Italy to Guarantee Wine Authenticity
SelectPlusItaly to Guarantee Wine AuthenticityItaly to Guarantee Wine AuthenticityThe Associated PressItaly has set up a panel of experts to check if Brunello di Montalcino meets production standards, following an investigation into whether some of the wine might have been cut with other grape varieties. (July 4)The Italian government announced today it will guarantee the authenticity of Brunello of Montalicino...(SOUND OF PEOPLE TOASTING WITH BRUNELLO)Brunello is one of Italy's best known wines, made exclusively from San Giovese grapes... Italians say it has brought them honor and prestige around the world. But a scandal this spring tainted its elegant name..It began when investigators in Tuscany confiscated hundreds of thousands of bottles saying they suspected the wine was being cut with another variety of grape, such as sauvignon or merlot.25-percent of Brunello produced every year IS sold in the United States- so american wine-experts were not pleased to hear that the Brunello they were drinking might NOT be the real thingThe US threatened to block all imports of Brunello unless Italian authorities did laboratory tests to prove that the wine was made with only San Giovese grapes. But experts say those tests are slow and costly. Now the US and Italy have reached a compromise. The US Ambassador to Italy Ronald Spogli explained .... SOT: RONALD SPOGLI, US AMBASSADOR TO ITALY: the issue was simply having the assurance that it was 100-percent San Giovese.... that is the reason why the determination was ultimately made to this agreement whereby the Italian government would stand by the notion that the wine that was exported to the Untied States being called Brunello was indeed brunello according to the rules established by the consortium.Under the new decree, government inspectors will visit the vineyards, examine the grapes and check the wine to guarantee the product is made with San Giovese grapes and nothing else. STAND-UPTo some this may seem like a tempest in a wine glass, but Brunello sales bring in more than 185 million dollar a year to Italy, so its purity and authenticity must be unquestioned.Trisha Thomas, the Associated Press, Montalcino

Hanging out in MONTEPULCIANO during Bravio Delle Botti | Drone Included | Tuscany, Italy |
We spent three days in the Tuscan town of Montepulciano and it just happened to be at the start of their Bravio Delle Botti Festival. They hold a number of events that are really meant for the community, but we got to experience the local wine tasting night and the parades of the different regions. We also managed to sneak a bit of drone flying in!

It's Race Day: Getting Ready to Watch Siena's Palio
At Siena's Palio horse race, bleacher and balcony seats are expensive, but it’s free to join the masses in the square. And those who are really well-connected get to watch from the comfort of an apartment window. Roberto’s friend, Franco, shared his apartment overlooking the race course...and we’re enjoying the best seats in town. From this vantage point, we watch as the square fills, lots of pageantry unfolds as each neighborhood does its flag-waving thing, and race time approaches. The ritual and the strict traditions are inviolable. The excitement builds.
Siena throws a great party, and they’ve had plenty of practice. During our several days in town, things went smoothly, security was solid yet very low-key, people had a rowdy great time but nothing got broken, and wherever the horses went...so went the unheralded pooper scoopers.
This is Day 96 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I lead tours, research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Vienna, the Alps, the Low Countries, England, Siena, and beyond. Find more on my travel blog at

Pisa and Lucca in Tuscany, Italia
Tuscany is famous for its beautiful towns, villages and cities as well as its stunning landscape and ultimately for its good food and wine. In this video we will show you highlights from Pisa and Lucca in Tuscany. We will also show you NOVASOL holiday homes in this area. In the center of Pisa is the famous Leaning Tower which is a symbol of this city. There are also cozy streets with typically yellow houses and homes. Lucca is a very well kept medieval city with amazing food. You can taste a lot of different fish and pastas prepared in a traditionally Tuscan way here. This city has many attractions such as the statue of Giacomo Puccini who is a central figure in the city’s history. There are many small restaurants owned by the locals who will sometimes also cook the food themselves. This means that you are guaranteed an authentic Tuscan meal. Book a NOVASOL holiday villa in Lucca or Pisa in Tuscany and taste great food, experience exciting culture, visit the Leaning Tower and much more. Novasol website:
Lively Siena, Pre-Palio
(Central Italy was hit by a devastating earthquake last night. Aftershocks could be felt in Siena, almost 150 miles away from the earthquake’s epicenter. My crew, friends, and I are all OK. Our hearts go out to all who have been affected.)
The night before Siena's Palio, at midnight, the streets were filled with eating, drinking, singing, and camaraderie, as neighborhoods gathered to pump each other up for the big horse race. The city is full of both locals (who live this ritual as if it’s in their DNA) and tourists (who are generally clueless and are just waiting for the race), living in parallel worlds. Your challenge is to bridge those worlds.
Siena is divided into 17 neighborhoods, or contrade. Historically, these were autonomous, competitive, and filled with rivalries. Each contrada — with its own parish church, fountain, and square — still plays an active role in the life of the city. And each is represented by a mascot (porcupine, unicorn, she-wolf, and so on) and a distinctive flag — colors worn and flown all year long, but omnipresent as the race nears. And, tonight, each contrada has a party going on.
This is Day 93 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Vienna, the Alps, the Low Countries, England, Siena, and beyond. Find more on my travel blog at

Esa-Pekka Salonen on Italian and French Masterpieces
I think that for most artists, or for many artists, there has been a defining moment and that's contact with the otherness. All of a sudden you're facing something that is totally alien to you and that energy usually gets things to move along. - Esa-Pekka Salonen
28 February 2019 at Royal Festival Hall in London:
We caught up with Philharmonia Orchestra Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, in Verona, Italy, to find out more about his programme of French and Italian masterpieces (28 February 2019), including the works of Respighi, Ravel, Berio, Debussy and Donatoni. Esa-Pekka shares the moving story of how Donatoni's work, ESA (In cauda V), was created, and reflects on his time in Italy as a composition student.

ALLEGRINI BOOT CAMP 2018
40 YOUNG PEOPLE FROM 16 COUNTRIES TAKE VALPOLICELLA BY STORM.
MARILISA ALLEGRINI: “WE TO MAKE THEM TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ITALY”
Forty young, talented wine lovers from 16 countries, and over 40 Italian and foreign wines tasted, three evenings together, in the centre of Verona and in Valpolicella, and the pledge to meet up again next year for another networking opportunity. The first edition of the Allegrini Boot Camp has drawn to a close at Villa Della Torre, in Fumane di Valpolicella (Verona), a full immersion in the world of wine dedicated to the wine advocates of the future but, above all, of the present: sommeliers, buyers, influencers, restaurateurs, importers and other professionals in the sector.
“I believe a great deal in the value of young people, and how they succeed and will succeed in the future in relaying our products to the world at large – explains Marilisa Allegrini –. An experience like this enables them to get to know Valpolicella and Verona but, above all, Italy. We want to make these young people fall in love with Italy. They are important to us for understanding the values we need to communicate to the new generations. We wanted to illustrate that Allegrini is a real thing: in a world made up of marketing and social media, transmitting what is tangible really enables them to understand how and where the quality of Made-in-Italy products is born”.
After a tour in the centre of Verona, the group participated in a seminar on Italian wines and visited the Terre di Fumane drying facility, where the grapes are currently being transported to make Amarone 2018. Afterwards, they moved to the Fieramonte vineyard for a practical lesson in harvesting, introduced by Franco Allegrini.
In the evening, the first tasting session was held, followed by dinner on the lawn of Villa Della Torre, transformed into a ‘campus’ for the occasion, and a welcome party.
The participants then pitted themselves off against each other in a contest on wine communication. The winning group won with their project ‘Risorgimento Vineyard’, which proposed reclaiming and re-establishing an old vineyard on the hill called Fumana, opposite Villa Della Torre, to be transformed into a permanent, open-air workshop for viticultural training.
Among the speakers at the Allegrini Boot Camp was the journalist Aldo Fiordelli, who spoke about what makes news in the wine world, Giuseppe Di Martino, administrator of the Di Martino group, who focused on the relationship between pasta – which he produces – and wine, Stevie Kim, managing director of Vinitaly International, who shared her experiences of a life spent in digital marketing, and Martino Crespi, of Jeunes Restaurateurs, who addressed the theme of the central role played by beverage in luxury events. The tastings, by the top sommeliers Walter Meccia and Gennaro Buono, led the participants on a journey of discovery of some of the great Italian single varietal wines and the particular expressions that the same vines take on in different territories.
The young ‘Boot Campers’, from the United States, Holland, Russia, Italy, Germany, Norway, Mexico, Sweden, Iceland, Israel, England, Ghana, Slovakia, Poland, Portugal, and Ukraine have pledged to come together again next year. In particular, the winners of the contest will be guests, in 2019, at the Allegrini Family’s wineries in Valpolicella, Bolgheri and Montalcino.
