One of Sicily's ancient autochthonous grape varieties - Ansonica or Insolia - from one of Sicily's flagship wineries - Firriato. Founded by Salvatore di Gaetano in the early 1980s and has since grown to include outstanding vineyards.

The Italian region of Apulia (Puglia) with its capital Bari is located deep in the south on the Adriatic coast. The elongated region consists of the spur (the Gargano Mountains) and the heel (the Salento Peninsula) of the boot. The area is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world, as the Phoenicians and Greeks planted vines here 3,000 years ago. The Romans particularly valued the wine from Tarentum (port city of Taranto) and the poet Horace (65-8 BC) described this area as a place of “eternal spring”. In contrast to the other southern regions, there are hardly any mountains, but the landscape consists of plateaus and flatlands. The climate is dry and hot with little rainfall, so artificial irrigation is sometimes necessary. The soils consist primarily of limestone, clay and sandstone. Puglia has the most grape varieties in southern Italy, around 80 percent of which are red. Many of them are autochthonous - these have been particularly cared for and cultivated in recent years.

The red grape variety Dolcetto was probably cultivated in the Italian regions of Liguria and Piedmont as early as the 14th century. It was described as "Dosset" by a Count Nuvolone in the 18th century. As late as the 1960s, the wine reached prices comparable to Barolo or Barbaresco. The name Dolcetto means "little sweet one" and refers to the sweet grapes; the wine itself is a classic, dry red wine. There are numerous varieties that have developed differently locally due to soil and climate.

The classical dry red wine comes from the Barolo DOC in Northern Italy, the most important wine region of Piedmont. Prior to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. The fact that the Nebbiolo grape ripens late in October meant that temperatures would be steadily dropping by harvest. By November and December, temperatures in the Piedmont region would be cold enough to halt fermentation, leaving a significant amount of residual sugar left in the wine. In the mid-19th century the French enologist Louis Oudart improve the winemaking techniques of the local producers. Using techniques focusing on improving the hygiene of the cellar, Oudart was able to ferment the Nebbiolo must completely dry, making the first modern Barolo. This new, dry red wine soon became a favorite among the nobility of Turin and the ruling House of Savoy, giving rise to the popular description of Barolo as the wine of kings, the king of wines.

Probably the most famous and well-known DO in Spain has a very old winemaking history. Numerous fermentation tanks carved into stone have been preserved, which testify to viticulture in ancient times. The efforts to ensure designation of origin and exquisite quality have a very long tradition. As early as 1560, winemakers decided to create a uniform brand for their barrels in order to guarantee the identity of the wines from this area. In 1635, the mayor of Logroño even banned the movement of carts through streets where wine cellars were located. This was done out of concern that vibrations caused by vehicles could spoil the grape must and thus affect the ripening process of the wines.
The first written reference to quality control and wine guarantees dates back to 1650. In 1787, the “Real Sociedad Económica de Cosecheros de Rioja” (Royal Economic Association of Rioja Winegrowers) was founded with the aim of promoting viticulture, winemaking and wine trade.

Michel Laroche produces an aromatically expressive, complex Chablis from very old vines.

The Chablis wine-growing region is the northernmost of the wine-growing regions of the Burgundy region. The name was very well known, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, and at that time was considered a synonym for a dry white wine. Chablis is almost equidistant from Champagne, from Sancerre on the Loire and from the nearest Burgundy locations on the Côte d'Or. The cool wine-growing climate gives the Chardonnay a pronounced acidity, which the winemaker usually leaves in the wine in favor of the fruitiness. The wines are therefore mostly matured in stainless steel tanks and do not go through malolactic fermentation. The steely acidity, which is strongly determined by the comparatively high proportion of malic acid, is one of the hallmarks of Chablis and gives the white wine a remarkable longevity.

Hermitage is one of the famous Grand Cru on the Côte du Rhône. The very elegant Syrah offers dark berry, spicy aromas with strong tannins and is very long-lasting.

The Hermitage Hill was formed in the Ice Age when the Rhône broke through this eastern extension of the Massif Central following a rapid fall in sea level. Despite its small size, the Hermitage is geologically very diverse. In the highest, western part, the soil consists of granite, which weathers into fine clay. The eastern, larger part of the slope, on the other hand, is formed in the middle by rubble made of sand and limestone that the Rhône had transported from the Alps. At the foot of the slope there are younger sediments from the Würme Ice Age. The highest points are again covered with loess. To protect the thin layers of soil from slipping, walls made of limestone were built. The name of the extremely long-lasting red wine Hermitage goes back to a hermitage founded in 1224 (Hermitage = hermit).
