Postcards from

In this category I collect my snapshots of places, feelings and people. Like postcards that I decide to send myself so as not to forget. I love travelling, savouring, knowing. I love discovering new things. I love listening to the stories of the elderly as well as the teachings of a professional. I love being carried away by unpredictable combinations, street food, fish markets. I love kissing my husband after getting lost in the hidden streets of our umpteenth romantic weekend, always as if it were our first date. That's what "Postcards from..." is all about. ❤️

Upper Piedmont: Castellengo Experience

Upper Piedmont: Castellengo Experience

Do you know why I chose to write only on my wine blog? Because the blog is, by definition, an online diary and for this reason the narration cannot be delegated to third parties. That is why my blog times are my own and why there is no regular frequency of articles. In fact, I...

Lisbon: Bacalhau a Braz and Vinho Verde in the heart of Alfama

If I had been told just a week ago, I would never have imagined writing an article dedicated to 'Bacalhau a Braz' from the Copenhagen Coffee Lab in Lisbon. I have to say that I have the good fortune of a special best friend, who is aware of the heavy year I am having...

Vinho do Porto: travelling through the secrets of Venus!

I decided to 'dust off' this report I did in 2012 for another magazine... because Port is a wine that is very close to my heart! In this article I want to shed some light on the intricate world of Port wines, which, guess what, are not only Ruby and not produced by...

Slow Food: Caviar, Sturgeon and Ferrara Tradition

What I like about Andrea is that he starts at 8:14 a.m. on a Friday morning with a message on whatsapp saying: 'Hi dear, plans for tonight? Would you like a sturgeon dinner, caviar included? Organise Slow Food Ferrara'. And now you tell me......
