From my cellar, 2012 Collestefano Verdicchio di Matelica. IWC 94. Pale straw-green. Knockout aromas of quince, pear, white peach and white flowers are complicated by lemony minerality on the vibrant, captivating nose. Rich and broad on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, saturating the mouth with bright, lively floral and fresh citrus flavors that are intensified by penetrating acidity. Finishes extremely long and creamy-rich, expanding to coat the palate and teeth with lingering white peach and floral flavors. The bright acidity conveys an almost weightless mouthfeel to this seamless, rich, extremely concentrated wine. You can tell that owner Fabio Marchionni studied white wine in Germany. This is but one of many outstanding vintages for this wine. Let me be clear: I think it is probably Italy’s single greatest white wine buy. [...] Via Mariano Pallottini

Villa Bucci has become for many, the most famous producer of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, a Verdicchio from a beautiful, gently hilly area in northern Marche (there is another Verdicchio DOC – Verdicchio di Matelica – that is also quite expressive). The classic 2012 version (2012, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, is an excellent vintage for white wines throughout Italy), is a beauty, with aromas of acacia flowers, Bosc pear, jasmine and spearmint (the perfumes of a young, unoaked Verdicchio are irresistible) backed by very good depth of fruit, good persistence and very good acidity. Enjoy this over the next 3-5 years. The Riserva Villa Bucci 2009 is outstanding; matured for two years in older barrels, there is a light creaminess in the aromas that accompany notes of hyacinth and orange blossom – just lovely! Medium-full with excellent concentration, this has outstanding persistence, a long, long finish and lovely finesse. What an outstanding wine! I also tasted three older vintages of this wine: the 2008, 2007 and 2004, each of which was excellent ,with the 2004 offering the greatest complexity, but the 2009 was in my judgment, the finest of all these wines. Look for this wine in a few months, as this continues the ultra impressive track record of this producer with this beautiful wine. [...] Via Mariano Pallottini

This season, along with lighting up homes and Christmas trees, divas can also light up paths with every step they take wearing the LED-studded footwear. The fast-forward fashionable heels from Cesare Paciotti moves past the time-tested crystal-studded variations to illuminate the trend this season. Aptly christened, Absolute Lumiere, brightens up with hundreds of LED bulbs fitted to deep black calfskin leather. These blinky-twinkly heels delightfully come to life with a battery powered switch which is neatly placed under the insole. This gives an option to wear it without the glow too!

Vintner Peter Mondavi can be found behind his office desk at the Charles Krug Winery Monday through Friday, even some weekends, rain or shine. Most working stiffs would say that’s no big deal. But they may not know that the wine family patriarch celebrated his 99th birthday two weeks ago and will be honored by family and friends at a big celebration at his family’s St. Helena winery Saturday night.[...] Discussing his father’s start in the wine business, Mondavi noted that his father immigrated to the United States in the early part of the 20th century, settling in Minnesota as his brother and others from Sassoferrato and surrounding villages of Italy’s Le Marche region had done. When his brother was killed in the collapse of an iron mine, young Cesare Mondavi returned to his native land. Once there, however, he decided he wanted to live in America, and asked a young woman he knew to join him as his bride. Seventeen-year-old Rosa accepted his proposal after her mother indicated it was Rosa’s choice to make. Cesare and his young bride returned to Minnesota mining country, where they opened a saloon and a boardinghouse for miners. Rosa Mondavi “was a youngster when she started cooking,” her son points out, and she was well known in Napa Valley for her culinary talents. For several years, Rosa Mondavi kept house and cooked at least two meals a day for their 15 boarders, while her husband tended bar. Eventually, “he sold the saloon and opened a grocery store,” Mondavi said. “That was when his friends asked him if he could get grapes for them so they could make their own wine. ... It was Prohibition and making your own wine was allowed.” [...] Via Mariano Pallottini

Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard of Ascoli Piceno. “What? Is that some kind of fish?” Well, no, it’s a beautiful city in the Marche. I had heard the name only as a type of Italian wine. Like all cities of any size it has a title; in this case “city of art”. Probably a bunch of cities have that some self designation. It’s major points of interest in the historic center seems to have been built 500-600 years ago although of course the city is much older. The sense of history is ever present in Italy. People live in houses older than our country. Daily life is lived in an environment of great beauty. Of course when living here it must just seem like background. One doesn’t wander around like an awestruck tourist all the time going about one’s daily life. [...] Via Mariano Pallottini

Also this year, in Le Marche, restaurant operators and gourmands have been eagerly awaiting the publication of The Michelin Guide. The annual guide book published by the French company Michelin for more than one hundred years, better known as The Michelin Red Guide, represents the oldest and best-known European hotel and restaurant reference guide. The guide awards Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments and the acquisition or loss of a star can have dramatic effects on the success of a restaurant. This is the reason why the starred restaurant owners and few good candidates anxiously awaited the publishing. Actually the edition 2014 of the guide only confirms what reported in 2013: 2 stars Uliassi - Senigallia AN - wwwMadonnina del Pescatore - Senigallia / Marzocca AN www1 star Andreina - Loreto AN - wwwLe Busche - Montecarotto AN - wwwEmilio - Fermo FM - wwwL’Enoteca - Macerata MC wwwSymposium - Cartoceto PU - wwwIl Piastrino - Pennabilli RN - (not Marche Region)The Bib Gourmand designation denotes good cuisine at a reasonable price in a variety of comfort categories. Defined as “Inspectors’ Favorites for Good Value,”Bib Gourmand restaurants offer two courses and a glass of wine ordessert for $40 or less, and are often of most value to a city’s residents, who regularly dine in neighborhood restaurants.

Elica has welcomed the innovative ideas of Gaetano Pesce that subvert the encoded mode of industrial production. Now available in a diversified edition of 15 pieces numbered and signed by the artist, Pescecappa was created from this philosophy. Pescecappa uses advanced systems, with low noise impact, in compliance with the environmental and social sustainability. The technology is enclosed in hand decorated molded shells in thermosetting resin. Pescecappa is ceiling mounted and, in addition to the extraction and filtering of odours, fumes and vapours from the cooking of food, is equipped with halogen lighting to perfectly illuminate the cooking surface. A hood that becomes sculpture, a new way of experiencing the cooking, designed for an audience that loves contemporary art, design and technology. Via Mariano Pallottini
