    The Slow Food Movement, which promotes regional cooking and traditions, began in Italy. Southern Italy’s food heritage comes from cucina povera (peasant cooking) and uses whatever was locally available: sun-ripened vegetables and fruit, wheat for dried pastas and regional cheeses.

        This 18th century method uses a special heated metal tong which, when applied to the neck of the bottle, breaks the glass cleanly with a soft clinking sound because of the sudden and extreme change of temperature. This is done without disturbing the cork, allowing you to enjoy the most iconic wine bottles of our collection.
