On the 26th of May 2026, I had the pleasure of sharing a memorable lunch at Casa Ferlin (link) in Zurich – one of Switzerland’s finest Italian restaurants since 1907 (Gault-Millau even describes it as a century-old Italian institution in a glowing review (link)) – with Davide Gasperini, of Cascina Gilli (link), some wine journalists and Luca Bollati, the Swiss importer (link). This wasn’t just a meal; it was a celebration of Piedmontese winemaking excellence, exceptional cuisine, and the Italian art of far niente – the sweet, deliberate practice of doing nothing but fully savouring the present moment. We tasted some wines from the vintage 2024.
