Di Loro wines

Gianluca is a man with his own creed and lifestyle consistent with his concept of harmony between man and
nature. The wine produced is a result that we could call alchemical of different kinds, a whole of love, respect and harmony between the cosmos, nature and man.

Luigi Di Tulio

Executive Ambassador  Castello di Gabbiano(winery) and ONAV Wine Technical Taster

People often say: “How small the world is”, I found myself saying the same thing a few days ago, I have known Luigi for many years because he is in the wine sector, so I thought of introducing ONAV, of which I am the Delegate for Canada, and to my great surprise I heard the answer that he was also an ONAV member.

Gambero Rosso and the Pasini Giovanni winery

Last week the usual Gambero Rosso 3 Bicchieri Canada event took place in Vancouver, wonderfully well organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce. Habit leads me to always arrive early, the reason is always very simple, since there are no crowds I can talk calmly with importers and wineries. Wandering among the exhibition stands I tasted excellent wines, but curiosity made me stop…

Refosco……... a suggestive wine

I’d like to talk about a fascinating grape variety with an evocative name: Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, a native grape and a true winemaking treasure waiting to be shared. I discovered this wine 30-35 years ago, when a friend who worked in Milan told me about an old trattoria where the house wine was Refosco. He let me taste it, and from there I began to love this wonderful wine.

Pinot Noir… The story of a myth

Pinot Noir is one of the most important grape varieties in the world. We can describe Pinot Noir in two words: The enfant terrible of grape varieties. Today we’ll talk about one of the most famous grape varieties in the entire winemaking world, for better or worse. Yes, because Pinot Noir is a red grape variety, prone to caprices and unpredictability, that develops a powerful bond with its terroir.

LEGENDARY WINES

Vin Jaune: a yellow wine from the Jura

This is the typical wine for researchers and enthusiasts of rare wines. Vin Jaune, a yellow wine, is the jewel in the Jura winemaking crown. It’s an intense, oxidized wine with a complex flavor, full of dried fruit flavors, yet with excellent freshness and unique depth. It’s not a simple, straightforward wine; like all great oxidized wines, it deserves our full attention.

The wonderful world of OXIDATIVE wines

A wine is defined as “oxidized” when it has been exposed to oxygen for a prolonged period, causing significant changes in its color, aroma, and flavor. Indeed, oxygen has long been considered “wine’s enemy.” Pasteur was likely the first to recognize oxygen as an essential factor in the evolution of a red wine.
