I was dreading watching an >1hr video but I've actually enjoyed it so much that I didn't even notice the time passing and have not clicked once the advance button 😊 thank you for this beautiful video ❤
Hi Laura, I’m not expecting a lot of initial views on this one, but it should have a long shelf. Kevin and I have talked about doing another video. I think there’s so good content there. Thanks for investing an hour!
I don't know how I missed this when you first posted! What a great exploration of Abruzzo with the two of you! I remember that conversation on Pecorino at lunch! This made me crave those Abruzzo wines (and the food), and it made me long for more conversations with you and Kevin!
Great video Bob! I have been drinking more Montepulciano d'Abruzzo since your last video, and I'm really enjoying them. Had to open another bottle while watching this video. Both of you two are extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken, making the hour long video enjoyable to watch . Thanks for all of your recommendations and sharing your wine knowledge. Salute!
Rosso Piceno generally has a fairly high percentage of Sangiovese. Rosso Conero is similar Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, although it too can have some Sangiovese, although less so than Rosso Piceno. Depending on where you live, wines from Marche can be more difficult to find versus Abruzzo.
Inspired to retry Pecorino. I enjoy Montepulciano D'Abruzzo sometimes as an accompaniment to Italian fare. I would be interested in more sophisticated versions of it. I've sometimes considered it the Beaujolaisesque crowd pleaser style of Italy with sometimes cracking acidity and ultra bright red fruit all without being overly complex.
I’m glad to read you’ll give Pecorino another go. As for Montepulciano, avoid the co-ops, pick up a good estate bottled version. It’ll make all the difference. Cheers. 🍷

It was great to watch it again, but nothing compares with the live stream. Hoping for the next!
Thanks for being there for the live stream. I’m putting the pieces together for another.
This sends me straight to my lectures at uni, but I actually find it interesting. Really nice format Bob!
Hi Carl, I can see that. I’ll mix in a video like this one from time to time. Thanks for commenting!
Bob, thank you and your guest for the awesome presentation. Looking forward to more focused presentations just like this one.
Dmitri, I appreciate the good word. Thank you. 🍷

I’m glad you found it! Kevin and I will likely team up again. Abruzzo is a wonderful place. Cheers!
Incredible video! Very informative and inspiring. Thanks guys!
Thank you!

James, I appreciate the good word. I'm glad you're enjoying the wines from Abruzzo. I hope to do another video with Kevin before too long. Cheers!
Love the longform content, awesome stuff! I learnt a lot
Thank you Arthur. I’ll include a long format from time to time. 🍷
Great content as always bob. Best wine UA-camr along with Wine For the People
You've made my day. Thank you for the support. I'm a fan of Wine for the People as well!
Fantastic dive into a great undervalued region. I’m a big cerasuolo fan for sure. Need to try some more pecorino too…. Chers.
Thank you Carl. Definitely undervalued, also experiencing a dramatic transformation. Cheers. 🍷
Great content guys.
Thank you! More long format videos are coming.
That was awsome...
Never knew that Emidio Pepe, mad a white.. well the hunt is on. 😁
Incredible wines, big $ for Abruzzo. Worth the search.
What type of wines come from the Finger Lakes region in New York State?? It's Hammondsport, NY.😊
Mostly lighter style aromatic white wines like Riesling and Pinot Blanc. Some Cab Franc and sparkling. Cool climate, generally lighter styled wines.
What is the relationship between Montepulciano d' Abruzzo and the Rosso Piceno and Rosso Conero wines?
Rosso Piceno generally has a fairly high percentage of Sangiovese. Rosso Conero is similar Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, although it too can have some Sangiovese, although less so than Rosso Piceno. Depending on where you live, wines from Marche can be more difficult to find versus Abruzzo.

A looong video! 🍷
Montepulciano may be via Latin: ‘mons pulcher’ > beautiful mountain …
Thank you.
It is cool to see female owner operators..
If Italy is like the rest of the world I would assume that it is traditionally a male dominated industry..
Your assumption is correct. That said, the Abruzzo trip outside of the norm, a good number of female winemakers.
