I'm embarrassed not to have posted photos from La Dolce Vita's Italian festival sooner so thought I'd slip them on now for your viewing pleasure.
Normally the festival is held at Kensington Olympia but this year they moved it to the Islington Business Centre which was a lot more convenient and looked almost identical inside.
This year was slightly disappointing in that the food stalls were noticeably less numerous with more slick types trying to persuade you that now was the time to invest in a Perugian property development (yeah right!).
However there were some hidden gems and plenty of free tasting on offer. We picked up some soft salami and a few bottles of dessert wine. One was a delicious bottle of Sagrantino di Montefalco Passito sourced by a charming guy who was formerly the finance director of Fiat (not the disgraced former director Francesco Paolo Mattioli who was accused of corruption involving bribes!) It was sweet but not sickly so and a snip at £12 a bottle!
