Giacomo Conterno of Poderi Aldo conterno wines on sustainability in Piedmont

Put it this way, I’ve had worse days. Listen to the interview below. Here’s a link to their website for more information on their work.

There are also some photos below of the wines we tasted and the lovely Conterno winemaking facilities. Seeing all the old wine making equipment always makes me realise just how far we’ve come in the last fifty years in wine making.
