What does drinking Italian mean today? How has globalization impacted the Italian wine you drink? Do volcanic soils really make a wine taste different?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with author and journalist, Robert Camuto.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.Highlights   How does Emidio Pepe bring the past of southern Italy into the future? How is the way of life different in the Mezzogiorno? Why is lunch such an important part of the day in Italy? Which fascinating winemakers did Robert dine with at one of his most memorable Italian meals? Why does Robert love ​​Aglianico wine? How was star winemaker Elena Fucci inspired to become a first-generation winemaker? Do volcanic wines live up to the hype? What impact does volcanic activity have on terroir and ultimately wine? Are there distinct tasting notes common among volcanic wines? What makes Fiano wine special? What was it like to meet the renowned winemaker, Sabino Loffredo? What does drinking Italian mean today?Key Takeaways   Robert’s insights into how globalization impacted the Italian wine we drink were fascinating, including his example of how the granddaughter of sharecroppers is able to communicate with other wine lovers around the globe to sell her traditional wines and she no longer has to sell just to the local cooperative. That ability to go global while you’re still a small producer adds to the diversity of the Italian wines we drink today. I loved his example of drinking a different Italian wine every night of the year without repeating yourself, such is the range of grapes and styles in the country. I agree with his take on how volcanic soils influence the taste of wine: it’s more about drainage than anything else, although a new eruption every century or so certainly changes the landscape and the soils, literally. Old vines have a more profound impact on a wine’s taste, wherever they grow, in volcanic or other soils around the world.

He has authored three highly acclaimed books that focused on wine as a cultural and individual expression in the 21st century. His latest book, South of Somewhere: Wine, Food and the Soul of Italy is both a personal memoir of his Italian family ties and delicious travels to Italy over 50 years, as well as a portrait of Italy’s southern wine and food renaissance today. It was named among the best wine books of the year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, JancisRobinson.com, TimAtkin.com and others. His previous books were Corkscrewed: Adventures in the New French Wine Country (2008) followed by Palmento: A Sicilian Wine Odyssey (2010). As an American in Europe, Camuto has written for some of the world’s best-known publications on food and wine culture and since 2008 he has worked as a contributing editor for Wine Spectator. In addition to serving as a key features writer responsible for many WS cover stories, Camuto writes a twice-monthly column for winespectator.com, called Robert Camuto Meets….which, like all his work, focuses on the human and cultural sides of wine. A graduate of the Columbia University School of Journalism, Camuto worked as a news reporter, features editor and founding weekly newspaper publisher in Texas before moving to France in 2001. In 2015, he and his wife moved to their current home in Verona, Italy. In the Old World, he gravitated to wine as a way of exploring more than flavours—as a way to understand local histories, politics, agriculture, traditions and tastes told through colourful characters.

165: Volcanic Soils, Old Vines and Italian Wine Diversity with Wine Spectator Columnist Robert Camuto

Are you curious about the hidden wine gems in southern Italy? Who are the colourful characters and winemakers who create them? What are the sumptuous flavours of the region and how well do they pair with wine?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with author and journalist, Robert Camuto.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.

Add this to your calendar: https://www.addevent.com/calendar/CB262621   Highlights What was the inspiration behind Robert’s decision to become a writer? What was Robert’s worst moment in his writing career? What does Robert love most about travelling around Europe? Which celebrity wines are worth trying? Why did Robert choose the title "South of Somewhere”? How is Italy’s makeup different from other countries? What are some key facts to know about Southern Italy? What was the lethal “Methanol Scandal” about? Why does the south of Italy have more varieties of indigenous grapes? When did Robert fall in love with the Mediterranean? How has technology helped bring out the complexity that we find in modern wine? Which interesting Trebbiano innovation is Giampaolo Tabarrini responsible for?   Key Takeaways I loved listening to Robert describe the vivid flavours and people of southern Italy. It makes me want to return there. In my second book, Unquenchable, I devote one chapter to Sicily and talk about how the active volcano Mount Etna influences both the wines and mindsets of the island. I highly recommend you visit this magical place, as well as drink the wines here. I’m drawn to stories about specific people, and Robert has many of them. I think the specific tells more about the universal than generalizations do. His mouth-watering descriptions of the food there make me yearn to taste them, if only in my own kitchen for now.
