If you’ve ordered a bottle of Barolo in the last 20 years, you can probably thank Jeff Porter for that. Despite now being a staple on wine lists and collections, Piedmont wines haven’t always received the same reverence as their French counterparts. Former wine and beverage director for Batali & Bastianich Hospitality—turned Wine Enthusiast writer and reviewer for northern Italy—left NYC to fully immerse himself in the heart of Piemonte. He joins us for an insider’s look at the region: From surprising misnomers about aging Barolo to the best value in the region, this episode takes you way beyond Nebbiolo and deep into the culture, history, and vibe of this iconic region.
