Wine Pairing: Falerno Del Massico Rosso

Partly to practice my Italian, and mostly because I like Italian food and wine, I’ve been listening to Decanter, a program devoted to food and wine on Italy’s RAI Radio 2. Fede and Tinto are the hosts and Andrea Amadei is a wine expert who also appears on the show. During the pandemic, each broadcast has featured an Italian chef who presents a recipe that listeners can prepare at home, and then Andrea Amadei describes an Italian wine to pair with the recipe. I found that the wines weren’t the ‘usual suspects’ found here in the US, and the descriptions were interesting and often amusing, so I extracted the audio and created English subtitles.

The subtitles are an approximation. In addition to my inevitable translation mistakes, it is sometimes hard for me to make out what they’re saying, especially when they talk over each other. Any suggestions or alternative guesses are appreciated.
