from vines native to Etna. Like this Ghiaia Nera that expresses all the impetuosity of the estate's youngest vineyards, cultivated with Nerello Mascalese grapes. The result is a dry and elegant red, characterized by a light ruby colour and an absolutely incredible bouquet, dominated by crunchy and tasty red fruits, sweet spices and an interesting mineral note that immediately brings to mind the tongues of lava that slowly descend the slopes of the volcano. On the palate it is fresh and juicy. Rich but not opulent. Balanced and pleasant from the first sip.

Symbolic wine of the Burgundy region, Pinot Noir is one of the most beloved grape varieties in the world. Thanks to its versatility, which allows it to be processed in virtually any way, but also (and perhaps most importantly) because of its great longevity. Precisely this ability to evolve well over the years has meant that the Pinot Noir of Burgundy has often become a cult object among enthusiasts and collectors. The Burgundy proposed by Domaine Faiveley represents a good reference point for the typology. After vinification, it matures for a period of about a year in oak barrels before being bottled and left to rest in the cellar for a few more months before it goes on the market. In the glass it has a beautiful deep ruby red colour. On the nose, fruity notes reminiscent of wild berries, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. In the mouth it is soft, fine and intense. A nice, scholastic wine for those who want to start learning about this incredible grape variety.

Guado al Tasso is the marvellous Bolgheri estate of Marchesi Antinori. Here, Sangiovese gives way, for once, to the great international grape varieties, originally from the Bordeaux area, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The particular climatic and soil conditions of the Tuscan coast, in fact, have proved to be particularly suitable for the production of wines produced in a "French" style and matured in small oak barrels. Guado al Tasso is the result of a careful selection, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar, of the grapes harvested at two different times. All this is to ensure that only perfectly ripe grapes reach the fermentation tanks. Each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and, after racking, the wine is transferred directly into barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place. Only in February of the year following the harvest are the best batches selected and blended into the final blend. At that point, the wine is transferred back into new French oak barriques where it continues to age until bottling. Guado al Tasso 2018 presents itself in the glass with a beautiful intense ruby red colour. The nose reveals attractive notes of sweet spices and small ripe dark fruits, liquorice root, leather and tobacco. In the mouth the quality of the tannins is very graceful: silky on the entry and vibrant on the finish. A wine characterised by great balance, pleasantness and harmony. Perfect with main courses of meat, it is a wine that is especially appreciated if the steak is cooked slowly on the grill.

Champagne never ceases to amaze us, thanks to the quality of its grapes and the ability of local producers, whether large or small, to always interpret them in the best possible way, giving rise to wines of great personality and charisma. This is also the case with this Champagne Brut Rosé, proposed by Brimoncourt. 40% Pinot Noir, of which around 18% is vinified in red to give structure and colour, 35% Chardonnay, which lends elegance and finesse to the cuvée, and 25% Pinot Meunier, which gives the blend an unmistakable fruity profile. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats and the base wines, after blending and bottling, rest in contact with their yeasts for at least 4 years, before disgorging and dosage (8 grams/litre). In the glass it has a beautiful salmon and rose gold colour, with a delicate pomegranate hue. The effervescence is bright and fine and introduces an aroma of strawberries and blackcurrants, with subtle hints of paprika. In the mouth, it is juicy and fresh, with hints of sweet spices and a cherry confit finish. Good today, this rosé has the capacity to mature for a few years in the cellar. It should be served with savoury dishes such as roast pigeon or medium-aged cheeses. Thanks to its moderate sweetness, this rosé from Champagne also lends itself to accompanying desserts that are not excessively sweet.

The grapes used to make this Barolo DOCG come from a single vineyard called Sottocastello di Novello. Obviously it is a pure Nebbiolo, according to the regulations, which ripens late, even in the second ten days of October. After all, that's the way Nebbiolo is, it likes to be waited for and keeps the producers in suspense for a long time, looking up to the sky and hoping that the good weather will hold out just long enough not to ruin the entire production. After pressing the grapes, fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks, this Barolo DOCG evolves for at least 18 months in barriques, followed by a few months of refinement in the bottle in the underground cellars. A bold and compact ruby red, with garnet reflections that tend towards orange over time, the bouquet is intense and broad. There are fruity notes of jam, dried plums and cherries in alcohol alongside spicy sensations of cinnamon, vanilla and tar. In the mouth it is rich in structure, with a long aromatic persistence. Its tannin envelops the mouth and makes it the right wine to serve when main courses of red meat, such as braised meats and medium to mature cheeses, come to the table.

Some associate this grape variety with the Sardinian coast. Those, on the other hand, who inevitably associate the word Vermentino with the Ligurian coast (and its cheese focaccia). Those who, finally, when they read Vermentino immediately think of the Tuscan coast, its pine forests that reach all the way to the beach and the warmth of its long Mediterranean summers. These are among the correct interpretations, whose common denominator is undoubtedly its proximity to the sea. Vermentino, here in an interpretation by Conti Guicciardini, Maremma Toscana IGT, is in fact a grape variety typical of the entire Mediterranean area, and in Maremma, as in Liguria and Sardinia, it finds its ideal habitat. The sea breeze that caresses the Mandorlaia vineyards in fact enhances its characteristics. Careful vinification, involving cryomaceration and fermentation at a controlled temperature, contributes to enhancing the rich aromatic heritage of the original grapes. Pale straw yellow in colour with golden highlights, the nose reveals intense and persistent aromas of flowers and wild fruits. On the palate it is characterised by its pleasant, lively and fresh acidity, harmonious flavour and intriguing finish of exotic fruits. Ideal for aperitifs and fish dishes.

Those who criticize Prosecco often do so because they don't drink it in the right way. Prosecco is traditionally produced in the Extra Dry version which, despite the name, is not dry but slightly sweetish. It's why it is good. What makes it perfect as an aperitif and, at the limit, also allows it to accompany an unconventional end to a meal. But bringing it to the table definitely requires more. You need a drier wine with little, if any, residual sugar. And Serena Wines, in this case, offers us exactly that. A Prosecco DOC, produced with Glera grapes coming from different areas of the denomination, vinified in autoclave and finished with little, very little sugar. On the label, in fact, there is the clear indication Brut. So green light for a food pairing. A nice idea, for example, could be to use it to blend in a nice seafood risotto. Or to serve it very fresh next to a fried fish. Delicious dish and pleasant wine. What more could you ask for from a love wedding like this ‘

Without wanting to be patriots at all costs, why do you have to go all the way to France to find a pleasant and well-made Pinot Noir-based bubbly ‘ Sometimes, in order not to be disappointed, one only has to 'fly' 'across the Po', to the province of Pavia, where Pinot Noir seems to be more than at home. And where a 'good' bottle does not cost an arm and a leg. Just like this Oltrenero Brut Nature, 100% Pinot Noir, 48 months on the lees. Dry, very dry. But super pleasant. Pale straw yellow in colour, with slight golden reflections. As soon as it is poured, in the glass it is covered with a lovely soft mousse, nourished by a perlage of extraordinary finesse. The nose is broad and complex, with clear hints of bread crust and perceptions both mineral and floral, of rose and acacia. The fruity notes, on the other hand, are typical of the black grape variety from which it originates, namely small red fruits, including currant and raspberry with a pleasant hint of citrus and a slight sweet hint of pastry. In the mouth it is sumptuous with a lively savouriness and pleasantly citrus freshness. The slightly almondy and toasty finish completes the picture. It accompanies the whole meal well, from aperitifs to main dishes. Try it with risottos, seafood and sushi. For lovers of "extreme" pairings this Brut Nature is also capable of accompanying meat dishes.

Filodivino's Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is called Diana and its name has a story to tell. The story of a dog, named Diana, who wagged her tail under the tables of an office a long way from the Marche region, but close to the heart of the Filodivino project, which in those very days was becoming a reality. And it is in honour of the lively vitality of that little dog that the guys at Filodivino chose that name for their personal Lacrima di Morro d'Alba. A red wine that immediately differs from its peers for its distinct minerality deriving from the calcareous soil where the grapes grow, and for the intense flavour that the nearby Adriatic Sea lends it. A wine of intense red colour, with intense and diffused violet nuances in its chromatic texture. Both the nose and palate are a succession of enveloping sensations of currants, blackberries, blueberries and wild strawberries. Excellent with the brodetti of its region, the Marche, and with salami meats and cheese. This Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Filodivino is an enchantment to be experienced. Not to be missed.

Quater Vitis Terre Siciliane IGT Rosso is not a simple wine. It's a one-way ticket to a trip to the heart of the largest island in the Mediterranean. An unusual blend of Nero d'Avola, Perricone and Frappato grown on the Pianoro Cuddìa estate, in the Trapani area, with Nerello Cappuccio from the Cavanera Estate on Etna. Four different harvests, in order to bring out all the goodness of each variety, and four separate vinifications. Each wine is then aged in American and French oak barrels for a maximum period of 10 months. Also in this case the choice of different woods is not based on the winemaker's pure whim but a precise choice, since each wood brings a different woody note to the final wine. Compact ruby colour with lively violet hues, the nose reveals notes of red and black fruit with spices and chocolate. In the mouth it is defined juicy and soft. A nice natural tannicity is kept under constant control by a pleasant acidic component.

Coro, Marche Rosso IGT Bio by Filodivino is an example of how three great international grape varieties can join forces to tell the story of a territory in a unique and surprising way. Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Merlot combine here to give life to a structured, elegant wine with great ageing potential. A wine capable of reinterpreting the Marche region in a modern key. But let us proceed with order. The vineyard is located in San Marcello, in the heart of the Marche region. Situated 220-240 metres above sea level, the area enjoys a mild climate, influenced by the Adriatic breezes. Ideal conditions for growing high quality grapes. The varieties used are Syrah (50%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Merlot (20%). The grapes are harvested manually in small crates to preserve their integrity. Once in the cellar, they ferment separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine then matures for 18 months in 500-litre French oak tonneaux with different toastings, acquiring complexity and harmony. Finally, it rests for a further 6 months in the bottle before being marketed. In the glass, Coro is an intense red colour with brick red highlights. On the nose, notes of blackberry, plum and a delicate spiciness stand out, well integrated with the typical hints of wood. In the mouth it reveals a nice body, with elegant and complex tannins accompanying a long, clean finish. Thanks to its structure and ageing in wood, Coro can evolve for 10 years or more.

Although the DOC was only created in 2010, the history of Ripasso goes back a long way. The oenological technique used involves the "ripasso" of Valpolicella wine on the fermented marc of the dried grapes used for the production of Amarone and Recioto. Originally, this involved a quick passage of the vintage Valpolicella over the marc. Today, however, there is a tendency to prolong this contact more, causing a second slow fermentation and obtaining a wine that is decidedly richer than the original one. Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore di Santa Sofia is made from grapes harvested in the hillside vineyards located in the municipalities of Marano di Valpolicella, Fumane and San Pietro in Cariano. As is typical for the company, it starts with a cut of Corvina and Corvinone in clear majority, to which is added a share of Rondinella of about 30%. After 9 months of maturation in large 50-hectolitre casks and at least 6 months in the bottle, a wine of a beautiful, clear and very bright ruby colour is revealed, with a ruby-garnet rim that holds up well. On the nose, there are definite hints of black cherries in alcohol, prunes, underbrush, cloves, fine oak, cinnamon and liquorice root. A broad, enveloping and aristocratic olfactory profile. In the mouth, on the other hand, it displays fine concentration, a silky, velvety tannic texture and a very dynamic acidity. All, however, perfectly balanced by an important alcoholic warmth. Long and clean, its finish makes it perfect for various pairings. Above all, pasta with meat sauces, semi-mature cheeses and cured meats.

On the label of this wine, which is very elegant by the way, we can read: Vallée d'Aoste Torrette Superieur élevé en fût de chêneen, that is, aged in oak barrels. It is not difficult to imagine, therefore, what kind of wine it is. It is made from a blend of three different grape varieties. Petit Rouge for 70%, then Fumin for 25% and Cornalin for the remaining 5%. Three vines that do well in the Aosta Valley because they are not afraid of its cool climate but require excellent exposure to absorb all they can from the sun that shines during the day. The grapes used for the production of this Torrette Sup. come from four different parcels located in the communes of Saint Pierre, Villeneuve, Sarre and Charvensode. We are well over 700 metres above sea level and in some cases the vineyards even touch 900 meters. To the limits of Italian viticulture. Matured in exhausted barriques for 12 months, this red wine appears in the glass in a beautiful, dense ruby colour, with still purple hues that reveal its young character. The nose reveals intense aromas of spice, blackberry, jam and underbrush. In the mouth, however, it is well-structured and rewarding. There are clear notes of vanilla and incense that accompany herbaceous sensations. The tannin is there and you can feel it but it does not disturb at all since it is well ripe and polished. The finish is also long and pleasant, leaving a pleasantly fruity note in the mouth.

There is no better way to celebrate the short but intense history of Franciacorta than to uncork a bottle produced right where the famous Lombardy sparkling wine was born. The year was 1961. The oenologist was Franco Ziliani and the cellar was that of the famous Guido Berlucchi. The one proposed here is the Brut cuvée of a line dedicated by the historic Corte Franca winery precisely to that invention. Chardonnay in clear predominance with a hint of Pinot Noir, the grapes come from the most suitable vineyards in the 19 communes of Franciacorta. Soft mousse with good persistence, thanks to the fine, continuous perlage, this sparkling wine has a beautiful straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose is fresh, rich and elegant. Notes of white-fleshed fruit and citrus scents are also found on the palate. In the mouth it is fresh, well supported by pleasant acidity, but also soft and well balanced. Perfect as an aperitif, it also does not disdain a place on the table. For a territorial pairing, we can pair it with classic casoncelli, the tasty traditional stuffed ravioli, or with a lake fish dish, such as risotto with perch or a char fillet. But wine is versatile and can adapt to a thousand situations. The only limit might be our imagination.
