Ennio Pucciarelli on LinkedIn: 1981-2021 40th anniversary Concerto Fonterutoli First time tasting this… (2024)

Grower Champagne tasting!What an amazing opportunity to taste so many different styles and terroir one next to another hearing from the producers themselves about the soil, vintage, lees aging, dosage and reserve.Even more incredible the fact that there were so many mono varietal Pinot Meunier expressions, something quite rare but always so satisfying! Love its finess and freshness!!!#leaandsandemann #champagne #winetasting

My first co*cktail competition.For many years I also had the responsibility of the drink offer and had my fair share of co*cktails to stir and shake and even had the chance to play with spirits liqueurs mixers to create new experiences for our guests and presenting my latest creation at the Graham’s Bend Series co*cktail Competition 2024 has been like a celebration of this parallel career of mine. My idea was to have the sea in a glass, the Mare Nostrum is based on Graham’s Port n5 Grappa and White Wine, all elemets that have been at the center of the trade for centuries and brought people from different shores and traditions together.The competition was hard, many talented mixologists, but it was also fun and made me realise that often our will and passion can fill the gap with what we lack in expertise.Can’t wait to see what’s next!#grahams #port #fells #co*cktail #competition #passion

Royal Tokaji masterclass with Christopher Donaldson MW,a rare opportunity to learn about and taste wines with one of the longest tradition that is finding its way in the modern era. A region that has been blessed with a unique terroir that with the right care is able to give life to some really extraordinary wines in the classic sweet azu style, medium sweet late harvest or dry and crisp, no to forget the rare Essencia, so rich that a single drop will fill your body and soul… köszönöm#masterclass #royaltokaji #fells

https://lnkd.in/e2BB3QQmRiccardo Ricci CurbastroI discovered his Franciacorta wines years ago and been a great appreciator since, and today listening to this podcast I was draw by his words and I really want to get to know more about his work and understand what are these ‘equalitas’ sustainable standards, that I never heard of so far. As he said the process is long. It cannot happen in just a moment, but we have to start somewhere if we want to change anything at all.#equalitas #sustainability #federdoc #efo #italianwinepodcast #riccardoriccicurbastro #standards #startingpoint

Salvo Foto ‘I Vini del Vulcano’Book written (2005) when I was just starting to appreciate wine here and there and today, after drinking many many bottles, spent a few days on its black slopes hearing a few stories from the producers, this book still has much to tell me to better understand one of my favourite wine regions. It is for everyone, there is history tradition politics present culture a bit of science, I really recommend it to anyone who wants to understand not just the wines per se but also where it is coming from.#salvofoti #ivigneri #etna #sicily #nerellomascalese #nerellocapouccio #carricante #oldvines

Be Kind!Right now I was supposed to watch the Verdi’s Luisa Miller in Tours, unfortunately it was cancelled in the afternoon due a strike of the orchestra. When I went to check if it was possible to be reimbursed I found one of the employees of the Theatre who hearing of my misfortune was so kind to let me have a peak of the interiors of the theatre itself considering I wasn’t on the position to reschedule my visit on a different date.Kindness exists, good people exist, we shouldn’t ever be scared or embarrassed to act selfless. You will get some in return here and there. Be sure of it.(PS I am having the best dinner of my stay in the meantime)#bekind #benice #bebrave #beopen #behappy #marianne

VouvrayI am always amazed by the fact that so often world wide appreciated wines come from so tiny places. I think is the sense of place, tradition, hard work, family, respect and care that anyone can feel in the glass when they pop a bottle of this so versatile Chenin Blanc.Merci Celine to welcome me at Champalou!And thank you for suggesting a stop to the boulangerie…le quiches sont tres bonnes!#vouvray #loire #cheninblanc #sparkling #still #offdry #sustainable #terroir #respectful

ChinonThere should have been a reason for me to fall in love with the Cabernet Franc from Chinon. Today thanks to Kavin and Ian at Domaine Charles Joguet I understood why. Great terroir, amazing people and a landscape that can’t leave you indifferent. All of these add deepnees and elegance to the wines. Santè!PSDid you know Chinon was the place where the highest members of the Templars were held captive before the process and the execution and then in the same fortress Jean D’Arc met the French Dauphin for the first time? #chinon #loirevalley #cabernetfranc #cheninblanc #terroir #heritage #history
