I know, I know, I know. You've been waiting for this episode since Monday. It might be because when #Everybodyneedsabitofscienza is out it means it is Friday, but I like to think it is because you are as entertained as I am when listening to the Couple of the Decade Stevie Kim & Attilio Scienza. Don't you love it when he gets scolded by Stevie for tapping the table? Or when he sings and Stevie tries, unsuccessfully, to make him stop? Awwwww. They kinda remind me of my grandparents.. Yes, I said it, I finally said it, now I hope I won't get fired for basically calling them both.. aged? classical? mature? seasoned?

In this podcast, Monty Waldin interviews Danilo Drocco, winemaker at the Nino Negri winery near Sondrio, in the Valtellina valley in Lombardy. Danilo tells Monty all about the Nebbiolo grape, which also goes by the local sobriquet of “Chiavennasca,” and the Valtellina terroir featuring vineyards planted on steep dry-walled terraces which date back to the Roman times (including their single vineyard Sasso Rosso) and winds such as La Breva blowing from Lake Como and contributing to drying the Chiavennasca grapes to make Sforzato. Danilo also talks about the winery which was founded in 1897 and also buys grapes from 200 local small wine growers, thus keeping the local economy alive. Danilo and Monty also discuss Nino Negri’s top wines, Valtellina Superiore and the Sfursat (or Sforzato di Valtellina), as well as the top markets for the winery. Tune in to learn more about local food matches, such as the pizzoccheri pasta and local cheese types Casera and Bitto!
