A beautiful write up from Sabrina Somigli of IntraVino (a popular Italian Wine Blog), tells the story of getting lost in the hills of Fiesole and discovering as if by chance the vineyards of Poggio La Noce. That in turn led to a visit to the winery and to more tales of journeys and life changes whilst tasting the wines of Poggio La Noce. "Fiesole is full of surprises," she writes, "not the least of which the whimsical names of some of the local wines. And so if in Florence a visit to Fiesole is a must, and a visit to Poggio La Noce is well worth your time!"

Thank you Sabrina for the insightful and colorful write up.

In these crazy times of the pandemic, this year's SlowWine interview had to be conducted via video/Zoom call and so many special thanks to Marco Sangiorgi for the fun and lively chat and for sharing the video. And for our English speaking friends, sorry, but it was conducted in Italian only.

Another so insightful write up by Stephen McConnell of Wine1percent.com about our latest arrival, Pet'Golò!

"A hazy pink meanders around the glass. Not crazily gassed. No explosions on opening, no fizzy overflows, but it certainly isn’t flat either. Anyone who has popped more than one methode ancestrale in their life KNOWS there can be surprises. Here’s a pet-nat from Tuscany, all organic, biologique, sans soufre, about as clean and solid and *un-hippy* as you can get. One of those sparklers that is elegant enough you could disgorge it and charge double. Clean and distinct, gravely latex subtext on a tart berry punch, rich finish overwhelming the acid crunch."

In early spring last year, we had the surprise visit of Grape Insiders, of the well known and well respected Florence based Grape Tours agency, led by Rebecca and Pierre Gouttenoire (super nice Danish-French couple). The result was a fun video filmed by Rebecca of the Poggio La Noce new vineyard, Le Civette and nice chit-chatting during a time when visitors were rare! Many thanks to Rebecca for the visit and for sharing the video.
