A Cork in the Road Episode 109 - Roundtable with 5 Italian Producers, LIVE at Prime Wine & Spirits in Atlanta
This episode is a “first” in the podcast’s history because we had not one, not two, but six microphones set up for this live recording in Atlanta, GA. It is also our first roundtable discussion format for the show. We sat down with 5 Italian wine producers that were visiting Atlanta as part of a tour with The Sorting Table, an importer who distributes their producers' wines to wholesalers throughout the United States. The following participants will briefly introduce themselves at the beginning of the episode:
- Collazzi - Arianna Folli - Sales Export Manager
- Tiberio - Cristiana Tiberio – Winemaker/Proprietor
- Sassetti Pertimali - Christina Rossi - Sales Manager
- Le Monde – Massimo Furlan – Export Director
- Agricola Gian Piero Marrone – Marco Bertone – Sales Manager
We popped a bottle of Champagne and talked about their work in their respective regions but also discussed what they enjoy about visiting the United States, what common goals they share right now, and how they are each navigating the balance of honoring tradition while also keeping a watchful eye on the future with a modern perspective.
