My appreciation has temporarily shifted from Burgundy to Nebbiolo as of late. I've been drinking pinot for 20+ years now, which says a lot. I have a bottle of Pio Cesare Barolo in my collection that I picked up on a whim, and this awesome show has opened my eyes to the region, passion, and the people there. Life is about discoveries and I love that I can appreciate the legacy and tradition with every pour and tasting. Thank you!!!!
There's actually a ton of similarities between the two! Piedmont is definitely a fun place to explore all the different vineyards and sub regions. Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed!
Damn, this video was a real pleasure! Not only does it look great on account of the camera work but it is also very informative. The dude hosting is awesome as well, so polite and chill, it's all just great :) This is one of those youtube videos which isn't really a "youtube video" but a full-fledged tv production with serious talent behind it. Outstanding work.
You have experienced the very top shelf, best wine, that mankind can make. You would have visit Napa Valley to find better. Because the best of wines in California are touched by the hand of God.
Great visit and education on Nebbiolo/ Piedmonte wines. I am a bit confused as you list the Appeninne Mountains as in the area. I have hiked the Appenine's and have history with my father having taken Mount Belevedere with the 10th Mountain Division in WWII. Seems pretty far from Piedmonte but I know it runs up high in the region.
This show went way beyond travel, wine and education... this was a great "family" business interviewing a great family business. Federica and her family blew us away, and we're new fans of you guys too.
Thank you Dan and Eileen! I'm so happy you enjoyed the episode, and I'm so happy you found us! I agree, amazing to get to know the Pio Cesare family. Can't wait for you to start watching our other episodes; let me know what you think!
Tutta l'Italia è bella!!! Gli altri paesi possono solo rosicare!!! Olanda Germania rosicate e mangiate junk food, beccatevi pioggia e vento tutti i giorni,!!! Scordatevi il mare bello!!! Rosicate !!!
People often say “I can’t believe this content is free” but in this case it is really the true. This video has some of the best production quality and breath of knowledge I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. It’s like a super high end documentary and frankly I feel like I have robbed you watching it for free. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words! It’s important to me the show and knowledge is free, as wine knowledge is too often inaccessible. However, we do have our Vino VIP club (with bonus content) for those who want to support 👍👍
My daughter and I just returned from Tuscany and the Chianti region. We had a great time but we are a novice at this. I stumbled across your channel this morning. Wow, what an amazing job you do of telling a story and the way you film and put the videos' is amazing. It is quite the production. Thanks for providing such a high caliber production with great info.
Doug thanks for the kind words! I am so happy the episodes are bringing you joy, and I am excited for you to watch more of them! I hope you had a blast in Tuscany, and really hope to visit myself someday soon!
I'm from Turin and proud of my home region. We often go for a degustazione in the weekends. Together with the tasting you get an amount of food which is practically an abundant full course meal
I loved Turin, it was a great city to check out! Hope to visit again and spend longer; maybe go to a tasting with you one day! And sorry about that "fact"; someone else had mentioned it too. I don't how we missed that in our checks; I think we were trying to say something about the size of the cities compared to other cities, but we definitely messed up!
Awesome video! You should visit Montepulciano in Toscana, home of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Especially Contucci, Valdipiatta, and Il Macchione. The best!!!
Top class content, really enjoyed this video and will head down to local/nearest wine dealer to seek out some Pio Cesare wines tomorrow based on this superb vlog.
What a fantastic video! I am really touched with the winery’s history and very impressed with the competence of this young woman leading the business with her family. Congrats!!
Fantastic and all true! We were in Piemonte last May, and wow! The little village of Barolo is like going to Mecca, and it's not even crowded. The vineyards outside of Neive are not to be believed, as you look across the valley toward Barbaresco. We shall return!
Cried at the end. Such a beautiful edit… I always liked and felt drawn to the wine farms in the hills and similar things and I never knew why but the narration in the end made me realise that it’s because those places aren’t in a hurry, aren’t trying to catch up to the latest trends or anything, instead they just exist and will continue doing the same thing like they have been doing for such a long time, having found their reason to be and just being content with it :)
I wish I found your channel sooner, amazing stuff, my guy! Thanks for making it so damn fun, interesting and educational. I swear I watch every second of your videos. Keep up the amazing work, Vince!
You're the best! Glad you're with us now, can't wait for you to watch more episodes! We've got a lot of past episodes available, and a few more this season still to come!
Amazing video, thank you very much. Frederica your knowledge about vino is something else. You are also naturally beautiful woman. Love and blessings from Serbia
This video production is beyond just educational, I’m very touched by your perfection on each shot/frame/dialogue/editing, this can only be done with high respect to the great winery family and audience. Thank you! Lucky to find this channel
It's quite special to see places where you've actually been walking your self, and with that said.. I need to go back to Piedmont sometime in the future. What an amazing place.
Excellent show. The visuals, content, and editing were all top notch. Federica and her family were quite charming. I look forward to another new production!
Thanks so much! Was lucky to get to know them. Yes, 2 more episodes to come in season 4 in the next few weeks! (Also, check out the 4 episodes we released the last few weeks if you haven’t yet, I think you’d like them!)
Nice video and great to see delightful Federica Boffa. But I don't agree that Piemonte--particularly Langhe--is unchanging. #piemonteispiemonte ...it is not another Tuscany nor another Burgundy. It is Piemonte, the land of the land.
What a beautiful region, making my favorite wines. Pio Cesare is an incredible winery. It was a pleasure to have a look inside its amazing cellars. Federica is an impressive & beautiful young woman, so knowledgeable & taking on so much responsibility at such a young age.
When I open my winery I will remember to carry our wines everywhere and I will purposefully take the wine where I can market it. What an amazing story.
Fantastic show I just love the way you talk about wine, once you should visit hungary as well, they have great wines too. not so famous but most delicious
I am so happy to start wine investing back then in 2012 , it has yield me so much profit , and I have also have the ability to drink some good wine and have amazing collection ! It has been a good experience for me as a lover of wine to have the ability to go for wine testing around the world ! I think wine testing is better than buying stocks 😆
The standards of quality in Italy in making/producing things are astounding. The care, the passion and striving for excellence are just on a different level really
Tremendous content my friend. I subbed just 40 seconds into this video. You give a lot of hard info, without it being dull. Just great great documenting and deliver. And I watch for free! Thank you!
I loved the white Arneis when I was in Alba in March. And there's no need to eat pizza there. There are some really delicious restaurants. And the day we arrived, the city smelled like nutella everywhere die to the Ferrero factory. So not only Pio Cesare is an ambassador of the region, but Ferrero, also.
What can I say that hasn't been said? Bloody brilliant stuff Vince and team! You really take us there and honour the love of wine for wine's sake... Thank you for bringing the world of wine to us at home. And Vince- please come see us in Margaret River, Aus some time!
What an amazing video presentation of this truly unique Italian wine region! We've been to Italy several times but have not yet been to Piedmonte! It's on our bucket list for sure. I so enjoyed seeing and listening to Francesca whose now taken over the vineyard operations since her Father's death last year! I'm sure he's watching over her from heaven and very proud indeed.
Sono torinese e devo dire che il video è fatto molto bene,ho dato un'occhiata ad altri contenuti del canale e ,sarò di parte, mi sembra che posti più belli delle Langhe non ne ho visti,noi piemontesi siamo forse troppo riservati e abbiamo il pudore di mostrare in giro la nostra bellezza,altre regioni sanno "vendersi" meglio....
Best format I have seen so far on youtube! Keep doing that kind of great work. Strongly informative and entertaining. Subscribed right away! Wish you all the best. Greetings from Switzerland
Here we are in 2022 and still SO many bars and restaurants leave open bottles of red wines on the bar not only overnight but for several days. Ordering red wines in bars and restaurants is a crap shoot because often you get a red wine that is oxidized. I ask them to open a fresh bottle of red and they still, after all these years do not seem to understand that you cannot leave a bottle of red open overnight at room temp. When will wine distributors educate restaurants about this?
I really like your videos. Didactic, energetic and accurate! As an old guy who knows a lot about wine yet still has a lot to learn you are a breath of fresh air my friend!
Beautiful video. If I ever get to Alba I will get there. Absolutely. This is why I got into wine. The family, the history, the viticulture, the enjoyment.
Excellent informative clear video! Thank you saying " aroma of dried" roses! I didn't get it, until we opened a fine bottle of barbaresco: out came a whole jar of rose pot pourri!
I came across your video researching my wife’s families roots in the Piedmont region. I stuck around and watched this AMAZING video. I’m a new subscriber now. 👍🏾👍🏾
Into wine and watch a lot about it on youtube, till today never heard of your channel, thanks to YT algo found you, immediate subscribe, amazing video quality and information, one of best wine channels out there, visited alba region last year, what a gem. Looking forward to more of your videos to come! Greetings from Germany, hope you explore our amazing Riesling and visit one day 😉
YES! 100%. Germany episode is so high on the list! Just haven’t been able to pull it together quite yet, but it’ll happen. Glad you’re with us now! Excited to hear what you think of the other episodes, and you’ve still got a few more from this season coming!
Barbera is not only from Asti, you should try the same wine from places like Vignale. Same about Dolcetto, try the Dolcetto d'Ovada is cheaper because it's less tredy but good as the one from Asti
Nebbiolo is also grown in Valle D’Aosta and Lombardia:) if you come again you should go to taste the Gavi and Timorasso from Tortona. Pio Cesare was one of the first Barolo I drunk, my father was bringing home many bottles. I was around 16 very nice, I like the etichetta feels me history
@@visforvino I am trying to become a sommelier now I am doing a professional course. I would like maybe to start something like you hope to see where to start :)
@@visforvino Thank you :) A nice video maybe would be to show how you starte to approache the wine and what you are doing :) Maybe you did and I did not see :) You are doing a beatiful work and videos
Ciao Vince, we added Pio Cesare to the menu I work at, and need to learn more about the brand, and this is the best training video to watch, so well done. I sent the link to all the staff at the restaurant, LoCoco's Cusina Rustica in Santa Rosa, Ca. Amo questo video... Mille gracie!!! Salute!!!
Thank you so much for your insightful contribution to all the wine lovers out there! Very informative & fruitful. But I do have to say, after seeing this episode, I am not a big fan of Pio Cesare. This woman just didn’t do right for me personally, no sincerity. i do respect the family heritage , but overall, very self centered attitude and kind of a fake personality for the show. You are so kind and gracious, I love seeing your wine enthusiasm and knowledge generosity. Thank you!
Amazing show! I recently came across your channel and I'm hooked. I hope you are able to continue traveling and producing these shows. The quality and stories are top notch !! Well done.
Thanks to RU-vid algorithm, my wife and I stumbled onto your channel. What a delightful find, particularly this episode as we are extremely fond of Barolo and Burgundy. Cant wait to watch the remaining of your videos, as well as all future uploads.
