La Storia del Vino
For our Italian audience we have found this interesting article on the history of wine.
Moscato d'Asti
We have found an interesting article from The Guardian newspaper about Moscato d'Asti. The article is a few years old but explains the quality of this beautiful wine.

Fattoria Il Gambero- Alborada
2009 Alborada (Oltrepo Pavese D.O.C.)
We are approaching summer and think we have found the perfect wine for the season. This wine is a unique sparkling red wine called Alborada. A 2009 vintage from Fattoria Il Gambero, a quaint winery from Southwest Lombardia. Operated by Vittorio Ferrario and his wife, the winery is very small, and has a miniscule production yield. The micro-climate of this particular region of Lombardia, which makes this wine unique and easy-going. The Alborada is slightly sparkling, fruit-forward, fresh, and should be served slightly chilled. The perfect combination with a hot summer day. The wine is made with 100% Croatina grape, and would match perfectly with seafood appetizers, cold-cuts, and carne cruda.
We have included a short video, which shows the 2009 harvest.
