Rip - Frank Van der Auwera - the journalist who put Poesia della Terra on the world map We go back to anno 2013, the moment I decided to settle in Barbaresco, and a whole other world revealed itself. In Barbaresco itself of course, the other hill just opposite my home but also beyond. Barbaresco was a temporary residence, for three years. Via via via - the normal way in Piemonte - we came into contact with Sergio Ternavasio, a small wineboer who makes only 1200 bottles per variet...

Did you know that Piedmont is the only region without IGTs? Yes, the Piedmont appellations are DOC and DOCG only and exclusively. An asset for this region that contains a true kaleidoscope of macro and micro wine regions with an undisputed vocation. Conditional appellations and, often, similar grape varieties. And yet, when we talk about Piedmontese wine, the neophyte tends to focus on a few well-known areas, all too often leaving out some of the most interesting micro areas of the entire Italia...

Barbera d'Asti: from inn wine to "ambassador" of Monferrato
Few wines have the ability to express the folk soul of an area as well as Barbera! An osteria wine par excellence, in the noble sense of the word. A wine with a pleasant rustic character that today also charms surprising personalities of nobility.
Barbera is on the hunt for revenge for its misrecognition in a distant past, without giving up its label of humble wine for the bar. For today, the osteria in Piedm...

April is the month of debut for young wines, the fruit of the 2020 harvest. The locals expect an excellent vintage, but the market is light and shady.
There is a lack of tourists at the winery and restaurants are still closed. "They're going to do better exports, big retailers and online sales - said Diego Furia, director of Coldiretti Asti, - . We sincerely hope that the new vintage will be appreciated in the markets, especially domestic ones, also because it contains im...

Nicely done, or at least better than expected. For example, Piedmont wines have behaved in 2020, despite the uncertainties and difficulties caused by the pandemic. And although the Covid distress does not yet seem to be abating, the first months of 2021 also seem to confirm a trend of considerable stability, albeit with many differences between denominations, positions and reference markets.
The first figure concerns exports, which are much healthier than the domestic market. According to...

In 2020, exports of red wines with a Piedmont appellation increased by 5.8%. "This shows how Piedmontese wine is increasingly gaining a foothold on the 5 continents." Filippo Mobrici, President of the Consortium for the Protection of Barbera, views the data with satisfaction, "These figures are more than encouraging when we think back to last year, to all that happened, the analysis of the figures gives us a smile.
55 million bottles of Barbera are produced. 66 million bo...
