Welcome to Episode 2014 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors’ Corner – In this episode, Marco Albanese interviews Eugenio Palumbo. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! In this interview, Marco covers the learning objective: “My goal is for us to have a better understanding not only of the ‘stars’ of Piemonte aka Barolo and Barbaresco but also the importance of Barbera at Vietti as well as the emergence of Timorasso as a variety that is exploding in popularity. Finally, I’m hoping he can share with us a little about his life-what is like to be a winemaker in Piemonte and discuss some of the changes he has undoubtedly witnessed.”

Guest Bio - Eugenio Palumbo
Eugenio was raised in Alba and attended the Oenological High School, because it was the only school that allowed him to do what he liked most: staying outdoors and working with the land, in particular vineyards and wine. His greatest passions.
After graduation, he immediately started to work at Vietti and discover the wine world.
Those were challenging years because there were not so many people working at the Winery. This meant going to the vineyards, following vinification, tastings, winery registers and documents, investments, purchases, sales and rental contracts.
He has worked side by side with Mario Cordero and Luca Currado and consolidated his responsibilities and skills.
In 2016 the Krause family purchased the Winery but things did not change much. The philosophy has always been to keep focusing on tradition and on high quality wines.
This job requires experience, because every vintage is different. You learn every year and make mistakes Technical skills without experience are useless.
What binds him to this great Winery is something that goes beyond a simple professional reason. It is something that today stimulates him to continue to do well and grow treasuring everything that he has learned and absorbed in these 22 years.
