Dare to be 'unfaithful' in 2017

Dare to be "unfaithful' for 2017! 

Yes, I want to encourage the "unfaithful". The taste of everything that does not belong to the repetition of the "safe" scenario, choosing the moment of pleasure from what is outside the risk-free comfort zone. to push aside what we already know, to explore the unknown .... I would give me immense pleasure if you decide to do so, because that really is my mission ...

And no, we are not talking about what might pop up in your mind first. Everything here revolves around wine. Wine that connects cultures, which brings together young and old, which radiates in the eyes of fans. Wine that results in a five-sensory experience.

Piedmontese Wine Happenings: domains with fame and the unknown names that deserve your unfaithfulness

My inbox is swamped with requests for deliveries, for Produttori del Barbaresco Asili 2011 - Barbaresco and Barolo Gaja, Giacosa, Roagna, Paolo Scavino, Domenico Clerico etc ... In summary, wines placed in super interest by the reviews of critics such as Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Gambero Rosso and Jancis Robertson. It is easy to get lost in this deluge, and aside of how these ratings are established, we can report some domains have chosen not to step onto this treadmill.

Challenge: go back to your starting position and go for the uncharted territory

Many small wineries of only 2 to 4 hectares do not have the marketing "know-how" necessary from the moment they have a "star wine", to turn this into a promotional campaign. These small wine producers really excel but their unique wines, that even surpass some star wines in all respects, will never find you - unless you become "unfaithful".

The teacher only finishes teaching, when the student has liberated himself in terms of mindset - able to receive new information. Let your palate be spoiled by new discoveries that are crucial first steps. The past year we have taken a lot of initiatives to make wine lovers become unfaithful. We have taken the first steps to bring about this change, but there is still some way to go to make it happen.

Poesia della Terra – Nebbiolo 2013

It has been itching for a while: to put my "own wine" on the market. Whilst in the process of choosing, it became clear that it had to be a wine that could age well, but which nevertheless can also be drunk immediately. A wine which, with its 1- euro selling price, is well positioned. A Nebbiolo, no 2014 but 2013, which in terms of color and taste is a lot closer to a Barbaresco wine: that was our vintage point.

Our customers were asked to vote on several proposals to choose the label and they finally opted for a view of the Barbaresco tower, because of the location of the vineyard. It is a combination of a black and white label with red scripture lettering for the name, which is an expression of the passion with which the wine was produced and put onto the market.

Annual plan 2017, our Piedmontese promise towards you!

Paramount in 2017: during the first week of January 2017, we will develop our calendar on which all our tasting dates are listed. Wine tasting in conjunction with a Piedmontese menu and during the period from November till January, also truffle menus. Regional chefs transforming the best of their local products into a harmonious whole, make their appearance in 2017 during theme nights. There will also be more participations in fairs and we will add several new locations for our tastings per province, winemakers who come by and introduce you to their family domain through storytelling. You will love to cheat! That's for sure!
