The Italian Job

#004 What ever happened to Frascati? and Roma DOC with Ole Udsen and Chiara Iacoponi


Listen Later

This is episode four of The Italian Job, a podcast about Italian wine hosted by wine writer and critic Paul Caputo. Frascati was once one of the UK's favourite everyday drinking wines, but competition from elsewhere and a touch of complacency from growers meant it gradually disappeared from sight. For many new wine drinkers, Frascati is just an obscure name from central Italy, yet it carries plenty of historical weight. Richard Siddle of The  Buyer talks about wine fashions and how trends wax and wane, Ole Udsen reminds us of what is special about Frascati and Chiara Iacoponi introduces us to Roma DOC, a neighbouring appellation that evokes the eternal city.
