Show notes

Ciao wine geeks ciao!

How was this past week for ya? Over here it was amazing, the sun was shining everyday, evenings are now blessed with more and more daylight - I really do love it whenever it happens. You know, Italy has decided to go on with the daylight saving time and I am really happy about it because it makes me more aware of life in general, other than surprising me every time when at 8 pm the sun is still kinda out glazing the city with the golden light and I'm like 😍😍😍.

But veniamo a noi. Today Mr. Flysch will go back to his favorite subject: soil! And he talks 🌋VoLcAnOs🌋. This episode will make your knowledge erupt, your soil-talking skills will be hot like lava, you'll be spitting out soil facts as if they were lapilli.

This time 백두산, 白頭山 aka Paektu Mountain aka Korean Volcano aka Stevie Kim is not really in the mood at all so she (finally) just listens to the burning words of Scienza. Wel I think il professore is able to make her laugh at the end of the podcast saying something about - you guessed it - Monty and having to say ciao to him.

Riassumendo... It's another good one.

Muzaakal Guest directly from Sri Lanka, let me hear some love... for.... mister H.R. Jothipala!!!!!!! *croud going crazy* go listen open.spotify.com/artist/3gCSGLqfq…OM?autoplay=true

Ep. 535 Daniele Proietti of Abbia Nòva Winery | Monty Interviews Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Italian Wine Podcast episode 535

Monty Waldin has a 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 grand parents 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, that has existed for two thousand years, on volcanic soils, with an 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.

Ep. 534 Paul Quaglini | Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People Mar 28, 2021

Show notes

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.

Paul can be reached at paulq@abcfws.com and make sure to follow him on Twitter @abcwinepaulq

Show notes

Howdy dear wine fans! Here we are, yet another friday here, for a second we were able to enjoy a glimpse of spring but oh well that didn't last long.. But you know what else doesn't last long? Sadly, this episode.. This time it was Scienza's turn to ask a question and oh well did he! Stevie was kind of piss&d 0ff because she felt like the Professore couldn't get her point... I mean, we're talking about Clubhouse, Softwares and Hardwares, Stevie, you can't be this demanding! You yourself said you don't really understand 40% of what the Professore says so for once it could be the same, just from his side...... Well, I'll let you wine qweens and keengs be the judge. Luv ya
