Episode Grape Deep Dive - Nebbiolo Cover

Grape Deep Dive - Nebbiolo

In this episode of The Second Glass, we dive into one of the most paradoxical grapes in the wine world: Nebbiolo—the pale, fragile-looking fruit that somehow produces some of Italy’s most powerful and age-worthy wines. We break down Nebbiolo with absolute clarity: * Origins & Identity — why it thrives only in a few corners of Piedmont * Structure & Style — high tannin, high acid, light color, but massive impact * Signature Aromas — rose, tar, cherry, anise, dried herbs * Terroir Influence — how slope, aspect, fog, and soil create dramatic style shifts * Barolo vs. Barbaresco — what truly separates the two * Modern vs. Traditional winemaking — long maceration? barriques? botti? * Other Nebbiolo zones — Langhe, Gattinara, Valtellina and why they matter * How to recognize Nebbiolo blind — the non-negotiable tells * Food pairings & serving tips — what actually works with all that tannin Whether you're studying for CSW, WSET, CMS, or just obsessed with Italian wine, this episode gives you the mental map you wish you’d had sooner. Pour a glass, sharpen your palate, and let’s decode Nebbiolo—one of the most misunderstood noble grapes on earth.

Episode Grape Deep Dive - Gamay Cover

Grape Deep Dive - Gamay

Gamay is one of the wine world’s great bait-and-switch grapes: light and playful on the surface, but capable of shocking depth and structure when given the right terroir. In this episode, we dig into why Gamay thrives in granite soils, how carbonic maceration shaped its global reputation, and why Beaujolais is far more complex than people assume. In this episode, we cover: * Origins & history — from the Côte d’Or expulsion to the granite hills of Beaujolais * Beaujolais hierarchy — Nouveau, Villages, and the 10 Crus * Crus explained — Fleurie’s florals, Morgon’s muscle, Moulin-à-Vent’s aging power * Carbonic vs. semi-carbonic — what the techniques actually do to flavor and texture * Structure markers — high acidity, low tannin, red fruit, peony, spice * Climate considerations — why Gamay hates heat yet suffers in cold * Global plantings — Loire Valley, Switzerland, Oregon, Canada, Australia * Exam cues — how CSW, WSET, and CMS frame Gamay in theory questions This is the perfect second look at one of the world’s most misunderstood grapes—ideal for students, sommeliers, and anyone who loves bright, vibrant reds with a surprising edge.
