Just over 50 years ago, Montalcino’s greatest export was wood. Today it is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. Jeff explores the region, its food & gets on a horse.
Jeff has traveled over 10,000 miles across Italy in search of a better understanding of Italy’s people through what they drink. In his last trip we are back in Piedmonte to explore what was once the most prosperous city in the region, Asti, and its amazing historic grape Barbera.
Jeff finds himself in Verona, the home of Romeo & Juliet, to learn the ins and outs of one of Italy’s most famous red wines: Amarone. Along the way Jeff is raced up a mountain, has to eat some horses & learns the way of café culture.
