S1E10 The Boot in 20: Campania, with Susannah Gold

Why does Rose Thomas joke that Italy is "sommelier kryptonite"? Is there hope for wine students staring down this complex country? Of course there is! Enter the new Modo di Bere sub-series The Boot in 20. For each of Italy's 20 wine regions, Rose Thomas asks an expert to bring the map to life. Her guests identify major grapes, wines, soils and microclimates. They tell us stories about each region's history, consider the future in terms of climate change, and share advice about planning a visit! Campania, home to some of Italy's most age-worthy wines, is an excellent place to start the Italian wine journey. Wine Scholar Susannah Gold illuminates the geological and social factors behind Campania's deep commitment to its local grape varieties. Susannah introduces her old friends Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, and Falanghina, along with several rare grape varieties and a couple of vine-training systems that can only be described as living history. Susannah and Rose Thomas share some useful Italian wine law definitions and discuss the volcanic factor in a region where a glass of wine still tells the story of that day in Pompeii in the year 79. The episode concludes with travel advice, from which islands to sail around to which city welcomes the morbid to epic catacombs. Check out Susannah's Vigneto Podcast, where she reviews wine books and talks sustainability. She also has a wonderful wine blog called Avvinare. Susannah is on Instagram @vignetocomms. Susannah offers many different services to wine producers and consumers through her website www.susannahgold.com.
