We travel to Northern Central Italy, exploring Cantina del Castello in Soave. Here, we learn about Carniga Classico, single vineyards, and rugged volcanic soils. Michael discovers a secret passageway that leads to a private reserve, where he falls in love with a bottle of 1960 vintage. At Cantina del Castello Charlie surprises Michael with two white selections: a sweet white vs. a dry Carnigo Classico. After getting lost in one of Italy’s many roundabouts, Michael and Charlie finally manage to find their way to La Collina dei Cilliegi, near Verona. We learn about Methodo Classico, a bottling process similar to creating Champagne, and dine on delicious beetroot Risotto and gorgonzola cheese sauce paired with Ripasso wine. During negotiations, Michael is accused of offering a “Crazy price,” while a new wealthy wine owner’s dignity hangs on the balance of striking the right deal.

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. Next, the wine guys road rage their way to Isidro Milagro in Rioja, where they are lucky enough to enjoy lamb chops grilled on the vines from the producer’s last harvest. An organic Garnacha made from 80 to 90 year old vines is considered against a customer friendly blend.

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. La Cignozza’s rustic family-operated winery is next, where The Wine Guys visit all the resident cats, geese, cows and other critters. They chow down on a duck raised right there on the farm, swirl and sip some Chianti and Sangiovese wine, and drool over a homemade tiramisu for dessert. Michael and Charlie are seduced by a Brunello Reserve. They struggle with the decision to bid on it, concerned that it will be too expensive for their market.
