Step into the ring with two Italian titans: Barolo and Brunello.

Join us on a journey of discovery to explore the history, flavors, and small producers behind these legendary wines.
The Langhe region in Piemonte, Northern Italy, is renowned for its exceptional red wines, but the story of each vintage is written by Mother Nature herself. Barolo winery owner Aldo Clerico wisely notes that winemakers don't make the same wine every year; it all depends on nature's whims. In this article we explore the Langhe's most recent vintages as we've witnessed first hand the impact of climate shifts on this terroir with extreme weather, such as devastating hailstorms, altering the winemaking landscape. Learn how Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo grapes adapt to vintage variations from 2016 to 2021. Join us in understanding how the weather's ever-changing story shapes Langhe's timeless wines.

What’s behind the phenomenon of the Spritz cocktail? How did the Spritz come about, why is it so popular, and how do you make it?

Because, you see, the way you have your Spritz is a very personal taste preference, like asking someone how you take your coffee. For those of you making cocktails at home, we have a recipe Spritz Aperol, for you to get started to become a Spritz Master.

Film fans may have seen (before he went Searching for Italy) Stanley Tucci unveiling a sumptuous masterpiece called Timpano in the 90s film, The Big Night. We know we sure wanted a piece watching that climatic scene!
So we went searching, and found the history of the dish is actually found in an Abruzzese dish called Timballo. We got the recipe from a real Abruzzese, Gaia, who shared her family recipe for Timballo di Teramo with us! And surprise, it is not at all as difficult as we thought to pull together, very simple in fact!
So, pour yourself a glass of natural abruzzese wine, and read on about how to create your own Timballo at home.
