A scientific inquiry into the impact of soil composition on wine's aromatic and phenolic profile, specifically in Barolo and Barbaresco. 4. The interplay between terroir (soil) and other winemaking factors (clones, yeast). 5. Engagement with podcast listeners and calls for support. Summary This segment of the Italian Wine Podcast begins by promoting the Vinitaly International Academy's Italian Wine Ambassador course, highlighting its new digital format, practical sessions in Verona, and the global qualification it offers. It then introduces the ""Everybody needs a bit of Shenza"" segment, where community members submit scientific questions to Professor Shenza, with Stevie Kim attempting to moderate.

The question also probes the relative influence of soil versus factors like clones and winemaking yeast. Professor Shenza's response, though partially unintelligible or interrupted in the transcript, is noted by Stevie Kim as ""very, very, very geeky."" The episode concludes with a call for listeners to follow the podcast on various social media and streaming platforms, and to support it through donations.
