Queens of Langhe: Mother Daughter Duo Anna and Valentina Abbona of Marchesi di Barolo on a ZOOM with me
Introducing the “Queens of Langhe: Mother Daughter Duo Anna and Valentina Abbona of Marchesi di Barolo!” We first met on an early morning Zoom on Women’s Day in March, and I used my Coravin on the three wines to preserve them for the day when Sue and I could pair them appropriately — which we did a few weeks later with osso bucco.
