SUMMARY:CWW Let's talk about... Piemonte’s white wines: an accelerating trend\, with David Way
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 season of Let’s talk about… continues with one of the Circle’s members\, Italian expert David Way\, discussing an aspect of Piemonte unfamiliar to many but increasingly necessary to understand. \nPiemonte is chiefly famous for its world-class red wines. But the last 15 years have seen a notable rise in the plantings of white grape varieties\, mainly native to the region. What lies behind this development? What are the grape varieties that are leading this trend? David will provide the answers. \nDavid specialises in the wines of Italy\, publishing on his website\, www.winefriend.org and more recently Decanter\, where he has written on this Let’s talk about… topic.  He also works as senior researcher on the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines textbooks. In 2023\, he published The Wines of Piemonte (Académie du Vin Library)\, the first book to deal with the whole Piedmont region in the same depth as is usually reserved for Barolo and Barbaresco. His current project is to write an annual report on the wines of Northern Piemonte\, first edition\, March 2026. \nFor more information\, look at #piemontewine #timorasso #collitortonesi #arneis #roeroarneis #cortese #gavi #nascetta and David’s own links @davidwaywine: Instagram\, Facebook and LinkedIn \nTo join this Zoom seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on January 20th. The session\, including Q&As\, will last for approximately one hour. To register\, follow the link below.
