The Langa is, in the imagination of many wine lovers, a promised land. An uninterrupted succession of hills characterised by magnificent soils, with ever-changing exposures. Nebbiolo is at home here. The Nebbiolo used in the production of this Barolo DOCG Bussia, in particular, comes from the estate's best vineyards planted between 1993 and 1999. A small plot of just over three hectares, where yields are kept low and the quality of the grapes harvested is particularly high. At the end of the vinification phase, the wine is aged for a long time in large Slavonian oak barrels, for a minimum of 18 months, and then in the bottle. It is only at the end of this long process that we obtain a wine characterised by a typical soft ruby red colour, with a broad bouquet of aromas ranging from roses to sweet spices. In the mouth it is inviting, harmonious, with fine, silky tannins that make the sip extremely long and pleasant. A meditation wine par excellence, it requires an important accompaniment at table. Excellent with game, roasts or mature cheeses.

Enthusiasts know it well: Pinot Noir in Italy has a home of excellence in Oltrepò. Here, Pinot Noir-based wines, still and sparkling, have always been a true speciality. To the point of becoming 'a brand'. Cruasé, in fact, is precisely a Metodo Classico, rosé, produced only from Pinot Nero grapes in the Oltrepò pavese. A fine example is this Oltrenero Cruasé Metodo Classico, matured for a good 36 months in the bottle, in contact with its own yeasts. Bright pink with brilliant reflections with a very fine perlage and a soft, persistent mousse, this Cruasé reveals a fragrant bouquet reminiscent of pleasant citrus notes, such as mandarin, and characteristic hints of small red fruits: from raspberry to currant to wild strawberries. The finish is elegant and reminiscent of bread crust. In the mouth, it is decisive, fresh and with excellent sapidity with an excellent correspondence between nose and mouth. Due to its balance and fragrance, this classic 'Oltrepadano' method is ideal as an aperitif. It goes well with fine cured meats and light dishes such as risottos and vegetable soups. Excellent with shellfish and fish crudités.

This cuvée is the perfect representation of Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne. This variety is perfectly at home on the beautiful hills that define the Charly-sur-Marne area. Pinot Meunier, which some consider the true King of Champagne, accounts for about 70 percent of the cuvée in this case. While the remaining 30% is Chardonnay. After vinification, aging in the cellar continues for at least 2 years. In the glass, it has a beautiful bright yellow color, made vibrant by the abundant and subtle perlage that rises unceasingly from the bottom of the glass to the surface. Its bouquet is discreet and elegant, with a hint of brioche and confit fruit. Then jam and a touch of honey. In the mouth it is smooth, with remarkable balance and undeniable elegance. Due to its moderate dosage, about 8 grams of sugar per liter, this Champagne proves to be extremely versatile. Enjoyable as an aperitif, with small sweet and savory tapas, but also paired with goat cheese and nuts.

When the going gets tough... In Champagne you start playing. And you do it with the best weapons to bring home the right result. In this case, for example, the grapes used to make this Champagne come from just three plots, from three villages classified as Premier Cru. We are talking about Pierry, Dizy and Vertus. But that is not enough. In addition to the quality of the raw material, Sélèque's Champagne Solessence Nature is also the result of a long resting period on the lees, which gives the wine fruity aromas on the nose and ripe aromas on the palate. The Cuvée in this case is composed of 50% Chardonnay, with 40% Pinot Meunier and 10% Pinot Noir. The bases are processed 70% in stainless steel, while the remainder matures in oak barrels. The style of the winery is also given by the bottling without filtration or ageing. In the glass, this Champagne reveals itself as a refined symphony, a wine with its own perfect natural balance. It is the Champagne to offer without hesitation when paired with seafood but also, and probably above all, when the dish is particularly savoury. For fans of fusion cuisine, in particular, it is the bubble that never disappoints with any combination. Even the most daring ones.

Sometimes unjustly regarded as a 'younger brother' of the more noble Pinot Noir, Pinot Bianco is actually a grape variety capable of producing extremely fine and elegant wines. Widely cultivated in many wine regions of the world, such as Alsace and Burgundy, in Italy it is at home in Alto Adige, Trentino and Friuli. The one proposed here by Castello di Spessa is a fine example. It is called Santarosa, Collio DOC, and is made from pure Pinot Bianco grapes grown in the Capriva del Friuli area. Harvested in early September, the grapes are soon brought to the cellar to begin processing. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine is then matured partly in barriques and partly in steel, always in contact with its noble lees, until at least March. Only then is the mass brought together and the wine is finally bottled. Straw yellow in colour with golden notes, the nose is broad and intense with tropical and bread crust notes. On the palate, it is extremely refined, with notes reminiscent of yeast, pear and acacia flowers. Soft and velvety, it has an excellent persistence. It is the ideal wine with fish starters, fish risottos or vegetable soups.

Pauillac is a wine region of great prestige, a land of high quality red wines. This is due to an exceptional terroir and the predominant use of Cabernet Sauvignon, which finds an ideal habitat here on predominantly gravelly soils. In addition, Pauillac is home to several prestigious chteaus, including Chteau Haut-Bages Libéral, which each year produces wines with a complex aromatic profile and a remarkable capacity for ageing. In this case, the basic blend consists of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the remainder. Vinification is carried out in a parcelled and individualised manner, and is characterised by frequent pumping over to extract colour and tannins and a particularly soft vertical pressing. After processing, the wine matures for about 16 months, divided between barriques and amphorae. Freshness, power and elegance are the key words of Chteau Haut-Bages Libéral. Intense ruby red in colour, the nose reveals a broad bouquet with clear notes of red and dark fruit, accompanied by hints of undergrowth and hints of liquorice and vanilla, due to the ageing in wood. In the mouth it is enveloping and balanced, characterised by ripe and silky tannins, with lovely mineral and spicy notes. The finish is also long and pleasant, prolonging the pleasure of each sip for several seconds. Good today, this Pauillac is certainly in no hurry to be uncorked. For a few years, it will be able to evolve in the bottle, waiting for the evening to be the right one. An all-meat menu, with tasty dishes and a slightly spicy character.

Moscato, the good one, is a great dessert wine. Sweet but not too sweet. Rich in aromas and fragrances, it goes perfectly with good home-made desserts. Fruit tarts, above all, but also sponge cakes and grandma's cookies, those made with lots of butter (and love, of course). The one proposed by the Abrigo family is the classic Piedmontese one. In the glass it is a pale straw yellow with a perlage that rises quickly to the surface. The nose has very distinct primary aromas. The grape's own characteristics, which are preserved and enhanced to the fullest thanks to careful processing in the cellar and a particularly rigorous use of cold temperatures. Hints of orange blossom, peach and thyme are clearly recognizable. A real treat for those looking for a pleasantly simple wine to pair with a rewarding end to a meal.

Valle dei Laghi in Trentino, characterized by a mild climate both in summer and winter, is like the Gironde region in Bordeaux, France. Because in both cases the most beloved aromatic grape variety, Sauvignon, is at home and, processed with care and skill, gives life to wines of great value. CAVIT offers it here in this interesting version that belongs to the Bottega Vinai line. Made from crushed and destemmed grapes that undergo a 12-hour cold maceration to facilitate aromatic extraction, it matures only in steel. The result is a wine characterized by an intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals intense aromas well supported by notes reminiscent of elderberry, fig leaf and the classic grapefruit leaf. In the mouth it is dry, full-bodied and pleasantly acidulous. A wine that can do justice to various mouth-watering dishes. Like the classic spaghetti with clams, a risotto with scampi or the most classic of mixed fried foods. Santé.

We certainly would not put it in the small group of "common" grape varieties in Italy. Yet Silvaner is a grape that can really give great satisfaction. Originally from Germany, this grape variety has found a home in several wine regions of the world, including Italy, and in particular South Tyrol, where, thanks to its cool climate and mineral-rich soils, it gives rise to truly interesting products. Like this one proposed by Muri-Gries. In this case, the grapes grow on the southeast-facing slopes of the Bolzano municipality, at an altitude of about 500 meters. Sandy, gravelly soils that are particularly suited. In the cellar, after a week of temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the wine ages in tanks, also made of steel. In the glass it has an inviting deep straw yellow color, with clear aromas that recall herbs, such as chamomile and dried hay, fresh flowers, arnica and dandelion. In the mouth, however, it impresses with good structure and pleasant acidity. It is an inviting and pleasant drinking wine, with a warm and persistent finish. Best served chilled, paired with elaborate hors d'oeuvres, it also pairs well with grilled fish and aged cheeses.

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.

The most autochthonous of the international vines grown in Oltrepò. Pinot Noir, originally from the French region of Burgundy, on the hills of the province of Pavia proves to be truly at home. It is no coincidence that the Oltrepò is the largest European reservoir of this vine, perfect to be worked in red, as in this case, but also in white or as a base for one of the famous regional DOCGs. Losito & Guarini's "C'era una volta" comes from pure Pinot Noir grapes, grown in the shadow of the 45th parallel, halfway between the North Pole and the Equator. Harvested by hand in boxes, the grapes are delivered to the winery to be first crushed and then sent to the maceration phase, in this case enriched by a macro-oxygenation, to obtain the perfect extraction of colour. This is followed by fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts and refinement, in steel, until it is bottled. Bright ruby red in colour, it has intense aromas reminiscent of wild violets, cherries, berries and spices such as black pepper. In the mouth it is full, enveloping, soft and persistent. Pleasant tannin and good structure. Also perfect as an aperitif, with a board of cheeses and cold cuts it is simply ideal.

It is called Primaio and it is a Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, proposed here by San Silvestro. The 'true wine of everyday life in Piedmont', the one that has been drunk in the homes of winemakers for generations. Dolcetto is able to adapt to every dish and every type of meal thanks to its unique versatility. A sincere wine that in the past has struggled to find its rightful place in the spotlight, crushed by Barolo and Barbaresco, but that today is being rediscovered precisely because of its simplicity and its ability to be balanced and familiar. Primaio comes from a simple but careful processing of the best Dolcetto grapes. After processing, it is aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Bright ruby red, in the glass it soon reveals its fresh and immediate character. The nose shows forthright aromas of ripe berries. In the mouth, however, it is pleasantly harmonious and of medium structure. To put it at ease, always serve it with simple traditional dishes, such as veal in tuna sauce or boiled meats. It is also excellent with egg tagliolini or fresh cheeses.

Today we are in Orschwiller, in the heart of Alsace. This is the home of Domaine Allimant-Laugner, which produces excellent local wines. Alsace is a fascinating region, characterised by a hilly landscape at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, with a semi-continental climate offering hot summers and cold winters. This climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly and regularly, preserving their acidity and fresher aromas. Pinot Gris, in particular, is one of the region's emblematic grape varieties, known for its ability to produce rich and complex wines. The result of a winemaking process that respects tradition, the grapes are harvested by hand at the right stage of ripeness. After the harvest, they are gently pressed to extract the must. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the delicate fruity aromas and freshness of the wine. Subsequently, the wine matures on its own fine lees, enriching itself in terms of complexity and structure. In the glass, Domaine Allimant-Laugner's Pinot Gris has an inviting golden yellow colour. On the nose, the bouquet is open and pleasant, dominated by notes of dried apricot, honey and sweet spices. In the mouth, it is dense and long, with a soft structure and a lingering finish. The richness of the fruity aromas is combined with pleasant acidity, creating a rewarding experience. This Pinot Gris also reveals a remarkable capacity for ageing. In its youth it reveals freshness and liveliness, but after a certain period of rest in the cellar, which can last up to 6-8 years, it will develop more aromatic complexity, becoming even more intriguing and refined. It is perfect with foie gras, thanks to its richness and natural sweetness that balance the savouriness of the dish. It also goes well with cheeses from the region, especially soft, washed cheeses such as Munster. Excellent with white meats, such as roast chicken or turkey, and fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna, thanks to its full-bodied structure and long, harmonious finish.

If Chardonnay is - par excellence - the grape of the whites of Burgundy, in Italy, and particularly in Trentino, it has always proved to be at home. Its floral notes and hints of yellow-fleshed fruit make this grape the absolute protagonist both in the case of wines aged only in steel, ready to drink a few months after the harvest, and when left to mature for a long time in oak barrels. Merum is the Chardonnay of the Lagertal house. It is a wine that encapsulates the aptitude of the terroir (with a vocation for viticulture) and the ability of the winery's oenologists to extract its characteristics to the full, transforming it into a great Trentino DOC wine. A 'pure' Chardonnay, just like its name. A simple but accurate vinification process, at the end of the transformation the wine is decanted into steel tanks where it rests for about 6 months before bottling. This is followed by a further rest in the bottle for about 3 months before release. Straw yellow in colour with greenish highlights, the nose reveals an intense and fine bouquet of flowers and yellow fruit, particularly Golden apple. In the mouth, however, it is harmonious and persistent with good freshness. A very versatile white, it is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany fish dishes, shellfish, white meats and mature cow's milk cheeses.

Originally from France, Cabernet Franc has found a second home in Australia, where it thrives in several wine growing regions. Here it produces wines characterised by elegance and complexity. The best areas are Margaret River, Yarra Valley and Coonawarra, where the cool climate and chalky soils give the wine vibrant acidity and distinctive minerality. A fine example is this Francis, Cab Franc offered by Penley Estate.

On the nose, raspberry leaf, red liquorice, black cherry, cardamom and pink pepper. A pleasantly floral and crisp bouquet. In the mouth, the tannins are fine and it is easy to find a good correspondence with the previously perceived scents, with a core of red fruits and spices.

Pessac-Léognan, in the panorama of the Bordeaux region, is one of the most prestigious and oldest production areas. One of the few to have the same reputation for the production of both red and dry white wines. It is no coincidence that Pessac-Léognan is home to some of the most renowned wineries in Bordeaux, including Chteau Haut-Brion, one of the five Premier Cru Classé from 1855. We are located in the northern part of the Graves region, on the left bank of the Gironde. The red wines of Pessac-Léognan, in particular, are mainly produced from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, with possible additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. They are characterised by their structure, elegance and complexity. Just like this Chteau de Fieuzal, son of a blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. In the glass, it has a beautiful ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose is surprising for the richness of its bouquet, which plays on a symphony of fresh fruit, including blackberries, blueberries and plums, to which are added spicy notes of cloves and a pleasantly iodine finish. In the mouth, however, it proves to be a particularly gratifying, medium-bodied red with sinuous tannins. Velvety on the palate, it has a pleasantly soft and fruity character. Excellent with roasts, even very tasty ones. Perfect with medium-aged cheeses and cured meats.

Nebbiolo, as we know, really feels at home in the Langa, even if it does not disdain its location in other Italian regions. Here, where Barolo and Barbaresco share the Olympus of the great Italian reds, Nebbiolo manages to express itself well even in less demanding versions. As in the case of this Langhe Nebbiolo proposed by Franco Boasso. The starting grape is the same as that also used to produce the company's finest wines. Only the processing is less time consuming and demanding. After vinification, in fact, this red wine is not left to mature in the cellar for years, but only 6 months. In oak barrels, of course. This is enough to smooth out the edges of Piedmont's most tannic grape and make it pleasantly drinkable. The result is a wine characterized by a lively ruby red colour. On the nose, red fruit and gentle notes of sweet spices, such as cinnamon. In the mouth, on the other hand, you find the vigour of the best Nebbiolo of Langa, with a nice body and an elegant and velvety tannicity. If there is an impressive mixed boiled meats dish on the table, with all its mouth-watering sauces, the risk is that one bottle will finish too soon. Better to have a second one already set aside and maybe even a third.

In France, its home region, and more generally in the Old World, it is called Syrah. Even in Italy, in Tuscany in particular, it is used to give rise to wines of great pleasantness and character. Outside Europe, and particularly in Australia and South Africa, as in this case, it is instead called Shiraz. The grape variety, let's be clear, is the same. But the resulting wine is decidedly different. Finer in the Old World, particularly where grapes grow in a cooler climate. More powerful and structured when Shiraz is grown on more fertile soils with more sun and heat. And this Cape Dream is no exception. Matured in large oak barrels for about 9 months, this Shiraz is particularly elegant and intense, with typical smoky aromas. A good wine already, but capable of aging well in the cellar, gaining more aromatic complexity as the months go by. To be uncorked without hesitation when the evening involves savory meat dishes. Excellent with roasts.

Saint-Émilion is a charming medieval town in the Libourne region of France, and home to some of the most interesting red wines in the Bordeaux region. The appellation Grand Cru is awarded only to the best wines, shown in the famous 1855 classification. Merlot is the predominant grape variety on this river bank, accompanied by Cabernet-Franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon. A fine example of this is this Chteau Fombrauge, Saint-Émilion Gran Cru Classé, which is made precisely from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Hand-picked grapes selected for health and proper ripeness are delivered to the winery in small crates. They then undergo careful sorting on a sorting table, before and after destemming. About 20 qualified people participate in this operation. The transformation process varies according to variety, and the wine is assembled only a few months before the beginning of the wood maturation phase. In this case, the winemaker's planned aging is about 16 months, in new oak barrels for 40 percent and second-passage barrels for the remainder. In the glass, it is a beautiful deep, dark ruby red color. The nose reveals seductive notes of fruit and flowers, with distinct flavors of black cherry, blackberry and elderflower. In the mouth it is intense and fruity. Soft and persistent, this is a wine that requires rich pairing. Excellent with game, loves all red meat dishes.
