Welcome to this special series dedicated to slow wine held in bologna in March twenty twenty three. During the fair, we conducted several interviews with some very exciting producers. We were able to pull out some of the more interesting elements of Italian wine within the slow wine movement, tune in each week on Italian wine podcast. I'm here with somebody who has an absolute fantastic name. Maria Giovanni. Tell me, if you are with bourgogneo winery. Exactly. Bourgogneo winery is actually one of the benchmark producers that we mentioned in our book. Italian wine unplugged two point o, which is the second edition. It's for wine lovers and everywhere and everybody, but we really, really like the idea of students learning from this book and we have your winery in the book. And in the book, we talk a lot about timorazo. Can you tell me first who you are. Tell me about where your winery is, and maybe a little bit about the history of your winery. So, hello, everybody. I'm mele Giovanni, and I work at the bourgogneo, a c u winery in Barolo. And I take care about the ex hospitality, events, and also a little bit of communication. We are located in Barolo, and the bourgogne is one of the most historical cella. It was found in seventeen sixty one, but Romeo Borgogne, And since the beginning, we were in in Barolo. There is an important fact that we love to talk about. So during the official toast of the celebration of the unification of Italy in the eighteen sixty one, the official toast was made with our our wine. So it's something really important to to mention for for us. If you were talking to students Yep. And you wanted to help them to understand timorasso better and how they can recognize it and how they can more importantly, how they can recognize your production. So, we started the production for tomorrow. The reason here, we started for us was really a new adventure for us because, we have two white wines. So we have the first that is this this one is the Lanke riesling that we start to produce in two thousand and twelve that we named Erahora. Finally now, because what's the time for us to have a white one? Because at the beginning, we found that there's no, white grape variety. I've talked to his white grape variety with the the idea of a long aging potential structure with aging potential. And so we move first of all, recently. But then we decided to look more near us close to us, and we'll start to discover this amazing place, the quality of tornazzi Hills, first of all, the reason, and then the the second wife is a team of us. Now, okay. I heard something, and I actually I can see it down there. It is something really interesting. And this is I thought this was really clever. So this is called no name. Exactly. Which is very clever. So why is it called no name? What is it? Tell me about why why why it is? So it's a no name. It seems to be a wine without name. Atticated the protester means label for protests. So we have stopped where we protest against Italian bureaucracy. The strong Italian bureaucracy that is into the world of the wine. Okay. So what is nowadays is Anibiolo. So, Nanenibiolo is twenty twenty. Our last vintage. This neighbor bores in two thousand and five because, we start to produce our classic model two thousand and five. After the aging two thousand and nine, our wine was was ready to bring it with a commission to analyze to receive the appellation as docG as a barolo. Now what happens, have production received the appalachian as barolo The second half was to classify because, they contest to us a darker color, a pigment non typical for being a Marola, and they say, this one, you can't receive the population as Marola. For as Marola, for other people. We don't know which wine it was. So no name, wire down name, label for products. Big success, and every year we decide to continue to to produce. Yeah. And, you know, what is really is a is a label by by itself. Oh, no. That's fantastic. Good wine. Clever branding. I love it. What now what would you eat with this? I think that, you can pair what would you eat with it? Not anybody. What's your favorite? Is that? So I think it's, really, it's really good with a meat that can have a fat meat because you have the tendies to to pair with It's, but it's nice because it's really enjoyable. So it's a wine. It's an impure that you can pair both with a pasta, with a fill a pasta, with a ragu, but also with a meat. They're a particular dish in your area that's very famous. Yeah. For example, you can pair good with Drasato, but also, for example, with the fillet pasta like a pin, you can also pair with a good, good, sauce with a meat salsa. It's really strong. You can really pair now in a good way. That's great. Thank you so much. Thank you too. And, it was the miliore. Thank you. It was the best. Have a wonderful day, and I wish you all the best.
