Join Alex Hunt MW as he explores a renowned Italian varietal, Nebbiolo. Referred to in Italy as ‘re dei vini e vino dei re’ (the king of wines and wine of kings), this week’s episode sees him taste and compare an Old World example against a New World contender. He’ll transport you outside the confines of your home during lockdown and delve into this hauntingly aromatic varietal. Journeying to Piemonte and Australia from the comfort of his own home, he’ll look at this enigmatic varietal by comparing and contrasting Prunotto Barolo 2015 and Lethbridge Nebbiolo 2016. Both seriously fine wines deserving of your attention and evocative in their own right.
