November 13, 2019 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

If you’re not familiar with these baked goods, you’re missing a delectable treat. In Italian, biscotti means twice-baked and they literally are twice-baked cookies. This biscuit originated in the Tuscan city of Prato but they are now popular all over Italy and far … [Read more...]

Exploring Wine in Switzerland’s Lake Geneva Region

March 18, 2019 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

As a wine enthusiast, I seek to sample wines from lesser-known regions. While I appreciate the supple richness and velvety texture of a Pomerol from Bordeaux and the complex fruit concentrations of Southern Tuscany’s great Brunello di Montalcino, it’s the pours from destinations that are not yet written on the wine lover’s map that really get my palate going. I recently visited Switzerland’s Lake Geneva Region. It’s a gorgeous part of one the … [Read more...]

The Oltrepo Pavese – Milan’s Secret Wine Region

January 10, 2018 by Stef Smulders2 Comments

oltrepo pavese wine region

Though frequently called the Tuscany of the North of Italy, the Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy, only 40 miles south of Milan, is fairly unknown abroad. Tourists pass the area closely when travelling to the real Tuscany, to Umbria or further south. This is a pity as the Oltrepò really offers something worthwhile for almost every tourist, especially food and wine lovers.

May 1, 2016 by Dave2 Comments

After 600 years, the Antinori Family, arguably Italy's most well-known wine family opened their newest estate winery to the public in early 2013 (by appointment). The cellar is located about 25 minutes from Florence and 30 minutes from Siena.
