JACOPO COSSATER  🍷🛋

This week we are honored to have as our guest Jacopo Cossater, wine writer for the biggest wine blog in Italy, Intravino, on the show to discuss the Italian wine region he calls home: Umbria.  Umbria is the 4th smallest wine producing region of Italy, but its wines are exquisite and unlike anything else you'll ever have. Here are the show notes: 1. First we discuss where Umbria is and what it is:  Only Italian region without coastline nor international border –  Lush, rolling hills, hilltop villages Between Tuscany, Marche, and Lazio Whites and reds are important here and quality on the rise   2. We talk about the wines:    Orvieto   In southern Umbria, 80 miles north of Rome Volcanic and tufa soils Common Grapes:  Trebbiano Tocscano (Ugni Blanc) Grechetto: Finer wine, good for structure Malvasia: Floral, effusive aromatics   Orvieto DOC: Can be lesser quality, better to seek out Orvieto Classico DOC Lago di Corbara DOC    Torgiano  Located south of Perugia Common Grapes: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo (sometimes bottled as a varietal here) Rosso di Torgiano DOC: Sangiovese, Canaiolo Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG: The first wine to gain DOC (and later DOCG) status in Umbria: 50–70% Sangiovese, 15–30% Canaiolo, up to 15% other grapes like Ciliegiolo or Montepulciano. Recommended Producers: Cantine Lungarotti.  Torgiano is home to Italy’s most important wine museum, Museo del Vino    Montefalco (Sagrantino and Rosso di Montefalco)  30 miles southeast of Perugia. Set up well for tourism and visiting  Sagrantino  Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG:  ageworthy red wines  Required to be at least 95% Sagrantino, the wines must be aged for 30 months; at least 12 of those months in oak barrels Tannic, big wine. Used to be used for sacramental purposes Responsible for the revolution in Umbrian reds Pricey, but one worth holding   Rosso di Montefalco: Sangiovese based red with a touch of Sagrantino  60–70% Sangiovese, 10–15% Sagrantino and 15–30% other grapes, often Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Structure, fullness in wine, with lots of flavor    Jacopo's Producer Hit List:  Montefalco Sagrantino (wine): Adanti, Arnaldo Caprai, Antonelli, Paolo Bea, Tabarrini, Fattoria Colleallodole, Scacciadiavoli, Di Filippo, Fratelli Pardi, Romanelli, Tenuta Bellafonte, Raína    Orvieto Classico (wine): Palazzone, Barberani, Decugnano dei Barbi, Castello di Corbara   Orvieto (area): Castello della Sala (Antinori), Falesco   Torgiano Rosso Riserva (wine): Lungarotti, Terre Margaritelli   Perugia (area): Conestabile della Staffa, Marco Merli, La Spina, Cantina Margò, Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio, Cantina Cenci   Ciliegiolo di Narni (wine): Leonardo Bussoletti   Trebbiano Spoletino (wine): Collecapretta   Grechetto di Todi (wine): Peppucci, Roccafiore   Terni (area): La Palazzola   And thanks to our sponsors who make the podcast possible: The Great Courses Plus:  This week watch "Brain Myths Exploded: Lessons from Neuroscience", specifically the lecture "Can Certain Foods Make You Smarter" to learn about the effects of red wineon the brain!

Ep 207: Umbria, Italy with Jacopo Cossater, Italian Wine Writer

In 2007, with only an avid interest in wine, Jacopo Cossater decided to chronicle his wine journey and education via a blog called Enoiche Illusioni. Initially it was only a way for him to record his experiences tasting wines, but eventually he began to notice people reading and commenting on his posts. He was asked to become a contributor to a new kind of wine blog - a communal wine blog - called Intravino, that continues to be both popular and controversial. We chatted about his background and what he hopes this new publication will be.
