Vinitaly 2024 closed with a positive balance of 97,000 attendees of which more than a third were foreign operators (up USA, Germany, UK, China and Canada), intensifying the internationalization path. As Poggio ai Laghi we were not exhibiting because ours is a B2C business, I had however planned my...
Vinitaly 2023 closed with an exploit in attendance from the U.S. and Asia with a total attendance of 93,000, including 29,600 foreigners. The growth over the last edition was almost entirely driven by the entries of foreign buyers (+20% approx.) from 143 countries. Vinitaly and the City, the "fuorisalone"...
Wine & Siena 2023: a wonderful opportunity to see sommelier friends again and share tastings, impressions and news in the unique and always very exciting setting of the museum complex of the former Santa Maria della Scala hospital in Siena. Lots of rounds at the tasting tables on the ground floor and levels 6 and...

Wine & Siena 2020 represented my first time as a wine blogger for my Ladygourmet.it: a thrill to pick up the press kit instead of delivering it! It was the fifth edition of the event held Feb. 1-3 at Palazzo Squarcialupi, at the museum complex of Santa Maria della Scala, the ancient hospital of...

Thanks to Davide Bonucci for the...
The twelfth birthday of the Siena/Florence/Tuscany Consulate was celebrated at Agriturismo Palazzetti with wines from Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino, owned by Gioia Cresti and Filippo Cresti, extraordinary producers from Montaperti in the Castelnuovo Berardenga area, an organic production excellence of the Italian territory. Fantastic pairings of almost unobtainable traditional dishes such as stuffed neck with mayonnaise...
A Sunday foray to Radda in the Glass: my personal selection of Chianti Classico producers with pure Sangiovese, including rosé, only from Istine, Brancaia and Volpaia. Happiness is in the little things: warm sunshine, blue skies and a glass of good wine! 🍷
