The Hidden Gem of Venetian Wines
A Personal Discovery Through Four Bottles

Ever encountered a wine that intrigues you, yet you know almost nothing about it? To avoid any misstep, you open it with good friends — ideally at the end of a warm summer day, perhaps by the sea or a lake. After the first sips, the verdict is clear: this is not a wine that would win gold in the technical programme of the figure-skating world championships, but it would undoubtedly medal high — perhaps even take the podium — in the free programme. That’s exactly the feeling these four Venetian wines leave behind. They charm through character and expression rather than textbook perfection. Join me on this journey.
