Maria Valetta, certified sommelier and wine educator, joins host Robert Tas to navigate the wine list of Carbone, an Italian American restaurant that brings both cultures together over food and wine.
Maria walks us through many wine regions of Italy, and identifies rare grapes that are a must-try,and the vineyards that are bio-dynamic.
