Want to know more? On each episode of V is for Vino you’ll:
- Meet a winemaker and learn their story. One of the best parts of drinking wine is getting to know the place where it came from and the people who made it!
- Learn about the grapes. Vince breaks down wine topics easily and makes them fun and easy to understand!
- Visit the region. Not everyone gets to travel to wine country as much as they'd like, so experience the beauty and culture first hand with Vince. Travel the world and sip along from the comfort of your couch!
- Cook dishes that pair at a local restaurant…because what’s good wine without good food? Luckily, the world of wine is full of amazing chefs and restaurants ready to serve up something delicious to pair with the wine you just learned about.

This is, hands down, the best show on wine I can possibly find anywhere! Thank you for producing this!!!!
Thank you Jordan!! You’re too kind!
Dear lord Jordan! Well said! Absolutely PHENOMENAL! Wow
I could not agree more, we love these shows.
People often say “I can’t believe this content is free” but in this case it is really the true. This video has some of the best production quality and breath of knowledge I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. It’s like a super high end documentary and frankly I feel like I have robbed you watching it for free. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words! It’s important to me the show and knowledge is free, as wine knowledge is too often inaccessible. However, we do have our Vino VIP club (with bonus content) for those who want to support 👍👍
learned more in this video about italian wine than any where else.
So glad it helped!!!
Congrats, I showed my wife this video and now we are doing a trip to Piedmont in June. I can't wait to show her your Bordeaux episode next ;)
How awesome! Glad we could inspire a trip! Be careful we’ve got 16 episodes lol
This show went way beyond travel, wine and education... this was a great "family" business interviewing a great family business. Federica and her family blew us away, and we're new fans of you guys too.
Thank you Dan and Eileen! I'm so happy you enjoyed the episode, and I'm so happy you found us! I agree, amazing to get to know the Pio Cesare family. Can't wait for you to start watching our other episodes; let me know what you think!
Tutta l'Italia è bella!!! Gli altri paesi possono solo rosicare!!! Olanda Germania rosicate e mangiate junk food, beccatevi pioggia e vento tutti i giorni,!!! Scordatevi il mare bello!!! Rosicate !!!
My appreciation has temporarily shifted from Burgundy to Nebbiolo as of late. I've been drinking pinot for 20+ years now, which says a lot. I have a bottle of Pio Cesare Barolo in my collection that I picked up on a whim, and this awesome show has opened my eyes to the region, passion, and the people there. Life is about discoveries and I love that I can appreciate the legacy and tradition with every pour and tasting. Thank you!!!!
There's actually a ton of similarities between the two! Piedmont is definitely a fun place to explore all the different vineyards and sub regions. Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed!
The standards of quality in Italy in making/producing things are astounding. The care, the passion and striving for excellence are just on a different level really
Agreed!
I'm from Turin and proud of my home region. We often go for a degustazione in the weekends. Together with the tasting you get an amount of food which is practically an abundant full course meal
I loved Turin, it was a great city to check out! Hope to visit again and spend longer; maybe go to a tasting with you one day! And sorry about that "fact"; someone else had mentioned it too. I don't how we missed that in our checks; I think we were trying to say something about the size of the cities compared to other cities, but we definitely messed up!
When I open my winery I will remember to carry our wines everywhere and I will purposefully take the wine where I can market it. What an amazing story.
Nothing beats old fashioned hustle!!
I have seen this episode at least 4 times now. Having spend a week in Alba and also touring Pio Cesare Winery, it always pulls at my heart strings. Can't wait to return!😍
Thanks so much! I hope to visit again too!
I cried when i saw Pio talking on that video . WOW
Very powerful! He was a great guy!!
I am pretty sure I am in love with Federica. Fantastic episode as always.
I am pretty sure that this episode is the most educational and fun for learning Nebbiolo and Piedmonte!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Beautiful beautiful video, wine and people!
Wow... I love to hear her voice when she talked and told the history of her family winery.
I'm addicted to these travel series you do! I look forward to seeing your Toscana episode, exploring Chianti, Super Tuscan, and Brunello wines!
Fantastic and all true! We were in Piemonte last May, and wow! The little village of Barolo is like going to Mecca, and it's not even crowded. The vineyards outside of Neive are not to be believed, as you look across the valley toward Barbaresco. We shall return!
There were vineyards far as the eye can see!
Amazing video, thank you very much.
Frederica your knowledge about vino is something else.
You are also naturally beautiful woman.
Love and blessings from Serbia
Just bought tixs for this upcoming family Christmas
Thanks for the invite
Nice, enjoy the trip!!!!
This is real best and high quality wine 👍
What a fantastic video! I am really touched with the winery’s history and very impressed with the competence of this young woman leading the business with her family. Congrats!!
Thank you! Yes, it was so great to get to know her!
Your passion for vino along with the Cesare family's dedication to their legacy just put Piedmonte on "my bucket list"... Excellent podcast!
It's an amazing place; I hope you get to visit!!
I felt that in Beaune, Burgundy…as if I was there once before as in Deja Vu??? Maybe another podcast from Nuits St. George in the future?
@@briangaffney9804 Oh, Burgundy is GOING to happen; it's just a matter of when!!
@@visforvino see Remy Boursot Cellier…11 generations of wine making. I have his contact info..
My sincere recognition for this great mini documentary on Alba and Pio Cesare. All the best to Federica leading the company - forza e sagezza
Thank you!
My daughter and I just returned from Tuscany and the Chianti region. We had a great time but we are a novice at this. I stumbled across your channel this morning. Wow, what an amazing job you do of telling a story and the way you film and put the videos' is amazing. It is quite the production. Thanks for providing such a high caliber production with great info.
Doug thanks for the kind words! I am so happy the episodes are bringing you joy, and I am excited for you to watch more of them! I hope you had a blast in Tuscany, and really hope to visit myself someday soon!
Chianti is d worst wine
Cried at the end. Such a beautiful edit… I always liked and felt drawn to the wine farms in the hills and similar things and I never knew why but the narration in the end made me realise that it’s because those places aren’t in a hurry, aren’t trying to catch up to the latest trends or anything, instead they just exist and will continue doing the same thing like they have been doing for such a long time, having found their reason to be and just being content with it :)
Wow thank you! It's always our goal to capture the "feeling" of a place, I'm so glad we were able to do that!
This is my 3rd time watching this video about delicious wine from this lovely part of Italy, great content, great education. Drinking wine and watching these episodes is my new weekend hobby
Thank you! Hope to get back to Italy soon!
I agree Tuscany has the publicity but Italy provides great wine styles for all kinds of folks ❤who like different styles
Amazing caption of Piedmont vineyards:)
Great session, i've totally fell in love with Pio, and wish Federica all the best.
Us too!
Once in a while the TH-cam algorithm does a good job. Great stuff!
Good to have you on board Matt! Can’t wait for you to check out the other episodes!!
Whatever your video and audio crew members are paid, it's not enough. Phenomenal work on this video! I'm not much of a wine connoisseur, but this is the rare depiction of Italy in which the technology does justice to the scenery. Bravo!
Thank you so much, my crew is the best!
3:05 where's Barbera??? 😉
As a piedmontese I'm loving this video, thank you so much for it!
Thank you! That means a lot coming from a local!!
Lovely ❤.. Thank you for the wonderful narration regarding the legendary vineyard of Italy! I loved the Pio family ❤ ,the fashion and their love towards wine ❤
Thank you!!
This is the best episode on barolo, 1 hour passed in like 10 minute.
Thank you!!
Well done Vincent & co., thanks for sharing the beautiful story of Pio Cesare.
Thanks Yinger!! Glad you enjoyed!
It's quite special to see places where you've actually been walking your self, and with that said.. I need to go back to Piedmont sometime in the future. What an amazing place.
Agreed. I hope to go back just for fun some day soon!
you did a GREAT JOB here, my family is from CANELLI, ASTI in the middle of grapevine, super
Thank you, means a lot coming from a local!
Thoroughly enjoyed the week with you. Excellent work.
Thank you!
This is one of the top 10 pieces of content I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much! Piedmont is on my bucket list.
Thank you Dan! I hope you get to visit soon!
I loved the white Arneis when I was in Alba in March. And there's no need to eat pizza there. There are some really delicious restaurants. And the day we arrived, the city smelled like nutella everywhere die to the Ferrero factory. So not only Pio Cesare is an ambassador of the region, but Ferrero, also.
Arneis is a favorite grape of mine! That bitterness/almond skin flavor is so cool.
My wallet cannot afford to become a Patreon, but my heart made me subscribe and like. What an amazing channel yours is !
BRAVO again !!
Thank you for subscribing!!
All the best for Federica and the future of their winery, i know she will bring their wine into greater heights 💖 you go girl!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
What a beautiful video. Worth every minute. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I really like your videos. Didactic, energetic and accurate! As an old guy who knows a lot about wine yet still has a lot to learn you are a breath of fresh air my friend!
Thanks so much! We never stop learning!
@@visforvino Always a student never a master. It’s a saying that keeps us humble. You have a spark! Thanks!
My lovely Italian friends took me to many of these places. It was beautiful there!
Agreed!!!
Is a most wonderful video about wines of Piemonte!
Thank you!
I love this show
I am so happy to start wine investing back then in 2012 , it has yield me so much profit , and I have also have the ability to drink some good wine and have amazing collection ! It has been a good experience for me as a lover of wine to have the ability to go for wine testing around the world ! I think wine testing is better than buying stocks 😆
Yes, wine investing can be great if you know what you're doing, for sure!
A wonderful production . A beautiful timeless region. Thank you 🍷
Thanks for watching!
Man that was fantastic. We are hooked. Can't wait to watch the next one and can't wait to pick up a bottle of Barolo!
Thank you, glad to have you on board!
Excellent production, 4K video, and audio.
Thanks Dennis!
Awwww finally a great video that give justice to our region Piemonte! Great documentary and fantastic narration!
Thanks so much, honored to showcase it!
Just add "wonderful" to the country, the region, the people, the food and the wines.
Another great chapter in every sense. Fully enjoyed it.
Thank you!! Yes, it was unexpectedly wonderful. Couldn't believe how pretty it was there!
The Pio Cesare family operation is extraordinary. The perfection of the wine making operations are clear from the well tended vineyards to the amazing cellers. All speaks skill, care, pride of product and hard work over many years.
Great people and operation for sure!
What a beautiful region, making my favorite wines. Pio Cesare is an incredible winery. It was a pleasure to have a look inside its amazing cellars. Federica is an impressive & beautiful young woman, so knowledgeable & taking on so much responsibility at such a young age.
Totally agree! Amazing winery, amazing people, and amazing region!
Great video. Keep on doing good jobs more and more.
Need to look for a bottle of Pio Cesare red in Bangkok after watching this program. Salut.
Thank you! Visited Thailand about 6 years ago, amazing country. Hope to come back some day!
Tremendous content my friend. I subbed just 40 seconds into this video. You give a lot of hard info, without it being dull. Just great great documenting and deliver. And I watch for free! Thank you!
Awesome; so happy to have you on board!
Excellent show. The visuals, content, and editing were all top notch. Federica and her family were quite charming. I look forward to another new production!
Thanks so much! Was lucky to get to know them. Yes, 2 more episodes to come in season 4 in the next few weeks! (Also, check out the 4 episodes we released the last few weeks if you haven’t yet, I think you’d like them!)
The best Vino and travel channel in one
Thank you!!
Fantastic show, we have learned so much and look forward to learning more. BTW this video makes me want to move to Piedmont
Thanks for watching!
5mins in and I'm in love with this channel... Amazing stuff
Thank you!!! Happy to have you on board!
This video production is beyond just educational, I’m very touched by your perfection on each shot/frame/dialogue/editing, this can only be done with high respect to the great winery family and audience. Thank you! Lucky to find this channel
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Happy to have you!
Top class content, really enjoyed this video and will head down to local/nearest wine dealer to seek out some Pio Cesare wines tomorrow based on this superb vlog.
Awesome! Thanks so much, and yes, their wines are great; make sure to let them open up if they're young!
Amazing show! I recently came across your channel and I'm hooked. I hope you are able to continue traveling and producing these shows. The quality and stories are top notch !! Well done.
Thank you! More to come for sure: 3 more coming this year!
Damn, this video was a real pleasure! Not only does it look great on account of the camera work but it is also very informative. The dude hosting is awesome as well, so polite and chill, it's all just great :) This is one of those youtube videos which isn't really a "youtube video" but a full-fledged tv production with serious talent behind it. Outstanding work.
Stian, thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to have you on board. Definitely check out some of our other episodes, I think you’ll like them!
Thanks to TH-cam algorithm, my wife and I stumbled onto your channel. What a delightful find, particularly this episode as we are extremely fond of Barolo and Burgundy. Cant wait to watch the remaining of your videos, as well as all future uploads.
Thanks Gary, glad to have you on board! Yes please check out the other videos, I think you’ll like them. Hopefully a Burgundy episode coming soon!
Very professional, informative, expertly shot, with useful information. Excellent.
Thank you!
What an incredible video! So glad I have found this channel
Thanks
Thank you so much Cristina!! Hoping to do a South African episode one day! (noticed the currency)
@@visforvino Definitely Cape Town will be the perfect place !
I wish I found your channel sooner, amazing stuff, my guy! Thanks for making it so damn fun, interesting and educational. I swear I watch every second of your videos. Keep up the amazing work, Vince!
You're the best! Glad you're with us now, can't wait for you to watch more episodes! We've got a lot of past episodes available, and a few more this season still to come!

Wow! Great quality video! Thank you
Thank you!
I came across your video researching my wife’s families roots in the Piedmont region. I stuck around and watched this AMAZING video. I’m a new subscriber now. 👍🏾👍🏾
YES! Happy to have you!
Great episode. I learned a lot. Subscribed and now I need to watch all of you other videos. Keep ‘em comin’
Thank you! Next episode comes out 12/17!!
We are moving to the Alba region in May (Mango).... so excited to experience all it has to offer.
Amazing, congratulations!
This show needs to be its own streaming service series.
Thanks! Honestly, if we can grow this channel substantially, we’ll be in good shape!
two days in a row watching the content, very few followers for such a good channel
Beautiful video. If I ever get to Alba I will get there. Absolutely. This is why I got into wine. The family, the history, the viticulture, the enjoyment.
Thank you Carl! For me too! It’s so much more than a beverage.
Proud to be from Turin
Proud to be from this region now living in another beautiful one : tuscany
Nice and instructive video
Great job
Bravo
Thank you! Hope to come visit you in Tuscany for an episode soon as well!
you're amazing habibi i love the way you explain every single details...
Thanks so much!!
Wow! This kept me hooked every second, so many fabulous notes of info. I really enjoyed this thank you 🙏🏼🍷
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your work, I enjoyed watching each second. And most of all I learned in one hour more about wine than I ever have known up to my 34 years! Good luck and please continue doing your work
That’s the greatest compliment I could ask for! So glad it’s helping you learn. Check out our other episodes, I think you’ll enjoy them, thanks, and glad to have you on board!
Finally a great video about Alba and the Langhe! Well done! The place deserves it.
My grandfather was a cousin of Pio Cesare's, but there are no relations with his family and mine today.
How cool you’re related!!! Thanks for watching, and I’m so glad we did the region justice!
@@visforvino Thank YOU, you are doing a great job! I am going to suggest your videos to my students (I teach English to prospective tour guides and tour leaders). 🤗
I think this was my favorite episode so far.
This seems to be a crowd favorite. Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for this! Just started to plan a trip to Piedmont with my sister and this was a great video to get me excited and to learn about the area.
Great video. I love wines from piedmont and very happy you gave us a tour of the region!
Our pleasure!
Such incredible production quality. I'm glad your show exists, but I want more areas 😝
More to come for sure!!
Nebbiolo is also grown in Valle D’Aosta and Lombardia:) if you come again you should go to taste the Gavi and Timorasso from Tortona. Pio Cesare was one of the first Barolo I drunk, my father was bringing home many bottles. I was around 16 very nice, I like the etichetta feels me history
Nice! Yes, I need to explore more of northern Italy for sure. Glad you’re familiar with the winey, it’s a great one!
@@visforvino I am trying to become a sommelier now I am doing a professional course. I would like maybe to start something like you hope to see where to start :)
@@stefanocunietti5643 good luck with the exam! And keep working and moving forward and you’ll find your path! 🙌🙌
@@visforvino Thank you :) A nice video maybe would be to show how you starte to approache the wine and what you are doing :) Maybe you did and I did not see :) You are doing a beatiful work and videos
Loving your videos and how you've made learning about wine so much more interesting. Fantastic integration of knowledge with the stories of prominent producers! Looking forward to more in the future :)
Thanks so much, many more to come!!
Another great video 📹 lot's of great tips thanks for all you do...
Of course, thank you for watching Edgar!
What an amazing video presentation of this truly unique Italian wine region! We've been to Italy several times but have not yet been to Piedmonte! It's on our bucket list for sure. I so enjoyed seeing and listening to Francesca whose now taken over the vineyard operations since her Father's death last year! I'm sure he's watching over her from heaven and very proud indeed.
I hope you get to visit! And yes, she’s really stepped up!
Great work you all! You really earned that wine after climbing those slopes! I love how humble they all are. Condolences to the family.
Haha the slopes are crazy! And yes, it was an amazing week with amazing people! Lucky to have met them!
What a wonderful episode, thank you
Thanks Oscar!
Awesome video! You should visit Montepulciano in Toscana, home of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Especially Contucci, Valdipiatta, and Il Macchione. The best!!!
Really hoping for a Tuscany episode soon!
Just wanted to say thanks for the great videos. Very informative, well produced and entertaining. Liked & sub'd
Happy to have you on board, thank you!
Really well done. Congrats
Great episode. Love all the background information. Piedmonte is probably my favorite region of Italia. Nebbiolo is my favorite grape. 👍🏻
Thanks! It’s a good region to have as a favorite, it’s one you can always keep learning more about; there’s so many sub regions and soils and such!
