Terra Petra by Thymiopoulos Vineyards was my favourite wine in a recent wine tasting in London - A red blend of Burgundian quality
A delicious red blend from the foothills of Mt Olympus was my favourite during a recent wine tasting hosted by The Wine Society.
Rapsani Terra Petra by Thymiopoulos Vineyards is a blend of Xinomavro, Stavroto and Krasato - three native Greek grape varieties.
Terra Petra is a wine of Burgundian finesse. Lean yet focused and juicy, with refreshing acidity and fine chiselled tannins. More details in my latest post!
Four Etna winemakers whom I know and value: Benanti, I Vigneri, Frank Cornelissen and Tenuta di Fessina. Their philosophies and wines
In the last two decades, Etna has reached international acclaim as one of the most dynamic and interesting wine regions in Italy and in the world.
Intrepid winemakers are the real protagonists of the Etna wine scene. In the second part of my Etna series, I pick four vintners whom I know and value: Benanti, I Vigneri, Frank Cornelissen and Tenuta di Fessina. Four pioneers of a land full of wonders.

Etna wines are among the finest in Italy. Long history, unique terroir and resourceful winemakers are the ingredients of Etna’s success
Not many vineyards on Earth are imbued with folklore like Mount Etna (found in Sicily, southern Italy). Considered the headquarters of Hephaestus (god of blacksmiths and fire), the realm of King Arthur, a prison for Queen Elizabeth I - just to mention a few legends.
Mount Etna is also one of the world’s most fascinating wine regions. Etna wines are among the finest in Italy. Long history, unique terroir and resourceful winemakers are the ingredients of Etna’s success. Do you want to know more? I explore the vinous wonders of Mount Etna in a two-part series
The first part of my Wine in Art series focuses on wine in ancient civilisations: Mesopotamia, Georgia, Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc.
Wine has been seducing civilisations for more than eight millennia. Through the rise and fall of empires, wine maintained a special place in each culture. As such, wine was represented in different guises of art.
Hittite rhytons, Georgian goblets, Egyptian tomb paintings, Greek vases, and Roman mosaics. These were all art forms used to represent humans’ love of wine.
The first part of my Wine in Art series explores the evolution of wine through the lens of Art, focusing on ancient history.
For TryJanuary, I tried a wonderful ‘Poggio Pini’ Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore by Tenuta Anfosso. An elegant red wine from Liguria, Italy
🍷 WINE AND OTHER STORIES BLOG 🍷 A great red from Liguria is the protagonist of my
new #TryJanuary blog article: ‘Poggio Pini’ Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore by Anfosso.
Kudos to Alessandro Anfosso and Marisa Perrotti, who put together a terrific wine of Burgundian elegance. Full in body, this red is fragrant and full of energy. Balsamic underbrushes echo a splendid integration between red fruity and flowery suggestions. I successfully paired this Rossese with cuttlefish ragu’. Details and full tasting notes in the article

Vigna delle Volpi Piedirosso Campi Flegrei by Agnanum
