⛰Piemonte is actually mostly covered with mountains and not just vine covered hills!

🥾On my days off, we love going to the mountains for some peaceful scenery, change of landscape and nature! This place is only 50 minutes from my house while the Langhe is 35. If you have enough time in Langhe, make sure you take one day trip to the Alpine valleys

🤪The more Barolo reaches elite status and seriousness, the more I want to frequent the places where you have fun!

@la_terrazza_da_renza is a favorite spot that gives you that friendly feeling with a gorgeous view and fresh ingredients. Mamma Renza can still be seem cutting up your 🍓strawberries just like you were with family at your own home. Everything is delicious including their wine selection! Be prepared to stay for hours😅😅😅 or come back looking like a lobster like me!🦞

I’ll take you there next time you come!

“Why don’t Italians eat vegetables!?” I hea

“Why don’t Italians eat vegetables!?”

I hear this all the time and I admit it can be hard finding veg especially in the Fall and Winter seasons. Every so often you can find just a simple fresh tomato and basil sauce which is like stumbling on a special treasure like this maltagliati from Antica Torre in Barbaresco. If this isn’t available you can get mushroom sauces too if you are lucky.

A few tips for finding veg-
🍆 stay in a rental apartment so you can buy fresh produce at the markets and stay in one night
🌶 find a salad (Insalatone) at a regular bar/caffe not restaurant, sometimes pizzerias have good salads too
🥕 Have pasta but them ask if you can have just the “contorno” side vegetables
🥗 Ask for a green salad off the menu

Do you often crave vegetablea when in Italy?

🍷 Barbaresco Basarin Riserva 2015

🏡 Winery is run by the two brothers Marco and Vittorio with their respective families and lovable labrador retrievers 🥰 The family is aways friendly, passionate and down to earth with good family values and we appreciate this so much!

🍇 Their riserva is a beautiful and seductive Barbaresco (100% Nebbiolo) coming from the best section of the very steep slope of Renowned MGA cru Basarin in Neive. In this vineyard you can generally find grey marly soil and tuf.

😋 Ripe red fruits, tobacco, forest floor, roses and a bit of mint pop from this glass. The wine has silky tannins that envelope the whole palate with persistent finish

🔦 Just received by our wine club members this Spring! DM me if interested in joining before it gets too hot to ship!

🐞Meeting and learning from the winemakers is one of my favorite parts of my job. Building a relationship with the Piemontese can take years and I value the people who are part of my wine world!🐞

🇮🇹Monday was another holiday in Italy - Liberation Day! I ventured out to taste this Sangiovese from @chiaracondello.

🍷 I have been studying for my @winescholarguild #IWS and although most of the must try wines from Emilia Romagna are Lambrusco and Albana I couldn’t resist picking this up. I have heard a lot about this young girl making stand out organic wines (30,000 total bottles) from Romagna!

⛪️Fun fact: It is even said that Sangiovese was first given its name from a monk who looked up at the monastery on the hill of Colle Giove , which became Sanguis Jovis (Jupiter’s Blood)! 🩸

🍷How cool is Alessandro’s family memorabilia

🍷How cool is Alessandro’s family memorabilia from Rocche Costamagna winery in La Morra?!

♦️He shows us this winery poster from 1911 suprisingly (for those times) showing a classy woman drinking RED WINE. Also on the poster it describes Barolo as “vino di lusso” or luxury wine. I love historical wineries don’t you?♦️

What an honor to finally be able to get to know Franco Massolino and his son Luca today.

Even if they are sold out of their Barolos already I was happy to retaste their crisp Riesling and Langhe Nebbiolo which I always love! The 2019 has some grip and power to it with strawberry jam and an added peppery note that I loved. I was very excited to taste the first edition of Barbaresco as well (made from 3 different plots in Neive) which was delicate with laser like precision and purity. The Barolo 2018 classic was spot on- I mean come on, there is Vigna Rionda in it!!! What a special treat!

(Not only are the barrels tall but the boys too … hence me standing in my tippy toes!)

Look what Nonna Maria delivered to us! Her Sunday home-made tajarin pasta for lunch 😋

The best pairing for tajarin with ragu is … BAROLO!

🍷We chose @azienda_agricola_stra Barolo La Volta 2016 from our wine club selection today. So much of wine is the story it tells. The memory that sticks out in my mind when visiting Stra winery is the classic nonnina making fresh pasta in the kitchen for the family to eat for lunch. This is 🇮🇹!

Buon appetito!🍽
