I'm here in Piemonte in the famous Pescaja winery and we're learning about leaves and grapes. So, what grape is this? >> So, look. Now, we are 2 months before harvest. >> Yes. >> Okay. The bunch is completely done. And this is the bunch of Nebbiolo. Little pyramid. Quite long. Then, what we do next 2 weeks, we got to cut like this to reduce maybe 30% of the bunch and then we leave only four, five bunch. >> Wow. Why? >> Because we have to reduce to raise the quality, the power of of the wine, but not only not only the power of the alcohol, the power of the smells, the the power of the brightness. >> When you open a glass of this Nebbiolo, it smells from heaven. >> Yes, it's a velvet and elegant. >> Speaking of Nebbiolo, Beppe gave us five, six wines like an hour ago. We We still have something left. Not a lot, not much. And this is Nebbiolo. Look at the color. >> Look, the Nebbiolo is coming from this place, this land. Here. >> Wow. >> Nebbiolo Pescaja is fantastic because remember inter fruit in the nose. The color is much more intense than the standard Nebbiolo like Barolo Barbaresco.
