Cantina dei vini
She was the first Sommelière in Ticino and has significantly helped to develop the wine scene in the southern canton and to bring it to today’s high level. Her passion is not only for cuisine, but also for wine. In the cellar of Agnese there are wonderful wines, rare vintages and trouvaillas, which are only available in the Stazione in Intragna.
The focus in Agnese´s Weinkeller is on Ticino, where excellent Merlots and assemblages are now produced by talented winemakers. As Agnese always says:
„Life is too short
to drink bad wine.“
