From April 5 to 9 the world of wine meets in the Veneto. Producers , winemakers , buyers, journalists, bloggers , restaurateurs , sommeliers, fans come from every corner of the world to Vinitaly 2014 Vinnatur and Vini Veri. The dances started yesterday, Saturday, April 5 with the two events related to the world of natural wine: Vinnatur at Villa Favorita, Sarego and Vini Veri at Area Exp, Cerea. Today, with the celebrating rituals of a major international started in Verona, Vinitaly 2014. Meetings, debates , tastings but especially millions of cups contested observed , sniffed and tasted in just five days. Browsing through my photo albums I dusted this photo taken in a cellar of the Euganean Hills , Vignalta in Arquà Petrarca. The bottle handled by the skilful hand of Michele Montecchio , cellar master and man symbol of the cellar, Cabernet 1990 is a myth for wine lovers of my generation. Lucio Gomiero and Franco Zanovello conquered with this wine , the first major recognition for an area still unaware of their own potential . Today the Euganean Hills are a land of wine among the most interesting of northern Italy, in these hills , old houses , farmhouses and villas have been converted into wine cellars, slopes covered with vineyards. The Euganean Hills are confirmed an ideal place for wine and gastronomic tours.
