The Wine Guys

We travel to Northern Central Italy, exploring Cantina del Castello in Soave. Here, we learn about Carniga Classico, single vineyards, and rugged volcanic soils.

The Wine Guys zip off to Hacienda Albae in La Mancha, one of the oldest private wineries in Spain. In this land of Don Quixote, we are surprised to discover a Malbec produced in Spain, and Michael is pushed to his 'price point' sipping these delicious, but expensive, wines.

Michael and Charlie travel to San Silvestro in Piedmont, Italy. We learn about the importance of rich carbonate soil and aging in large barrels to produce top quality Barolo wines. At a favourite local restaurant the Wine Guys marvel at the custom of pouring wine over top of ravioli.

Michael and Charlie visit Rioja, Spain, starting at the winery Bodega Iniesta, owned by the father of the famous Spanish Soccer Star Andres Iniesta. We are shown vibrant Graciano and Bobal grapes at this vineyard, and learn about the key to night harvesting.

Set in idyllic Tuscany, Italy, we grasp the ideal altitude for growing grapes at the Tenuta Buon Tempo winery - 250 metres above sea level. Michael and Charlie enjoy a classic beef tartare for dinner, paired with an excellent Brunello wine barreled in French oak.

Episode Six kicks off in La Mancha, Spain at Bodegas Isidro Milagro. Michael and Charlie step into a wine factory - one that produces over 100 million liters of wine a year. Charlie has some fun creating his own wine in their laboratory, and The Wine Guys survive an unexpected hailstorm!
