How competitions reshaped the sommelier’s profession
From the cellarman of 1813 to today’s advisor, manager and storyteller, the profession has come a long way. Every three or four years, the competition puts that journey on stage. This year, in Lisbon, it plays out once again.
Monferrato: the other Piedmont
Piedmont is more than just Nebbiolo. Across Alto Monferrato, Basso Monferrato and Monferrato Astigiano, a region listed by UNESCO since 2014 cultivates its own identity, grape by grape: Barbera, Grignolino, Ruchè, Freisa, Timorasso… Come with me to the hills born of a sea, to meet winegrowers who are already preparing the wines of tomorrow.
Galicia: The Five Faces of an Atlantic Vineyard
Galicia: five appellations, one Atlantic breath. From saline Albariño to Mencía grown on dizzying slopes, and grape varieties you won't find anywhere else, I set out to meet a wine region with nothing left to prove, and I came back with favourites I haven't finished telling you about.
