Luxurious private food and wine tours through “The New Wine Country.” I’m Piero Pagliardini, a native of Sant’Angelo in Vado, Marche and I will be your guide on these incomparable cultural vacations. I am also a certified sommelier, and the creator and coordinator of these events. I proudly represented high quality wine in Dallas, TX since 2010. During my time here, I’ve noticed that when people ask me where I’m from no one knows Le Marche (pronounced lay markay), yet everyone knows Tuscany. After a few months of trying to explain where Le Marche was, I finally resorted to introducing myself as “the guy from east Tuscany.” Tuscany is beautiful and merits its international fame. If you go to Italy, it’s a must-see, but it’s not the ONLY thing to see. I created these tours to show you the best of Italy – known and unknown. Part of the journey is to show you the depths, culture and secret treasures of my home, Le Marche. Le Marche is home to many little-known jewels. For example, most people associate Italy’s number one delicacy – the precious white truffle— with the northern city of Alba. Not many know about two small towns just a few kilometers apart in Le Marche, Acqualagna and Sant’Angelo in Vado, which have the unique and lucky combination of soil and climate, to produce a large part of the country’s truffles. During the fall, the rich perfume of truffles wafts through the streets of these small villages as they gather and celebrate the harvest. Some master sommeliers might know Le Marche for the amazing white wine Verdicchio, but only a few will know of the Only Smoked Passito in the World!! Even fewer people still will know there is a unique sweet wine, whose recipe dates back to the renaissance (which I proudly represented in Texas). Vino di Viscole is a sweet wine made from a particularly sour cherry called “visciola” and is produced only in certain areas of Le Marche.
Or one of our favorite place Castello della Pieve, the characteristic medieval castle set 550 meters above sea level in the municipal area of Mercatello sul Metauro. In 1301 Dante Alighieri’s exile was decreed from this tiny village. Prepare yourselves for a true Marchigiano meal!.
How I can not mention the city of URBINO!! With its grandiose architecture went up during the Golden age under the Duke "Federico da Montefeltro" today is a "UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE"....
Also the mysterious "The Church of the Dead" in URBANIA...
