Ep 312: Filippo Bartolotta explains the Essential Nature of Vintage and Italy's Anteprima System

Filippo Bartolotta is a teacher, writer, and a wine storyteller. He is an excellent communicator and he joins me to talk about Anteprima in Italy which, as you’ll hear, is a purely Italian take on the famed en Primeur of Bordeaux (which we will also explain).  We take an in depth look at vintage, the importance of small producers in Italy, and offer some golden nuggets on how to take advantage of good and bad vintages.  If you've ever wondered about futures or vintage this is a can't miss show! 

Om Podcasten

A podcast for people who like wine but not the snobbery that goes with it. I talk about wine in a fun, straightforward, normal way to get you excited about it and help you drink better, more interesting stuff. About half the shows feature guests and are informal but educational discussions between me and a passionate wine friend –they aren't interviews. All guests are personal friends or friends of friends in wine so like any conversation between friends, we’ll talk back and forth, interrupt each other, laugh and have fun, debate tough questions, voice our opinions, and most of all, enjoy sharing our time together and with you! The Wine For Normal People book is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many local booksellers. Back catalog available on Patreon.com/winefornormalpeople
