This is the new edition of my wine list, theresult of recent tastings and a lot of work.My greatest wish is to help you drink some

good wine; there are some new wines which I foundreally encouraging, and I hope that you will alsoenjoy them, because this is the great joy of myprofession. But my real “challenge” is to offersome important labels at prices you will findnowhere else. Believe me, it is really worth it.Besides, even in the world of wine, the period of

excessive mark-ups finished some time ago. And,praise be, the producers have realised this too. Asfar as new tendencies are concerned, I havemarked “natural” wines with the “ ” symbol,these are organic wines which I very much liked.

But I am a convinced believer that, before being“healthy and natural”, the wine must be ‘good’and we must enjoy it. I love those wines able toexpress their territory, straightforward wines, realand good wines. And I hope you spend, with mygood friends here, a pleasant evening.As ever, your health,
