Italian Wine Podcast

Italian Wine Podcast episode 535Monty 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.Visit Abbia Nòva Winery here en.abbianova.com/ or get in touch with them here abbianova@gmail.comFollow Abbia Nòva Winery on Instagram @abbia_novaLet's keep in touch!

Italian Wine Podcast ep. 534: Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People.Steve Raye sits down with Paul QuagliniThere 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 @abcwinepaulqCheck out Bevology inc here bevologyinc.com/Check out Mozzarella e Vino here www.mozzarellaevino.com/Let's keep in touch!
