To date, the Italian Wine Podcast has generated nearly 2 million listens across 747 episodes, and it is now going to launch a new show: "Polly Hammond Uncorked". The first episode will air on 23 January 2022 with special guest, the renowned wine writer Jane Anson, sharing her experience as one of the world's most accomplished experts on the wines of Bordeaux.
