This week, my guest is Walter Santero, CEO of Abbazia Vineyards, a family-run estate in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. Walter is the fourth generation of his family to continue the winemaking tradition. He and Abbazia recently partnered with Wine on a special Prosecco sparkling wine that is part of our soon-to-be-released Ruby Collection of wines celebrating our 40th anniversary. Walter and I chat about everything from Benedictine monks planting Moscato to Zabaglione, sea turtles, and more. He even explains why Prosecco is the best, so pour a glass and join us.For our tasting (timecode 13:22:00), we begin with Abbazia La Tartaruga Moscato I.G.T., a light and fruity wine from the famed region of Pavia. Next we uncork the gorgeous cherry notes of 2019 Abbazia Barbera d'Asti, a wine made from hand-picked grapes to ensure optimal quality and aged for six months. We'll top the episode off with a sneak peak at the upcoming Abbazia Prosecco that is available in August as part of our Ruby Wine Collection.Sniff Sip Repeat is brought to you by Wine Insiders, leaders in online wine.
