Let's spend an hour discussing volcanic wines with winemaker and vignaiolo Pietro Buttitta of Prima Materia Winery and the Ancient Wine Guys. While tasting through wines grown in volcanic climates from Etna, the Canary Islands, and Pietro's own Lake County vineyard just north of Napa, here we discuss the effects of climate, soil types, viticultural practices and winemaking practices in extreme volcanic conditions. For lovers of minerality in wine, this one is for you, and Pietro shares some inside details such as reductive strength and vine biology in these magical terroirs.
