Alto Adige & Friuli - Uncorking Italy Pt. 4
Manage episode 497137241 series 3470141
In this episode of Uncorking Italy, Rob heads into the cool, mountainous vineyards of Northeast Italy—where high-altitude precision meets bold experimentation. From the pristine whites of Alto Adige to the skin-contact pioneers of Friuli Venezia Giulia, this region delivers some of the most fascinating, food-loving wines in the country.
Rob explores crisp Pinot Bianco, floral Gewürztraminer, and structured Friulano, before diving into the world of orange wines made from Ribolla Gialla and other native grapes. You’ll also hear about light alpine reds like Schiava and Lagrein, the surprising depth of Refosco, and how centuries-old techniques are creating the next wave of Italian wine buzz.
Pairings, producer tips, travel insights—it’s all here. If you think Italian wine is just Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, this episode will open your eyes and refresh your palate.
🎙 Rob Clark — Host of Bottles & Bites Without Borders
Exploring the world of food, wine, and whiskey—one bottle and bite at a time.
