Episode 47 – Alessio Inama, Veneto, Italy
A conversation with Alessio Inama from The Inama Winery in the Veneto region in North Eastern Italy.
Listen to Alessio talking about the Soave Classico, a fantastic wine made from Garganega grapes that portray its Volcanic terroir beautifully. The wine’s journey from mediocracy in the 80’s to starring in wine lists in some of the world’s best restaurants is another subject of discussion.
We hear him talk about the reds, all coming from a hilly region called Colli Berici, further east from Soave, where the grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere, probably the family’s most celebrated red grape.
I hope you enjoy the exploration. Please share this episode and use #inthevineyardwith
