Unfiltered Ep 21 The Barolo Boys and The Barolo Bitches

We are joined by Josh Dunning, who is best known for his incredible in-depth posts on Instagram. You can check out the amazing wine he drinks at @wordonthegrapevine

Today’s episode is all about the Nebbiolo grape. We discuss all the different regions you can find Nebbiolo but focus more on Barbaresco and specifically The King of the Region: Barolo. We discuss the differences between Barolo and Barbaresco, focusing on flavours and ageing requirements. Learn all about the different soils, villages and crus of Barolo. We discuss the grape variety itself and why it's so fussy to grow – in fact, we get quite geeky this episode. There is a discussion on Modern V Traditional Barolo, the best vintages and great food pairings. You can learn about some of the top wineries such as Gaja, Guiseppe Rinaldi and Elio Altare.

We are drinking Fontanafredda Serralunga d’Alba Barolo 2014 £39 from @getwineapp and Chiara Boschis Mosconi Barolo 2014 £87 from Cru World Wine.
