Paolo Bava and the Diversity of Piedmont

On today's show we have the second episode that Mark recorded while visiting Piedmont a couple months ago for the fall truffle season. Paolo Bava is in charge of the wine production and vineyards at Cantine Bava, which has vineyard holdings in Cocconato (Asti), Castiglione Falleto (Barolo), Nizza and Alta Langa. It's a fascinating story of how the family expanded into Barolo and Nizza from the home base of Asti. And, Mark explores some of the themes we've been digging into recently such as mulit-generational wineries, Eastern facing expositions lending a little more freshness, and much more.
