Valpolicella “Reverie” 2020, Zymé, Veneto, Italy
Graceful, authentic, charming and, yes, dreamy. This cuvée is all that, but more. This sense of counting, of this voluntary simplicity which retains only the essential, beyond the disguised speeches…
Valpolicella Superiore 2019, Zenato, Veneto, Italy
Alberto Zenato had a good laugh when I told him that his wine was not… expensive enough! It sometimes happens that this is the case, that depending on a real…
Castelcerino Soave “Colli Scaligeri” 2021, Filippi, Veneto, Italy
Closing this 2022 vintage with such a burst of fruity optimism is what I wish you modestly, but sincerely, to experience with this dry white which dances and captivates while…
Amarone della Valpolicella 2017, Azienda Agricola Brigaldara, Veneto, Italy
Yes, November seizes you the greyness. You have to fight back. With a few nuggets of parmigiano-reggiano, a truffle risotto or other osso buco, while enriching your taste perspectives with…
concern in Veneto, in the “red zone” contaminated with PFOA, an “eternal pollutant”
It is a beautiful region in northern Italy, which hides large-scale contamination. For four years, life in Veneto has been turned upside down, in particular in a “red zone” delimited…

Pinot Nero 2020, Maculan, Breganze, Veneto, Italy
Rare are the Pinot Noirs which, at less than $20, satisfy the connoisseur while ensuring that they perceive both the fine texture as well as their typical notes of cherry…
Bianco del Camúl 2018, Vini Tonon, Veneto, Italy
We preferred, stylistically speaking, a lower alcoholic strength to a share of residual sweetness to avoid a more heady impression at the end of the course. It defends itself. A…
Valpolicella Ripasso 2019, Tenuta Novara, Bertani, Veneto, Italy
We are here in a profile of seduction. Like a light, fragrant, supple and flowing Pinot Noir, of humble origins, to be sure, but extremely delightful. The Corvina grape dominates…
Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore, Santa Margherita, Veneto, Italy
Bubbles are allowed in January, especially in January. Like rosé wine for that matter. Here they become blowing snow as they crystallize a fruitiness that has become, for the occasion,…
Amarone della Valpolicella 2017, Tommasi, Veneto, Italy
The desiccation of the berries of corvina, corvinone and their faithful sisters stems from this desire to go beyond the simple fruity first taste. Well beyond. The feat is to…
Bonacosta 2020, Valpolicella Classico, Masi, Veneto, Italy
The valpolicella as it is, all crunchy, all tasty, enthusiastic about a handful of ripe cherries crushed to the bite, just to celebrate the rest, as sincere as it is…
Costasera 2016, Amarone Classico, Masi, Veneto, Italy
Like summer for rosé, winter invites red wine to double in power, concentration, thickness and volume to better seal the palate, with this kind of luxuriance likely to evoke the…
Pinot Grigio “Le Rosse” 2020, Tommasi, Veneto, Italy
Don’t ask yourself questions and drink. Largely, greedily, generously, on your saffron mussels or on the prosciutto stringing its plump melon. Because it is like that, the local pinot grigio,…
CampoFiorin 2018, Masi, Veneto, Italy
Due to the disruption of supplies at the SAQ, it is good to revisit this classic, which is currently available in 282 branches. Less concentrated than at a certain time,…
Massimago 2018, Marchesa Maria Bella, Valpolicella Ripasso, Veneto, Italy
This wine evokes the lyrical soaring of a vintage Gamay rubbing against the somewhat haughty posture of a Piedmontese nebbiolo. There is a romance here that seems light at first…
Marne 180, Amarone della Valpolicella 2018, Tedeschi, Veneto, Italy
My friend Jean, a wine neophyte, adores this “concentrate of candied happiness made fruit”. How to blame him? I like to serve it to him, because he appreciates its power,…
Torre dei Vescovi Soave 2020, Cantine Vitevis, Veneto, Italy
We are already dreaming of spring and its blossoming almond trees, but we will have to be content to use a few glasses of this dry, light and lively white,…
