Best Chef China

Coincidences …in life there are never too few.  Encounters fortuitous and in fortunate,

So a happy coincidence encountering a woman in the square where I bring my dog Maribò for walks who invites me to participate, last minute, and really incredible at the same event, a young woman present to present, from my High School Visconti where we shared hours of catechism together! So I found myself on my way to the Boscolo Hotel in Milan with 30 bottles of our Chianti Classico Riserva 2008 on board.

Well, what was going on exactly?

During the evening at the Hotel the filming of
“Greatest Chef China-Italy Edition, Salvatore Tassa vs. Xu Zhao”. It was a television program of Excellent Chefing on air on CCTV, Chinese State television with a mean audience of 25 million viewers.

An infinite quantity of ingredients that the two chefs fought over and robbed from one another; three round of four plates each; a varied audience of bloggers passionate foodies and curious onlookers, (I was in the last category) all who were assumed to vote each round for their favorite two dishes. Well in the end a winner, a loser and a whole lot of laughs. 

It goes without saying that on our side our Italian Chef, who had gained a tie, made his point and won even… without salt!!!

A fantastic evening, fun and stimulating…lots of new people, who now know Petroio and my particular reality with in a brief space of time

A fantastic evening, entertaining and stimulating... and in a very short time 20 million people will be seeing our label on their television screen.

I did say 20 million.....Right!

    From the time that I took over managing the Family Wine Estate, I have literally and physically moved to Petroio in order to follow carefully and passionately, first hand, hands on,  all the multiple phases of the business. I grew up in Rome and in 2008 had literally no idea what was in store for me.
    I learned to know the plants that provide us with our Chianti Classico.  Obviously I had no clue how to execute a pumping over or how to make a blend, but I learned that as well. I have immersed myself in every phase of the business, both productively and commercially, learning from my mistakes and from the experience and know-how of those around me.
    Thus I’ll tell my story, my “Days at Petroio” in this blog; every day different, every day stimulating. I’ll share the beauty of these places that are my daily home in the photos.
    I’ll tell about life in the country, the many encounters that the world of wine allows one to make and enjoy, my activity as the regional (Tuscan) delegate in the group of Women in Wine and my fast growing interest and work with the young people in ANGA (National Association of Young Agriculturists).
