Orvieto is a clifftop city, a wine region, and a wine culture all its own with a rich history loaded with silly anecdotes. When your host says there's more in a glass of wine than fermented grape juice, she's not kidding, and Orvieto is an excellent example of that.

Celebration is in the air as Beaujolais Nouveau is released each November. However, Vino Novello is released weeks prior. Some would say it's the Italian answer to the Nouveau, but there are some differences. This episode explores Vino Novello, carbonic maceration, as well as the celebrations that showcase the bounties of harvest, including these wines.

Just in time for spooky season we explore a treat of a fine spirit with a tricky past.

Absinthe: what it is, how it behaves in the glass, the deal on wormwood, a brief history, and some thujone theory.

Since we have been all immersed in vino Italiano this season, I thought it would be fun to revisit this episode while I'm , let's just say, out of the cellar this month: Getting Our Grappa On (S10E3)

A deep dive into grappa—the bold Italian spirit made from pomace, with anecdotes on its enduring appeal across centuries .

As summer transitions to harvest season, grappa's rustic, artisanal character resonates with end-of-season flavors.

Originally Released: June 10, 2022

Grappa: Not just for breakfast (you laugh)! This pomace brandy, like many spirits, has ancient roots. With over 130 producers in Italy, some dating back hundreds of years, what is it about this drink made from, oh, I don't know, chunky winemaking leftovers, that is so enchanting and beloved amongst connoisseurs?

Since we're between seasons where we're exploring Italian wine and working our way down Italy's boot, I thought we'd revisit the Rosato episode from way back in Season 1.

Rosato, Italian for rosé wine, it's literally what's in my glass right now. T

I hope you can find a glass of Italian rosé to help you wind down your summer while we take a lovely stroll back through our archives with "Rosato - Wading through the Italian Pink" - Perfect for warm summer evenings: they pair beautifully with al fresco dining, casual sipping, BBQ and friends.

Originally aired Jun 14, 2019

A quick dip into a couple of favorite rosé styles from Italy known as rosato takes us to the deep pink wines of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo.

We also discuss Chiaretto (Bardolino) briefly, and check in on the rosé wine market for some figures and finds.
