GUESS THE WINE We had a great time last night @largajristorante for @semraferden BDay. We started off with bubbles from Piemonte, vintage 2005. Any idea of which? Try and guess the grape!! 🍇 #oneonthehill #argaj #semrasbday (at Ristorante L'Argaj)

ODE TO A GERMAN GRAPE A couple of nights ago we inaugurated this fun blind tasting format with a couple of wine friends on our Terrazza su Alba. The temperature was perfect, there was plenty of food and numerous bagged bottles of wine. Matteo @langaroundalba brought this spectacular Trocken Riesling by Sybille Kuntz wrapped in aluminum foil: 12% alcohol, very high acidity (just how I like it), nice and refreshing. Do you think I was able to blind taste it? In the picture, a few hints about the main wine descriptors. #oneonthehill #riesling #isforever (at Alba, Italy)

1966 QUINTARELLI AMARONE 🍷 Some nights you are out of rosé and suddenly come to the conclusion that the best bottle to drink is Quintarelli’s Amarone 1966. How do you think it was? 😎 #oneonthehill #quintarelligiuseppe #wineclub (at Alba, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmDns7OBZrx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13f4lgmkl7mpg

MEDIA SURVEY We had a lot of fun with the Swedish gang last week, a full day with wine tour and dinner at a private location. 🇸🇪🍽🍷 A chef and a Sommelier creating the best possible set up, pretty much the ultimate Langhe experience. Cool, right? We even shot a little video that we’ll be available soon 🎬 Media survey: If you wanted to book such an experience? Where would you look? Who would you ask? Tag someone who might enjoy this in the US, we might surprise you and take a little tour next year! #oneonthehill #langaroundalba #privateexperience (at Alba, Italy)

Have you ever considered how challenging the wine business is? Growers and producers tend to the vineyard for the whole year, and the fruit is so delicate and so dependent on the weather condition, which in some cases might not be ideal, as you can see in the picture. On top on that, some wines like Barolo and Barbaresco need to sit in barrel for up to 5 years, which means 5 years before selling your product 😱😨😱 What’s your Saturday wine going to be? Drink it with respect, and try to imagine every single step that was necessary to bring that bottle to your table 🙏🍷🙏🍷 #oneonthehill #vines #grapes (at Roddino)

TUESDAY CHALLENGE - we are traveling! 🚗🚃✈️ Where are we? Read the story and provide your best answer! A long time ago two cities where contending a territory now famous for its wine, the fight was so long and harsh that they decided to divide the land in a pretty bizarre way: two knights would leave from the cities at the first sing of a rooster. One knight choose a white rooster while the other was black. The black rooster was kept in a cage for days with no food. Freed at the first light, it immediately started singing, so that the knight could win most of the land. Still today, the two provinces are divided by the same border. #oneonthehill #travel #gallonero
