Ca Brione, Nino Negri: I drank the Ca Brione for the first time in a tiny wine bar located in the beautiful town of Bellagio on Lago di Como. It was an instant favorite. Refreshing on a warm summer day, but really suits any season.

Langhe Chardonnay, Cavallotto: Again, Cavallotto is one of my favorite producers, and in addition to his Pinner, his Langhe Chardonnay is very good! I prefer chardonnay less sweet and oaky, so a langhe chardonnay from Piemonte is just perfect for me!

Roero Arneis, Vietti: Slighly biased since I worked with them and they are my good friends, but I think this is one of the best whites from the Barolo region. Very fresh, earthy and easy to drink.

Pinner, Cavallotto: Cavallotto is obe of my favorite producers, their reds are fantastic. But I also love their whites. They make two, a Langhe Chardonnay and their Pinner. Although they are both good, I prefer the Pinner. It’s a 100% Pinot Noir

Herzu, Ettore Germano: Mr. Sergio Germano makes many good wines, but the Herzu is by far my favorite! It’s a Riesling, but tastes nothing like it. It’s fresh and earthy, and not that sweet. I definitely recommend it.

Cinqueterre, Elio Altare: Elio has a big heart, an ambitious mind and kind soul. His project in Cinqueterre is helping save the land and prevent more mudslides. He makes wine on the steep hills near the ocean. It’s hard work, all done by hand and that’s why the wines are a little expensive. His Cinqueterre white wine is one of my favorites.
