THE ICE BUCKET: A LITTLE SOMMELIER’S SECRET

**e_exports_italy



Chilling a bottle correctly is part of the art of w**e service. Yet one common mistake is using ice alone.

For a faster and more effective chill, try this simple professional method:
• Ice + water — Fill the bucket halfway with ice, then add cold water until it covers around ¾ of the bottle.

• Why does it work? — Water completely surrounds the glass and transfers cold much more efficiently than the air trapped between the ice cubes.
• The sommelier’s trick — Add 2–3 tablespoons of coarse salt. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing the mixture to reach below 0°C and accelerating the chilling process.

• Faster chilling — In around 10–15 minutes, the bottle can be ready for service.

• The elegant finishing touch — Place a cloth napkin over the edge of the bucket to dry the bottle before pouring, avoiding drops on the table or around the glass.

• The golden rule — In w**e, it is often the smallest details that make the difference. Temperature, presentation and service all contribute to revealing the w**e at its very best.

A simple gesture. A more refined service. A better w**e experience.

冰桶：侍酒师的小秘诀
正确地冰镇一瓶葡萄酒，是专业侍酒艺术的一部分。但很多人都会犯一个常见的错误：只使用冰块。
想让酒瓶更快速、更有效地降温，可以尝试这个专业方法：
• 冰块 + 水 — 先将冰桶装一半冰块，再加入冷水，让水覆盖酒瓶约四分之三。
• 为什么更有效？ — 水可以完全包裹瓶身，比冰块之间的空气更有效地传递冷量。
• 侍酒师的小秘诀 — 加入2–3汤匙粗盐。盐可以降低水的冰点，使冰水混合物达到0°C以下，从而进一步加快降温过程。
• 更快速的冰镇 — 大约 10–15分钟，酒瓶即可准备好进行侍酒。
• 优雅的细节 — 在冰桶边缘放一条布巾，倒酒前擦干瓶身，避免水滴落在桌布或酒杯周围。
• 黄金法则 — 在葡萄酒的世界里，往往是细节决定品质。温度、呈现方式与侍酒服务，都有助于让葡萄酒展现最佳的香气与优雅。
一个简单的动作，更精致的服务，更美好的品酒体验。
你知道这个侍酒师的小秘诀吗？

🍷 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
The Identity of Abruzzo in a Glass

For Asian w**e importers, distributors and sommeliers looking for authentic Italian w**es, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo deserves serious attention.

It is not simply one of Italy’s best-known red w**es — it is the flagship red w**e of Abruzzo, deeply connected to the region’s vineyards, culture and cuisine.

🔴 Four reasons to look at Montepulciano d’Abruzzo:

• Strong regional identity — A genuine expression of Abruzzo, shaped by the Adriatic and Apennine landscapes.

• Rich and approachable — Deep ruby colour, ripe cherry, black cherry and plum, with balanced acidity and soft tannins.

• Excellent versatility — From fresh, youthful w**es to more structured Riserva styles, offering different options for restaurants and w**e lists.

• A natural food w**e — Its fruit, structure and acidity make it ideal with meat, pasta, grilled dishes and many Asian flavours.

🍽️ Two classic Abruzzo pairings:

🇮🇹 Arrosticini — Traditional grilled sheep skewers, whose smoky, savoury character works beautifully with Montepulciano.

🇮🇹 Chitarrine alla Teramana con polpettine — Handmade Abruzzese pasta with small meatballs and tomato sauce, perfectly matched by the w**e’s fruit and acidity.

For sommeliers, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo offers authenticity, versatility and excellent gastronomic potential.

For Asian importers and distributors, it offers an opportunity to introduce consumers to a distinctive Italian region with a strong identity and a story beyond the bottle.

Abruzzo has a voice. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is one of its strongest. 🍷

🍷 BREAKING NEWS FROM falezze W**ERY 🍷

After many years of making our w**es, Falezze has a new story to tell.

We are delighted to introduce SQARZEGO our brand-new Ripasso, born this year from the same w**ery, the same passion and the same w**emaking experience — but from a different terroir, with its own personality and character.

And behind every great Ripasso, there is a beautiful connection with Amarone:

🍇 Carefully selected grapes and the traditional appassimento process give Amarone its remarkable concentration and character.

🍷 After fermentation, the w**e is given time to develop its depth, aromas and structure.

❤️ The Ripasso is then given a second life through contact with Amarone grape skins, gaining richness, softness and complexity.

🕰️ Time does the rest — careful ageing allows the w**e to become elegant, warm and beautifully balanced.

Sguardo Sego is our new expression of this tradition.

Same family.
Same w**ery.
Same w**emaking soul.

A different terroir. A new story. A new w**e. ❤️

And perhaps most importantly, Sguardo Sego is beautifully affordable — a w**e to enjoy not only on special occasions, but as an elegant Ripasso for everyday pleasure.

We cannot wait to share this new w**e with w**e lovers around the world — and especially with our friends and partners in Asia.

RED W**E WITH FISH? ABSOLUTELY.

Let’s forget the old rule: “White w**e with fish, red w**e with meat.”

W**e pairing is about balance — acidity, body, texture, tannin and the way the fish is prepared.

Here are three red w**e pairings worth trying:

🍷 Seared Tuna + Pinot Noir
Firm, meaty tuna works beautifully with a fresh, elegant Pinot Noir with restrained tannins.

🍷 Grilled Salmon + Valpolicella
The richness of salmon pairs surprisingly well with a fresh, low-tannin Valpolicella. Try it slightly chilled.

🍷 Fish & Seafood Stew + Beaujolais
Juicy, fresh Gamay can be excellent with tomato-based fish stews, herbs and seafood.

The real question isn't red or white?

Ask instead: How is the fish cooked? What sauce accompanies it? And how intense is the dish?

That's where the art of w**e pairing begins.

Sometimes, breaking the rules creates the most memorable pairing.

🍷 THE ART OF MAKING AMARONE — WHEN THE GRAPE IS TRANSFORMED BY TIME

What if I told you that one of the secrets behind Amarone begins before the w**e is even made?

In Valpolicella, carefully selected grapes undergo appassimento — a slow, natural drying process that transforms the fruit.

As the grapes gradually lose water, their flavours, aromas and natural concentration become intensified, creating greater depth, richness and complexity.

But appassimento is not simply about drying grapes. Temperature, humidity, ventilation and timing must be carefully controlled to preserve the perfect balance between concentration and freshness.

The result is a w**e that is powerful yet elegant, rich yet balanced, and intensely complex.

This is why Amarone is so much more than a full-bodied red w**e.

It is the result of grapes, patience, tradition and time working together.

🍷 Are you a lover of powerful, full-bodied w**es, or do you prefer fresher, more vibrant reds?

Please comment so we can start a conversation.

Don’t let a number define a w**e.

A great w**e is not created by a score. It is created by a story, a place, and the dedication behind every bottle.

W**e is shaped by many elements that cannot always be measured:

• Indigenous yeast — the natural microorganisms living on the grapes and in the cellar that guide fermentation, contributing character, authenticity, and a true expression of place.

• Terroir and location — the soil, climate, altitude, exposure, and unique conditions of a vineyard that give a w**e its identity.

• Micro-location — the personality of a single vineyard parcel, where even small differences in soil, sunlight, and conditions can influence complexity and character.

• The vineyard itself — the age of the vines, the care of the land, and the countless decisions made throughout each growing season.

• Human passion and craftsmanship — the dedication, patience, and love that growers and w**emakers bring to their work every single day.

W**e is a living thing. It is born from nature, shaped by human hands, and continues to evolve with time. Like a story, it grows, develops, and reveals new layers of character, complexity, and emotion as the years pass.

A great w**e is not simply tasted — it is understood.

It carries the memory of the vineyard, the spirit of the people who created it, and the soul of its origin.

Don’t let a number define a w**e.

A number is only one person’s opinion at one moment in time. It cannot represent every person’s experience, understanding, or connection with a w**e.

Because w**e is more than a score. W**e is a journey, a place, and a story waiting to be discovered.

Tullum DOCG

W**es rooted in the foundations of history since Roman times, entrenched in the heart of a territory celebrated by the Tullum DOCG. W**es that have built their essence by digging their way into the soil, by breathing in the microclimate, by listening to the echo of past tradition, just to finally achieve their unquestionable quality.

W**e Knowledge: What You Should Know 🍷

Still think that the more “legs” a w**e has, the better the quality? I might have to break your heart. 😅

When you see those beautiful droplets slowly running down the sides of your glass, you’re not looking at a quality indicator — you’re seeing a fascinating physics phenomenon called the Marangoni Effect. 🧠

In simple terms:

• Alcohol evaporates faster than water, changing the surface tension of the w**e and creating those famous “tears” or “legs”.

• The more pronounced the legs are, the more they can indicate a higher alcohol content or higher residual sugar level.
• They do not tell you the quality of the w**e.

So next time you swirl your glass, remember: the story of a w**e is found in its vineyard, w**emaking, balance and character — not just in the tears on the glass.

Did you already know this, or were you trusting the old legend of the amateur sommelier? 😄

Have you ever wondered why most w**e bottles are dark green, brown or even black? 🍷

It isn't just about appearance. Dark glass plays an important role in protecting the w**e.
Why does it matter?
• ☀️ It helps shield the w**e from harmful UV rays.
• 🍷 It reduces the risk of the w**e becoming light-struck, which can damage its aromas and flavours.
• 🕶️ It preserves freshness, character and ageing potential.
• 🍾 Clear bottles are usually reserved for white and rosé w**es that are intended to be enjoyed while young.
Think of a dark w**e bottle as a pair of sunglasses for the w**e. It protects what's inside, helping to preserve the quality from the w**ery to your glass.
Did you already know this, or do you usually choose a bottle by its label? I'd love to hear your thoughts. 👇

The Essence of Tradition:

The Craft and Evolution of Grappa

Grappa isn't just a spirit; it’s a masterclass in Italian zero-waste tradition. Transforming leftover grape skins, seeds, and stems (vinaccia) from w**emaking into a refined, high-proof masterpiece.

The Craft:

The Raw Material: Sourced from pressed pomace—like Amarone in Valpolicella—packed with rich aromas and flavor.

Distillation: Distilled in copper stills to separate harsh alcohols, capturing only the pure, aromatic "heart."

Rest & Age: Enjoyed crystal-clear and fruit-forward as Giovane, or mellowed in wooden barrels to rich, golden amber perfection as Invecchiata.
