Vinitaly 2009 – Talking about wines from Puglia 0

Posted on April 03, 2009 by Stile Mediterraneo

The Vinitaly International Wine Fair is going in Verona and we think lots of wineries are presenting excellent wines. Not only the Primitivo and Negroamaro that everybody is talking about but also the more interesting Sussumaniello and Ottavianello grapes. These are ancient grapes that a few wineries saved from extinction.This month we want to recommend the Accademia dei Racemi winery. We think they make some of the best wines from Southern Italy!

Grape harvest 2007 in Italy: excellent Italian wines! 0

Posted on October 03, 2007 by Stile Mediterraneo

Four of the most important Italian winemakers agree that the 2007 Grape Harvest will result in excellent wines.

From Piedmont Barolo producer, Michele Chiarlo, to Fausto Peratoner, the director of Cantina La Visa in the Trentino; from Marco Caprai, the Umbrian winemaker who put Sagrantino back on the map, to Alessio Planeta in Sicily who, together with Francesca and Santi, run the most successful winery in Sicily – all agree that the uniting factor of the Italian grape harvest, from the north to the south of Italy, is the high quality of this year’s wine.

Wine tasting and grape harvest in Puglia Salento Italy 0

Posted on August 21, 2007 by Stile Mediterraneo

Carpignano Salentino 1st weekend, September 2007

Dancing and wine tasting at the “Festa te lu mieuru“.

The “festa te lu mieru” is held every year in Carpignano Salentino, during the first weekend in September, for three or four days. It was first held in 1974. During this fiesta wine is drunk in the town’s squares and it is considered a “magical” drink because it makes people feel less embarassed and helps them start the famous tarantate dance.

Close to the stadium, during the evening, the name of the best local wine of the previous year is announced.

Here you will be able to drink as much wine as you want and you can also taste typical dishes.

For example, taste a very special hot panino roll with ricotta scante, which is a special kind of paste made in the Salento, anchovies and hot chilli pepper oil. You can also try pieces of horse meat with sauce or frise. Finally there is lots of lacciu, pieces of celery that locals love dipping into wine, to avoid getting drunk immediately.

Celebrations go on all night long.
