Anteprime - Lugana: il frutto salato del Garda

Una premessa. La mia amicizia con Paolo De Cristofaro mi mette in una condizione di evidente conflitto di interessi non, di certo, in merito ai vini in degustazione ma nel raccontare, innanzitutto, del luogo dove quest'evento ha avuto luogo lo scorso martedì 30 giugno...

German wines: delight in red and white

It went extremely well with the food that I had ordered (Italian pasta filled with mushrooms). The wine is perfect and was a good choice.
