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.

Orto di Venezia, a treasure (a wine) of the glorious Serenissima (Venezia)
In a previous article, I promised myself I’d seek out ancient grape varieties that produce exceptional wines. Orto di Venezia is one of the very few wineries in Venice still producing wine.

Rosanna Pancotto, a woman dedicated to the culture of wine
The world of the web is truly amazing, offering the opportunity to discover interesting things in my field. It was a great experience for me when I read about Loamatic Wine & Spirits, a wine importer. I was intrigued because the owner had an Italian name and surname.
