Welcome back to Asolo!
In this special On the Road Edition, Stevie Kim is back in Asolo, one of Italy’s most beautiful towns, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, near Venice.
Today, Stevie is in conversation with local brand ambassador Gianpaolo Giacobbo, exploring the characteristics that give this lesser-known Italian region its unique identity.
Stevie and Gianpaolo discuss the use of local varieties, the various production methods used, and the secrets to distinguishing between different types of Italian bubbles.
Gianpaolo also explains the differences between the Charmat method, also known as the Martinotti method, and the classic method and the differences between the traditional “col fondo” and ancestral methods, and the impact these techniques have on the finished product.
Finally, Gianpaolo reveals the 5 things you have to know about Asolo.
