Meet Edoardo Patrone at Italian Wine Fest 2024 Tue, Apr 02, 24 Edoardo started making wine in 2016 after a few harvests in Australia and four years in Barolo learning how to make wine. It was his time in Australia that gave him time to reflect on just how lucky he was to be from such a unique winemaking region. His time there encouraged him to take the leap into winemaking. Domodossola and the the Ossola valley have 700 years of winemaking history, but there are just one or two other wineries making wine commercially – most of which is produced by those who come to stay here in the moutains at the agriturismi. Edoardo’s jaunt into natural winemaking is unique to the valley, but he works with varietals that have always been grown here, including Merlot, Prunent, Barbera, Dolcetto, Vespolina, and the list goes on. His blend PSP is a celebration of this grape diversity as it’s a field blend of up to 13 grapes. In total there are 7 different sites throughout the valley with different expositions and different varietals. One vineard was home to 20 different grape varietals on only about a quarter hectare. The wines Edoardo makes are made to maintain this history!-Nick Mucci The Italian Wine Festival is sponsored in part by By Sarah Galgano Tags: italian wine italian wine festival italian wine fest
