Touched by Fire Italian scarves: 20% discount for Dante members




Touched by Fire is a small company based in Christchurch (New Zealand) by Enrica and Simon Ogden. They say:

"Our ambition is to ignite a passion for exquisite forms, fabrics, textures and colours. Our designs come to life from the experience of a place, a mood or a moment. Some begin as an art work, some from the manipulation of patterns on found objects or images. Each has a unique story to tell while breathing away its own beauty and ephemerality.




All our scarves are conceptualised and designed by Simon Ogden in New Zealand. Once the designs are ready, they are sent to Italy. In Lake Como natural fibres are blended and woven into fabrics that hang softly and best react to natural dyes, bringing the nuances of colour and the details of the design to life. At this point, the printed material travels to Bologna. In Bologna a team of committed artisans cuts, washes and finishes each of our scarves by hand before they journey back to New Zealand

We are happy to offer 20% off on our new range to all the members of the Dante Alighieri as a thank for the love and support shown to us over the last three years. Our scarves can be purchased on line (wearetouchedbyfire.com) and the discount is applied when entering the promocode: CELEBRATE at checkout. Gift vouchers can be purchased online as well and start from $100. They never expires just like our scarves!"

Special offer for Dante members and wine lovers: Italian style Pinot Gris, produced here in New Zealand!


Welcome to our newest Business Friend of Dante: use your Dante membership card and get 10% off Cracroft Chase Vineyard wines!
Salute!


Cracroft Chase Vineyard in Christchurch is a destination for tourists and locals alike. At 15 minutes from the centre of the town, it’s nestled at the foot of the Port Hills, in a cul-de-sac valley that provides an ideal microclimate for growing Pinot Gris grapes.
Alessandro and Wilma Laryn immigrated from Italy in 1996, bought this lovely property, and then established the vineyard on 5 hectares (13 acres) of their land; the winery was built, and eventually after the earthquakes the Cellar Door was opened.



“We prefer to call ourselves an artisan winery, more than a boutique winery; it reflects the artisan attention with which the grapes are grown and handpicked, and how the wine is crafted”.

The summer workers and the harvest pickers are, in true Italian style, neighbours and friends. At the end of each harvest a communal picnic celebrates the season. When the work in the winery is finished, the wine is left in the tanks for at least 8 months before being bottled, and then aged in bottles for at least 3 years before release. Both vineyard and winery are certified sustainable by Sustainable New Zealand Winegrowing.

The two Pinot Gris produced at Cracroft Chase are different in style: Grey Pearl is well suited for lunch, Wood’s Edge is more for dinner. However personal taste can dictate otherwise! Both are dry, mouth filling, and have a long finish. Both have won international awards, including silver medals. They are very genuine, and will easy become a staple of your cellar or fridge!




Dante members can enjoy a 10% discount with Cracroft Chase Vineyard
