From the Eternal City to Capalbio: discovering Monteverro
Rome, the eternal and fascinating city, was the starting point for the press tour to discover Monteverro, Capalbio’s jewel winery. Thirteen journalists – challenging any superstition – took part in this short day-tour to see firsthand the winemaking reality of the Costa D’Argento. Welcoming them, under a blue sky and a surprising heat for late October, they found Julia and Georg Weber, the two German owners from Monaco, who have elected the Maremma as their adoptive motherland. Joining them, Matthieu Taunay, a French enologist with an Italian heart, and Silvia Marchetto, the winery’s internal manager for Marketing and Communication. They hosted the visit and did the traditional honors – between barrel tests and unusual tastings – with a toast with Champagne and a lunch signed by Valeria Piccini, one of the ten Michelin-starred female chefs in Italy, who pampered the guests with an extraordinary menu, freely inspired by her land, the Maremma. This unique wine journey, through different vintages and stories of passion- both for the wine itself and for its land- culminated for some with a visit to the extraordinary and dreamlike Giardino dei Tarocchi, for others with a nostalgic return to Rome, but still cradled by the memory of an extraordinary experience.
A trip to the Langa to discover the new vintages of Drink Wines, Not Labels
In September, we have accompanied a group of content creators and lifestyle journalists to discover the project designed by Alessandro Salvano in Montelupo Albese. DWNL®, acronym for Drink Wines Not Labels, is not only the name of the brand, but also the manifesto chosen by Alessandro for his winemaking journey started in 2019. The focus of the project is clear from the beginning: Alessandro wants to channel his passion for Burgundy, and does so by vinifying Nebbiolo with a whole bunch fermentation, using exclusively indigenous yeasts, without clarification or filtration and with low quantities of sulphites. Four years and five harvests later, DWNL® presented the new vintages of classic products from the Langa and some international contamination: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. An afternoon in the vineyards that give life to these wines born outside the borders, beyond the rules and schemes of Disciplinari. An experience that reached its high point at sunset, with a special tasting among the rows, followed by a dinner paired with Barolo, at Petti’s Bistrot, under the striking walls of the Castle. Here, Chef Gabriele Boffa – from the 1 Michelin star restaurant La Locanda del Sant’Uffizio in Penango – surprised the guests with his creations, paired with a special selection of wines curated by Salvano. A journey where we tried to forget rules and preconceptions and to let ourselves be carried away by pure winemaking passion, not restricted by the label.
Press trip in high altitude Discovering Grosjean Vins
The departure is from a hot Milan, to throw in Valle d’Aosta Valley to discover the wines of this area. This is the press day organized by Zedcomm for a group of Milanese journalists to reach on of the historic companies in the Aosta Valley: Grosjean Vins. Wine producers in the Aosta Valley since 1600, the Grosjean family has been able to perfectly combine history, tradition, inventiveness and innovation, in the vineyard and in the cellar. However, it is the “human factor”, represented by the deep bond that each of its members has for their work and their land, that has made it one of the vigneron families that have made Aosta Valley enology important. This bond renewed today by the third generation of the “modern era”, with the management of the Grosjean Vins cellar passed to the young Hervé, Didier, Simon and Marco.
