Summary

Barolo and Barbaresco are hotter than ever—but how are these wines evolving past their traditional regional stereotypes? In this webinar, wine writer and Piemonte specialist Joshua Dunning dives into the real story behind Piedmont’s modern rise. Forget the usual tale of the “Barolo Boys” shaking things up in the '80s—there’s a much deeper shift happening, and it’s changing how the world sees these iconic wines.

Josh explores how top producers have moved beyond stylistic battles to a new mindset: treating Barolo and Barbaresco not just as wines to make great, but as regions where greatness naturally comes from the land. He connects wine to Italy’s unique history, culture, and even its food, showing how all of this has shaped the way Nebbiolo is made today. Expect sharp insights, a few hot takes, and plenty of reasons to get excited about what’s next for Piedmont.
