A week (ok…10 days) in Italy – Part 1
Part 1 of a look at some of the wine we tried while on a trip to Italy. Our trip to Tuscany was beautiful and we got to try some spectacular wine.

2025 Dalla Terra Spring Producer Tour
An amazing opportunity to try some spectacular Italian wines and chat with the producers.
2018 Pasqua Romeo & Juliet Passione Sentimento Bianco
I like a good label, but the wine still has to deliver. Fortunately, this Italian white punches above its weight.
2018 Tasca d’Almerita Grillo Cavallo della Fate
A refreshing wine for the warmer months, the 2018 Tasca d’Almerita Grillo is a great value.
2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC
The 2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC gives me the first bottle of Montepulciano in nearly 10 years. I think the 10 years has done me well.
2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore
A new grape for me, the 2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio surprised me with flavour and value. Always good to find.
