There are few people we enjoy talking about Italian wine with more than Jeff Porter so we convinced him to takeover our Instagram Live and chat with some of our Italian winemakers.

Next up is Alto Piemonte Champion - Cristiano Garella. Cristiano is a partner in one winery we work with, Le Pianelle, but he also consults for Ioppa, Boniperti, and Cascina Preziosa. (Along with a dozen other amazing wineries in Alto Piemonte.)

Stay tuned to our Instagram account on Monday, May 11th at 1pm (EST).
