Italian wine and Chinese tea share ancient wisdom
La Stoppa is featured on "The Heroic Women of Organic Wine", a new wine list curated by Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, which highlights 22 women shaping the future of sustainable winemaking.
Spanning terroir from Trentino to Sicily, the list showcases producers whose passion and resilience reflect a new chapter in Italian wine. It is available across all Il Ristorante — Niko Romito locations worldwide.
Nicola Turturro, director of the restaurant and bar at Bulgari Hotel Beijing, sees the initiative as a way to present an unfiltered Italian experience. "The culinary philosophy of Chef Romito, paired with wines such as those from La Stoppa, is not adapted to the location but rather elevated by it to create an authentic experience where Italian heritage and Beijing's serene beauty converse in perfect harmony," he says.
Chinese diners, he notes, are increasingly appreciating boutique and organic labels.
"This trend reflects a broader global movement toward environmental awareness, which resonates well with the values of younger generations," he says.
"I want guests to leave with a deeper admiration for both the exceptional wines of Italy and the contributions of women shaping the wine landscape."
