Ep. 148 Monty Waldin interviews Valentina Abbona (Marchesi di Barolo Winery) | Discover Italian Regions: Piedmont / Piemonte

In this episode Monty Waldin interviews Valentina Abbona at the Marchesi di Barolo Winery in Barolo, in the heart of the Langhe hills, in Piemonte. In the podcast Valentina and Monty discuss the history of the winery and the wines that they produce, that is, all the typical wines of the area: Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo Langhe, Barolo, and Barbaresco. Valentina also tells Monty about the winery’s 200 year-old wooden vats recently restored in which they age wine. Tune in also to discover wine and food pairings, such as hand-made “Tajarin” pasta with "Fassona" beef ragout and rabbit roast, the latter paired perfectly with Arneis wines.
