videoGiovanni Rosso - A Piedmont Star
The Rosso family have been winegrowers in Serralunga d’Alba for over a century. But in 1996, they decided to produce wine under the Giovanni Rosso label, employing the considerable talent of the son of Giovanni Rosso, Davide Rosso. The superstar winemaker studied in Burgundy at Domaine Jean Grivot and Domaine Denis Mortet which explains the elegant style of the Giovanni Rosso wines, not a word always associated with nebbiolo, at least when it's young. Still, it describes Rosso’s wines to a tee. Davide has eschewed pesticides or herbicides to grow organically and make wines that speak terroir before anything else. We caught up with the winery's International Export Director, Daniele Dellanoce, at the Vancouver International Wine Festival for a quick mini master class on Langhe nebbiolo and the story of Giovanni Rosso, located in the Barolo commune of Serralunga D'Alba.

podcast· 1h 08m· S8E67E67 - Col d'Orcia, Brunello di Montalcino, Italy
For Episode 67, get ready to uncork a truly special episode of Read Between the Wines! Host Pierre Ferland sits down with the charming and insightful Santiago Marone Cinzano of Col d'Orcia , a 10th-generation winemaker with a story as rich and complex as the Brunello di Montalcino his family has perfected for centuries. Santiago spills the secrets of transforming Col d'Orcia into Tuscany's largest organic winery—a "biological oasis" where tradition meets innovation. From their meticulous organic practices to the unique Val d'Orcia terroir, this episode dives deep into what makes Col d'Orcia a beacon of sustainability and quality. But here's the twist: patience isn't just a virtue—it's practically a religion at Col d'Orcia. Santiago reveals La Filosofia della Pazienza (the philosophy of patience), a mindset that turns waiting into an art form, proving that the best things in life—like a perfectly aged Brunello—are worth the wait. Whether you're a Brunello aficionado or simply love a gre

podcast· 45:45· Ep 70IWP Ep70 Charbono in California - Historical Episode
Historical Episode IWP Ep70 Charbono in California. Today we’ll be discussing the Charbono grape. It was planted early in California’s viticultural history and abundantly. It’s worth mentioning that soon after, plantings were being tried of every grape any grower could lay their hands on. We’re kind of picking up the story once people started studying a wide range of the plantings and finding how all the options fit together, what grapes should stand on their own, which could blend well with others, which viticultural areas grew each variety the best.

podcast· 48:21· S6E9Lessons in Wine Chemistry
Why does wine taste the way it does? Why does Cabernet smell like blackcurrant? Or Syrah like pepper? Or Beaujolais like...bananas?! In this intriguing show our genial, white-coated guide is wine chemist and sensory scientist Gus Zhu, the first Chinese Master of Wine. As he says, 'Behind every glass of wine, there is science.' In terms of chemistry, wine is one of the most complex solutions on the planet. Not only that, but human senses are notoriously complicated and variable. It all makes answering the question of why wine tastes the way it does...quite tricky. But do not fear - there's plenty to learn and enjoy in this episode, and we touch on things as varied as flowers, cigarettes, farting, petrol, AI, soap, saliva, whisky, urine and strawberry-flavoured yoghurt.
