Really abysmal pronunciation as usual. “Gi” in Italian just indicates a soft g, you don’t pronounce it like “gee.” So Giovese is pronounce jo-vay-zay, not gee-o-bay-zay. There is no glottal stop after an apostrophe either, so d’Asti is pronounced dah-stee, not duh-ah-stee.
Fun fact: in Italy nobody drinks wine with pizza. The only acceptable pairings are beer or… Coca Cola!
