S4 Ep 541Ep. 541 Stephanie Biondi | Voices

Italian Wine Podcast episode 541 Rebecca Lawrence sits down with Stephanie Biondi in this new episode of "Voices", the segment where we shed light on some of the less-discussed issues in the wine world. Stephanie Biondi of the Biondi Winery: Although the winery was established at the end of the 19th Century, the Biondi family have owned the vineyards since the 1600s. Maximum production was reached during the period between the two World Wars, Since 1999, Stephanie and husband Ciro have taken over both the upkeep of the vineyards and the winemaking. They have succeeded in restoring the 6 hectares owned by the family, leading to the birth of Outis and the production of high-quality wines, whilst rediscovering the enormous potential of the volcanic ‘terroir’ and its indigenous grape varietals. The three terraced vineyards which make up the 6 hectares are planted with traditional Albarello vines on the South-East facing slopes of Mount Etna, in the comune of Trecastagni, approximately 18 km from Catania. Vigna Chianta lies at an altitude of between 600 to 700 m.a.s.l. on a crater dating back to 125 BC and while there are still some old Nerello vines, the white grape varietals Carricante, Catarrato and Minella make up most of the production. Vigna Cisterna Fuori planted on the same crater, but with a different aspect, produces predominantly Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio. Last, but by no means least, Vigna San Nicolò lies on a crater dating back 12,000 years and produces exclusively Nerello.

S4 Ep 540Ep. 540 Daniele Proietti of Abbia Nòva Winery Part 2 | Monty Interviews

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 540 Part 2 Monty Waldin continues his chat with Daniele Proietti, of Abbia Nòva Winery, to know more about their natural agricultural approach. We come from humble farming families. We have a natural agricultural approach, often quite personal, in constant flux, that reflects who we are: a fusion of local traditions and of something that is deeply cultural, that we’ve built from the teachings and influences of the many natural methods that we’ve experimented through the years. Maybe because our grandparents handed over their hoe to our right hand and a metaphorical library to the other, that we’ve used to deepen the various agricultural approaches, treasure them and fuse them with our own. That hoe represents the viticultural tradition of Piglio, which has existed for two thousand years, on volcanic soils, with obsessive care for plants and vineyards that have always coexisted with gardens, fruit trees and animals. Our cellar is a small country house in the mountains, on the consular Roman road that took from Lazio to Abruzzo, two rooms with amphoras, concrete, wood and demijohn glass jugs. Our only tools, coordinated only by our heads and hands.

S4 Ep 534Ep. 534 Paul Quaglini | Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People

Italian Wine Podcast ep. 534: Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People. Steve Raye sits down with Paul Quaglini There are reviews for geeks, and then there are reviews for the rest of the world,” said Paul Quaglini when asked if he believed in giving wines a numeric rating (the verdict: they’re a “necessary evil”). Paul is ABC’s wine supervisor covering the country of Italy who believes that people generally get too caught up in finding the perfect wine. “If you like it, it’s good wine. Your palate is the most important judge,” explained Paul. His palate’s favorite: Italian Sangiovese. If he had the option, Paul would love to host a dinner party at his house with special guests Piero Antinori, Abe Lincoln and Antonio Galloni, while serving Sangiovese, of course. Paul has had the pleasure of visiting Italy, most frequently the Tuscany area, about a dozen times and considers it to be his favorite travel destination. He loves to travel, but notes that if you’re not too into wine, “the trips would be grueling.” Incidents such as losing luggage or a delayed flight are merely minor hiccups to Paul. “You have to roll with the punches when you travel. Those are just inconveniences that become part of the story.

Hi. I've been thinking about this little space that i cut out for myself and myself only each friday. I tell you so much about my life, and yes sometimes I overshare my thoughts and it gets messy, but I enjoy doing it.. But yeah I was thinking... Do these people ACTUALLY know who is speaking here is this lil box? Well, let me fix that. Just in the same way that Prof. Scienza wants to go deep in the italian soils, I feel like I should do the same. In this episode especially, he talks about central Italy, the core of il Belpaese, while I try to work on my core 2 or 3 times per week with no results #sad. Scienza talks about seas, lakes and rivers, while the rivers i see are just the ones i cry (cit. Justin Timberlake, Cry me a River, one of the best masterpieces ever created.) Scienza goes on and on about minerality and I have to say I've been at my rock bottom so many times that I start to get what Scienza is saying. Il Professore said something that shook me: he said that even the soil material found on the mountains is sometimes been dragged by the sea. #GOALS. A buon intenditor. BYE.
