JULY 2021

AMALFI COAST HEADLANDS DRESSED IN SPRING

















07012021 The hypnotic geometry of the “Giardini del Fuenti“ terraces suddenly appears in the wild landscape of the naturalistic path, skilfully set in the Mediterranean scrub, rich in vine pergolas and citrus groves, in an explosion of flowering berceaux between wisteria and bougainvillea.

07022021 "Capri is coming back different, stronger,” Lorenzo Fornari, the Capri veteran, explained to me.

A test batch of the spirits had just arrived from the distillery, and he dropped a sprig of rosemary into a glass of it before a final taste test.

07032021 Among the best-selling white wines in Italy and absolute queen of the summer, Falanghina really likes everyone and is perfect for accompanying daily meals – especially fish-based – thanks to its versatility and its excellent quality / price ratio. It is a wine with an intense straw yellow color, with a moderately fruity smell and a dry but fresh and slightly acid taste. Often vinified “in purity”, that is with 100% Falanghina grapes.
