André was looking for a starting point as a Barolo-curious drinker concerned about tannins and long aging. At the Liberty Grand, they taste through producers and interview Salvatore from Reva Winery about crafting youthful, fruit-forward Nebbiolo and why they don’t recommend decanting. Pietro Ratti explains Barolo’s vineyard mapping history, the MGA system (170 MGAs plus 11 villages), and how to learn the region by starting with vintage, then village, then single-vineyard wines. Bersano discusses modernizing Piedmont wines for drinkability and how climate change is affecting Barolo styles and accessibility. Back home, they praise the approachability and value of Reva’s 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo and 2021 Barolo.</p><p><br></p><p>Wines tasted were from </p><p><a href=\"https://www.revawinery.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reva Winery - https://www.revawinery.com/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.borgogno.com/en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Borgogno - https://www.borgogno.com/en/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ratti.com/en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Catina Ratti - https://www.ratti.com/en/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.bersano.it/en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bersano - https://www.bersano.it/en/</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.npwines.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">With thanks to Nicholas Pearce for providing wines from Reva for the episode - https://www.npwines.com/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://predhomme.ca/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">With thanks to Will Predhomme for hosting this fantastic event - https://predhomme.ca/</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>You can support us on Patreon here - <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/2guystalkingwine\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/2guystalkingwine</a> ... $5/month members NOW get exclusive content.
