Kellerei Bozen Lagrein Pairing with a One Pot Sausage and Farro Dish
It’s amazing how fast the years go by and as I reflect on the anniversary of Vino Travels this month as it has been 12 years since I started my blogging and wine journey . I’ve come a long way and still have a long way to go, but that’s why they call it a journey right?! There is no better way to celebrate my blogiversary than with our Italian Food, Wine & Travel gro up as we celebrate alpine red and white wines of Italy this month . It’s been an educational experience learning and writing alongside many of the writers of this group throughout these 12 years . What’s even better is that the wines that I'm sharing today from Kellerei Bozen were enjoyed amongst many of the members of this wine group since one of the writers, Susannah of Vigneto Communications , invited us to a virtual tasting with the Winery Director , Matthias Messner, to learn all about Kel lerei Bo zen .

Cristina works exclusively with Nebbiolo, which is locally known there as Chiavennasca . Cristina Scarpellini Cristina ’s winery, Tenuta Scerscé (pronounced “shaer-shay), is set in Lombardy’s northernmost part, Valtellina, bordering Switzerland . This landscape is a valley that was carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age with the Adda River that runs east out to Lake Como . Back in 2018 this area was deemed a UNESCO World
