Passion, solarity, elegance and spirituality. Strange but true, wine speak such wonderful expressions capable of gripped our senses, presented at the stand of the Region of Tuscany in the Vinitaly in Verona. Energy and love. You can drink. Drinking through vibrant full glasses of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Bolgheri, Carmignano Reserve, and let us take the effluvia of an IGT Chianti interspersed with songs of the great poet, or transgressive Cecco Angiolieri, and even the more recent 'master' of the word, Mario Luzi.

In a crescendo of emotions on different days followed and well frequented by connoisseurs of good wine, They were then tasted the ones carrying the heat, the fertility of our land: good Morellino di Scansano, the White IGT Hills of Lucca, nectars of our Tyrrhenian coast, with that divine ...dulcis in fundo, passito d’Aleatico d’Elba. his. Drink well like, especially if we are sitting, comfortable, with a pretzel from ripulir mouth, then deliciously drink again, listening to verses dannunziani, Da Vinci, by Magnifico said 'Lorenzo' in Maremma Carducci.

But here is the other, gelosoni, also by high-sounding names: Redi, Petrarch, Dante still making use of the nobility of their words in a clever play of shapes and taste tensions specially balanced. It breathes a 'sophisticated air, charmer, thin, great sensory effect with glasses who welcome the Crown Syrah, Pomino bianco, two great expressions of Sangiovese which Chianti Classico Riserva and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, wowing then the palate with a good Moscadello di Montalcino.

Toscani. No sir, do not talk about it 'cigar and even wine, but the 'Tuscan person', Figure frank and direct when "the vole”, but also thoughtful and introspective at certain times. Drip down the mystical wine, creating excitement albeit in highly spiritual moments. The wine is 'elegantly moved' reflecting an intriguing sensory quintet: that the alternation of the Pinot Noir Mugellano, pardon, before the Chianti Classico, to follow with a good Carmignano Reserve with lots of Brunello di Montalcino and Vin Santo.

The good chef is never unemployed ". These are the words of Alessio Biagi, chef of the restaurant 'Canapone' of Grosseto winner 2011. Young and cute, with Giulia Montefiori then he offered delicious "finger food" such as: roulade of amberjack with artichokes and black cabbage crackers; small Chianina tartare with egg sauce and mustard and heart, to 'close', carpaccio of cod with onion, toasted pine nuts, pachino, mayonnaise Dragoncello.

Americans estimators good, Germans, Canadians, followed by English and Swiss. Interesting to know that China today is the seventh destination market. Drinking well is a requirement in our vineyards, but even more so is the protection of this precious "nectar of the Gods". By virtue of this the stand "Consorzio del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano" presented 22 companies in direct form, with more than 100 labels the new vintages on the market, in consortium. Bio.

And green in Tuscany there's really a lot and well protected, so much so that our goals for years and years 'prey' of foreigners who love Italian food, well washed down with local wines. Returning to Vinitaly, we talk a moment too Livorno ...okay! especially of the publication "Fish and red wine - brief guide among the excellence of a Tuscan culinary paradox ", beautifully realized by Andrea Leonardi and Marco Provincial. Revolution? No, Only a re-evaluation of the project which celebrates food and wine tradition Livorno dishes in good pairing with 'red' of our coast.
