1. December - Luisa Soldati

Piedmont - Gavi dei Gavi d'Antan

When we arrived in Verona for the 2017 edition of the Vinitaly Expo, we immediately realized that Sunday would have been pleasantly demanding. Overwhelmed and transported by a river of visitors, we managed to enter in the early afternoon. We had promised to visit at least one winegrower by region. The mission, titanic, but every single meeting made was precious and full of inspiration. The meeting that I remember with greater vivacity is that with Mrs. Luisa Soldati of the La Scolca Company, Piedmont. We sat with her to taste fantastic sparkling wines and whites. He told us that their business comes from a passion for the territory of Gavi and the love for the vineyard. They give a lot of value to the work in the countryside and think that it is necessary to transmit this value to the new generations, who must understand the value of hard agricultural work to better understand the art of production. These values ​​are exactly those that motivate us to write about the work that women put into viticulture. An encounter that brought us almost to tears. The wine we have selected is Gavi dei Gavi d'Antan.

Perfect to drink at warm temperature. It will be a nice food pairing with a "velouté" (creamy soup), together will be like a romantic poetry. Art pairing we choosed "Girl with a peal earring by Johannes Vermeer Mrs. Soldati favorite. "
