Episode Summary

Content Analysis Key Themes and Main Ideas 1. Promotion and structure of the Venita International Academy Italian Wine Ambassador course. 2. Introduction to the ""Everybody Needs a Bit of Shienza"" segment of the Italian Wine Podcast. 3. Discussion on the specific impact of different soil types (sedimentary, volcanic, marine) on wine flavor and aroma profiles. 4. Inquiry into the distinct characteristics of Chianti Classico wines from various sub-regions (Gerre de Incanti, Castelena in Canti, Gallola in Canti). 5. Debate on the role and impact of blending in Chianti Classico on terroir expression. Summary This segment of the Italian Wine Podcast begins with a promotion for the digital and in-person Italian Wine Ambassador course by Venita International Academy, emphasizing its global recognition and community benefits. It then transitions into a special edition titled ""Everybody Needs a Bit of Shienza,"" where members of the VIA community submit technical wine questions to Professor Chienza, with Stevie Kim attempting to moderate. A listener, Crista Casicana, poses a ""super geeky"" and ""super technical"" question concerning how to recognize wines based on their soil type (sedimentary, volcanic, or marine) through flavor and aroma. She also asks for a definition of what best distinguishes Chianti Classico from its sub-regions and whether permitted blending masks the terroir of these areas. The professor begins to answer, but the audio quality deteriorates, making his response unintelligible before the segment concludes.

Here's my question for the professor. Knowing that a wine is a product of a unique vine, varietal specific site, weather condition and the work of a winemaker, how do you best recognize as far as flavor, aroma profile? A wine coming from sedimentary or volcanic versus marine soils. Almost specifically, what do those specific soil types impart to the finished wine? In your opinion, what best defines Canti classical from Gerre de Incanti, Castelena in Canti, and Gallola in Canti. Is blending with the permitted limitations, a good thing, considering the wide span of possible varieties permitted, or is it something that mask too much the terroir behind each candy classic section.
