Piemonte is one of my favorite wine regions in Italy… well I love and appreciate all Italian wines in general lol but I do tend to drink a lot from this region. I open up a white wine made from the Cortese grape varietal which is produced in the town of Gavi (southeast of Torino).

I also happened to film this episode an hour before the Copa America finals so naturally I get into my game predictions on who will win. I also talk about the crazy Euro Cup final that took place earlier that day. I love it when I combine two of my favorite things… soccer and wine.

Overall, you will hear about the design of the bottle, where the wine is from, what “mid-palate” means and of course dive into the world of soccer for a bit. This is by far one of my favorite go to white wines that never disappoints.

I hope you get to try this wine, I promise this one is worth it!
