Italian Wine: What you need to know living in Italy

How much do you really know about Italian Wine?
Truly there is way too much to cover in just a podcast episode (why I took the entire 2 courses to become an Italian Wine Scholar!) But I love wine, and I love telling people about how amazing Italian wine traditions are, so here’s my introduction for you on wine in Italy.
If you’re an expat in Italy, wine probably has become a part of your daily life, even if you aren’t a drinker, you’ll hear about it everywhere, and you’ll need to gift it eventually, it’s a thing.
So here are some great fun facts for you to whip out and impress your Italian and wine friends. This episode explains the DOCG / DOC system, why Prosecco isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and a few of my own favorite wines.
The course I mentioned: www.wineschola...
Articles about how Prosecco sucks:

My Favorite Wines:
-Franciacorta and Trento DOC
-Ruché
-Francone Barbera d’Alba Superiore or Michele Chiaro Cipressi Barbera
-Pinot Grigio Ramato by Specogna
