A while ago a friend of mine told me about Fattoria la Vialla.
As it is explained on their website "The La Vialla Farm is a family-run agricultural enterprise, one of the oldest and largest organic-biodynamic farms in this little piece of Chianti".

My friend had purchased their products for years and was so thrilled with them, so on her recommendation I ordered a bottle of wine, some pecorino cheese and some olive oil.
☺
The products were all amazing - particularly the wine - the Casa Conforto Chianti Superiore D.O.C.G. 2010.

To be honest, I am not a big wine drinker. Most of the time I would rather have water, but this wine is really something else. At £6.50 a bottle - including free delivery - you can't argue with that! (You have to order for minimum £75 to get free delivery, but I teamed up with my friend, so no problem reaching £75 between us.) A new case is now in our house and no other wine will do!

To top it all - A few days later I also received in the post a small sample of their new wine as well as a few pieces of biscotti and a mini-bottle of olive oil. I like service like that.

I don't know if they ship to other countries (other than the UK) and what the customs implications might be, but they are easy to contact via the email found on their website to find out.
Apparently, they also have holiday houses for rent on their property.
Perhaps we do another Italian holiday this summer...?

Dette var til å drømme seg bort av..... Skal vise den vinen til Mannen. Det er han som er vinkjenneren i huset, og det en veldig dedikert en... Jeg bare drikker det jeg får servert! Jeg tror nok ikke det er så enkelt å importere vin til Norge, men feriehusene hørtes jo fristende ut. Jeg er forresten akkurat kommet fra biblioteket der jeg har lånt boken du anbefalte under her.
ReplyDeleteJa, jeg innrommer at jeg ikke kjenner til reglene for a importere til Norge, men feriehusene ser bare ut som om det man ser i filmer! :-)
DeleteHaper du liker boken like mye som jeg gjorde!
Ja, nå fikk i hvertfall jeg lyst på et glass vin eller to!!
ReplyDelete- og jeg tar gjerne en tur til Italia også! =)
Slike små bedrifter (tenker jeg det er) - lever jo på "jungeltelegrafen" - så slik "reklame" liker vi å lese - og klart jeg elsker jo alt som er italiensk.....hehehe
ReplyDeleteMoro du hat funnet "din" vin og den var da, italiano :) Salute
Ciao from Bolsena (Italy)
