Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marco Balsimelli
Q: recommend to me the best wines around 15, 20, 25 bucks American.
Marco points to Ornelia's affordable line as a gateway to the brand, specifically an Ornelia-based wine with Cabernet Sauvignon content that remains accessible, with a white wine (Poggio Allegazzi) blending Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc components for value and approachability.
Marco Balsimelli
Q: what's your favorite all-time wine?
He recalls Chateau Margaux 1983 as a watermarked wine tied to his birthday; its elegance and aging potential left a lasting impression, shaping his appreciation for age-worthy, balanced wines.
Marco Balsimelli
Q: what are some of your favorite wine restaurants and/or bars?
He recommends places near the winery in Tuscany with strong wine lists and frequent champagne offerings, including Magona and La Pineta, and notes the appeal of fish-focused venues as well as broader Italian and international options.
Marco Balsimelli
Q: what is your favorite wine and food pairing?
Marco's pairing centers on Nellia Rosso with duck due to the duck's gamey, fatty character and the wine's Mediterranean spice and herb notes, with Nellia Bianco pairing with scallops for a contrasting, bright balance.
Marco Balsimelli
Q: what are you drinking now?
Marco describes a lifestyle shift from Pinot Noir to Bordeaux varieties, then to Barolo, and finally embracing the Nebbiolo family with Barolo and Barbaresco, highlighting a desire for wines with character, freshness, and sense of place.
