Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

While Prosecco has long been a dominant force in the marketplace, Italy produces a vast range of sparkling wine including Spumante. David Kohl had the pleasure of tasting a crisp + citrusy Spumante with notes of honeycomb, orange blossom & ginger known as “ Olmo” upon meeting Antonio Fontana who now runs his family’s historic wine estate Tenuta Fontana, nearby to Napoli in Southern Italy. Produced from the regional native grape Asprinio, “Olmo” is named for the lush elm trees that grow along the vineyard. #wine #winepodcast #spumante #sparklingwine #tenutafontana #italianwineregions #campaniawine
