Italian Wine Podcast: Recent Episodes
Italian Wine Podcast
The Italian Wine Podcast began as a storytelling project dedicated to the Italian wine world. It started in March 2017 in the lead-up to major Italian wine events: OperaWine and Vinitaly, and has since become an award-winning show, recognized as one of the most frequently listened-to wine podcasts out there. Italy has more native grape varieties concentrated within its borders than any other country in the world, and Italian wine and grape diversity is a story worth telling. Meanwhile, the popularity of Italian wine continues to grow on an international scale, so, despite our name, our shows are equally geared towards the international wine community. The Italian Wine Podcast aims to inform, educate, and entertain fans through engaging conversations with producers, experts, and personalities of the Italian and international wine scene.

In 2014 Andrea was invited to join the Cape Winemakers Guild and in 2016 she was awarded International Winemaker of the Year by Wine Enthusiast. When Andrea is not hard at work in the cellar, her creative energies flow into the kitchen where she loves cooking up a storm, glass of wine in hand.

Welcome to Episode 1549; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview is between Cynthia Chaplin and Gianfelice d’Alfonso of d’Alfonso del Sardo Cellars
Stevie Kim and her team travelled to the Bologna Slow Wine Fair in March 2023. There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon!
Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days.
More about today’s winery The D’Alfonso del Sordo’s vine growing and wine producing family tradition dates back to 1800, when some members of the family, enthusiastic farmers, began to cultivate vines in the family estates located in San Severo countryside: The baron Antonio Del Sordo, who had intended part of his estates located in San Severo and Lucera to vine growing, and Ludovico D’Alfonso, passionate vine grower, who already chose the best grapes from his vines at that time and vinified them in the basement of his house.
In 1933, the management of the winery went to Gianfelice D’Alfonso Del Sordo, who, along with his wife Celeste, keeps on investing resources and energies in D’Alfonso Del Sordo’s wines promotion on various foreign markets, where the brand was not present yet. Furthermore, thanks to the cooperation of highly-qualified oenologists like Severino Garofano and Luigi Moio, he improves the quality of the wines produced by the company and begins the promotion of two important “native ” varietals of the northern Apulia: “Bombino Bianco” and “Nero di Troia”. In addition, aware of the efforts that his father had faced to find a particular clone of this vine in the late 1970s, in February 2002 he concludes a convention with the University of Foggia in order to encourage scholars of the Faculty of Agriculture to evaluate and study the potentialities of Nero di Troia.
An intuition that will prove to be successful given that, from the first single-variety winemakings of Uva di Troia or Nero di Troia, nowadays many wineries have decided to dedicate one or more wines to this variety.

Welcome to Episode 1548, #Winetok: Why the clock is ticking on one of the world’s greatest marketing tools and how you can cash in with Amanda McCrossin, moderated by Ilaria Felluga.
This is the wine2wine Business Forum 2022 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast.
wine2wine Business Forum is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.
About today’ session: In the past year Amanda McCrossin has gone from having no TikTok presence to now over 150k followers in the wine niche. What was once a platform for kids, has now evolved into a billion-dollar marketing tool with an estimated 50+% of users now over the age of 30. The powerful TikTok suggesting algorithm has not only allowed her content to be seen, but be seen by the right audience. As a result, she has been able to not only help educate and demystify wine for a very wine-curious sector, but also move hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wine through recommendations in her videos. But TikTok today is where Instagram was 5 years ago and while many brands from other sectors are beginning to recognize and even capitalize on the marketing power of the app, it is still very much a blue ocean for the wine world. The clock’s ticking and those who take advantage in these nascent stages will be poised for success.
More about today’s speaker Amanda McCrossin is a certified sommelier, wine personality, and TikTok/Instagram/YouTube creator. As the former Sommelier & Wine Director at PRESS Restaurant in Napa Valley, Amanda worked with the world’s largest, deepest restaurant collection of all Napa Valley wines in the world. During her time the wine program thrived; garnering nominations, accolades, and awards from nearly every major publication and outlet in food, wine, and hospitality. She has been featured by Food & Wine Magazine, Food Network, San Francisco Chronicle, on the cover of SOMM Journal and most recently by Wine Enthusiast who named her a Wine Star nominee for ‘Sommelier of the Year.’ Today, Amanda is widely considered an expert in Napa Valley wine and regularly sought after for media appearances and speaking engagements including the Aspen Food & Wine Classic and Premiere Napa Valley. A Napa Valley resident, Amanda can be found creating daily content for her popular TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube channels – SommVivant – as well as hosting the Wine Access Unfiltered Podcast.

Welcome to Episode 1520 on another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. Today we are bringing you a throwback to Stevie’s conversation series “Wonderful Women in Wine” recorded on instalive during the pandemic. In this episode Stevie sits down with Valentina Argiolas
More about today’s guest Valentina was born in 1977, in a family of wine growers of Serdiana, in the countryside of southern Sardinia near Cagliari. From a very early age she was involved in the winery’s life, playing among the wine barrels and the crates of harvested grapes, and witnessing for more than thirty years the history of her family’s business. The winery was founded by Antonio Argiolas, her paternal grandfather and the family’s patriarch, who even after handing the business over to his children remained its bedrock until the ripe old age of 103. Valentina, who holds a degree in Business Studies, handles the winery’s marketing and public relations. Her role is to spread the word about the Argiolas wines, share her family’s history, and tell the story about the land and the dedication that goes into crafting the family’s wines. The winery focuses on Sardinia’s traditional and native grape varieties, including those lesser known outside the island, such as Nuragus, Monica, Bovale and Nasco, and this requires dedication to promoting their unique qualities. Valentina has two small children and so, as all working mothers with a demanding position, she has become adept at running a busy schedule and making sure everything fits together smoothly. She hopes that her children will inherit from Antonio both vision and passion. One thing is certain, however, and that is her children will soon be playing hide and seek among the great wine barrels that once belonged to her beloved grandfather.

More about today’s winery Tenuta La Palazza stands on the ancient hills of Romagna between the cities of Forlì, Castrocaro and Predappio in a strategic position at the mouth of the valleys of the Rabbi and Montone rivers, around one of the watchtowers that Caterina Sforza placed in 1481 to defend her territories. The estate has belonged to the Drei Donà counts since the 1920s, and has always been dedicated to the production of Sangiovese grapes. In 1980 Claudio Drei Donà abandoned his legal practice to devote himself full time to the company, later followed by his son Enrico, and began a radical work of change which gave a decisive change to the property. Of the 23 hectares of vineyards, most of it is naturally dedicated to Sangiovese, whose old plants were the subject of a particular study and selection which then led to their restoration through the replanting of the Palazza mass selection. Alongside these, in the mid-1980s Claudio Drei Donà planted – a true pioneer – the first polyclonal vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in Romagna and a vineyard with Chardonnay and Riesling.

The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene.
More about the guest Natalino was a manager and had a dream of making wine. "It's just one of the many challenges that have characterized my life." In the midst of a virtuous career, he decided to devote himself to his greatest passion, wine. Studies, meetings with producers and sincere friendships began; Eventually his trolley became the tractor and his laptop the vineyard shears. Passionate about music, creativity, and the romance of the countryside. Andrea and Nat met in 2018 through introductions made by a mutual friend during an evening at a pub. They told each other about the past, dreams, ambitions and passions. Inevitably the subject of wine comes up and their strong understanding leads them to immediately embark on a wine path together. And so, a few weeks later, they founded Bossanova, starting from that small plot of just over an acre that Andrea's grandfather planted in the 1970s. From that moment everything changed, from one note, a symphony was born, constantly evolving.

Welcome to Episode 1510 on another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. Today we are bringing you a throwback (the first of several to come) to Stevie’s conversation series “Wonderful Women in Wine” recorded on instalive during the pandemic. In this episode Stevie sits down with Dorli Muhr.
More about today’s guest Dorli Muhr – who discovered her enthusiasm for wine during university studies training as an interpreter (French & Spanish) – founded an agency for marketing and PR work in 1991 called Wine&Partners and developed a highly specialised business for communications involving wine, gourmet products and the culinary world. The desire to have her own wine production – which burned in the blood of farmers’ daughter Dorli – led ultimately to her replanting the fallow parcels on the Spitzerberg in 1995. Together with her then-husband Dirk van der Niepoort, Dorli Muhr recommenced wine production in 2002. Seeking perfection and maximum finesse, she began to acquire other parcels of vines to complement the family patch, so that the Weingut Muhr-van der Niepoort grew continually each year, in both quantity and quality.
Ten years after Muhr and Niepoort ended their marriage, they finally concluded their business relationship. Dorli Muhr took over Dirk Niepoort’s holdings, and is carrying on with the estate under her name alone. At the same time, she was able to acquire a small, old house in Prellenkirchen and move her business headquarters there. Together with her daughter Anna, she is returning to the same village where Anna’s great-grandmother spent her childhood and teenage years.

Welcome to Episode 1497, the Blind Guy’s Guide to Blind Tasting with Hoby Wedler, moderated by Dominga Cotarella
This is the wine2wine Business Forum 2022 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast.
wine2wine Business Forum is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.
About today’ session: We use all five senses to take in 100% of the information we experience in life. Eyesight comprises 85-90% of this information. Why? We will discuss and attempt to answer this question during this session. Sensory literacy is the ability to be able to take in data from all five senses, parse that data, and make logical conclusions. We will explore sensory literacy. Wine is a beverage that we all think we know and love. But when have we had the opportunity to taste wine without eyesight? In this educational and entertaining presentation, Dr. Hoby Wedler, Wine Educator and Ph.D. chemist, will walk participants through how wine is a near perfect example of the intersection of art and science. When we think about art and science, we tend to separate them into separate buckets in our minds. However, they are extraordinarily similar and have an exceptionally fine intersection between them. Wine straddles this introduction brilliantly and this presentation will explore this concept along with many more by considering both scientific and artistic aspects of grape growing, wine making, and wine tasting. Guests will be blindfolded and asked to prime their aromatic vocabularies with a series of aroma samples prepared by Hoby and his team. These aroma samples define olfactory vocabulary words, much like a dictionary provides definitions to words in written and spoken language. The experience will conclude with a tasting of four wines where we will smell, taste, and analyze the four wines in detail as a group.
More about today’s speaker: Dr. Hoby Wedler is an insightful, disarming, and passionate thinker who loves to bring people together to help them see new possibilities. With the heart of a teacher, Hoby helps turn dreams into realities. Hoby has been completely blind since birth. He is a chemist, an entrepreneur, a sensory expert, and is driven by his passion for innovative, creative, and insightful thinking. Hoby is remarkably tuned into his surroundings and has frequently chosen to walk the unbeaten paths in life over known territories. In 2016, Hoby earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from UC Davis. In 2011, Hoby founded a non-profit organization to lead annual chemistry camps for blind and visually impaired students throughout North America. In the same year, he began opening doors to the world of wine aromas by developing Tasting in the Dark, a truly blindfolded wine experience, in collaboration with Francis Ford Coppola. He has since expanded the program to a global market in a variety of industries and special projects. Hoby uses his highly-trained palate and acute sensory insight of his surroundings in his work as a sensory expert and product development consultant. Over the years, Hoby has become a motivational speaker, a mentor, and an educator committed to making the world more inclusive and accessible for all. Forbes Media named Hoby as a leader in food and drink in their 30 under 30 annual publication. In 2021, Hoby was named a 40 under 40 Tastemaker by The Wine Enthusiast. Hoby is dedicated to impacting everyone he works with by unlocking doors, overcoming challenges, increasing awareness, and expanding their horizons.

Today, Valentina is one of the two female faces of Marchesi di Barolo, together with her mother Anna they carry on the dream of a great woman: Juliette Colbert de Maulévrier, descendant of the Minister of Finance of the Sun King and connoisseur of good wine. Having moved to the Marquis Carlo Tancredi Falletti's estate after her wedding, Juliette immediately sensed the potential of the grapes grown in Barolo: her vision and perception of our lands gave rise to what is now considered the king of wines and, not by chance, the wine of kings.

Welcome to Episode 1477; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview is between Joy Livingston and Simone Benedetti of Cantine Benedetti.
Stevie Kim and her team travelled to the Bologna Slow Wine Fair in March 2023. There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon!
Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days.
More about today’s Winery: Cantine Benedetti is a winery established in 1995 by our father Luigi. In 2002 the three brothers Giuseppe, Davide and Simone decided to lead the company and bring it to a higher level.
Cantine Benedetti is an artisan winery that is run with the upmost care and dedication. As custodians of the land, the Benedetti brothers strive for excellence while protecting the traditions of the region and building the dream of their father and the original 15 acres.
Some of their decisions mean that the process remains very labour intensive, but they feel that this is a small price to pay for first class wines.
If you treat your land properly and you respect the plants, without chemicals and cutting corners, you will be rewarded with superior fruit.
“From vine to bottle, a family tradition”. Our company uses only home grown grapes, giving us the ability to control the birth of our wines from the cultivation of the vines; this attentive care applied to every step and a deep love and passion for our land, gives us that marvellous product known as Valpolicella, in all its kinds.
These choices don’t often follow the market’s rules, but they are to be perceived as an artist’s signature.

About today’ session: Standing out in a noisy world: building memorable brands in turbulent times with Polly Hammond, moderated by Alice Wong IWA
In a day and age when everyone has a voice, sometimes the best thing we can do is shut up and listen. But what does that mean when so much of our communication is online? How do we distill the signals from the noise? Won’t our loud competitors gain an advantage? And where do we even start with all that data? In this session, we’ll look at how your business can adopt Active Listening as part of a profitable digital strategy. You’ll leave with insights and actionables that will help you improve your messaging, strengthen your advertising, engender meaningful loyalty, survive impending privacy regulations, and – ultimately – stand out in a noisy world.
About the Speaker: Polly Hammond is the Founder and CEO of 5forests, a globally-recognized, award-winning marketing agency for today’s lifestyle brands. She splits her time between Barcelona, Auckland, and Napa, consulting, writing, and speaking about the trends that impact today’s wine businesses. She’s an advisor to New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, host of Uncorked with the Italian Wine Podcast, cohost of the Real Business of Wine with Robert Joseph, and, occasionally, a knitter. Polly is a graduate of the University of Southern California, where she earned degrees in International Relations and French. Those studies led to a deep and abiding love affair with Behavioural Economics, and her work is based on insights into all the crazy and irrational reasons consumers engage with brands. Oh, and beware, she’s mad about pop culture and good stories, so any presentation is sure to have at least one Star Wars reference thrown in.

Welcome to Ep. 1468, How to Understand Consumer Wine Buying Behaviour? Stop listening to pseudo-experts, Gurvinder Bhatia IWE, Marianna Velenosi (mod)
This is the Wine2Wine Business Forum 2022 Series.
About today’ session: In order to communicate effectively with wine consumers, one must first understand human behaviour and accept that before someone is a wine consumer, they are a consumer. The wine industry too often fails to understand that making wine accessible is not about stratifying wine based on quality, but instead about appealing to a consumer’s (ie. individual’s) need to feel that they are benefiting from their purchasing decisions. All wine apps and data relied on to analyze wine buying behaviour rely on past purchases and predominantly well known wine labels that have wide distribution. The result is a narrowing and homogenization of the types of wines in the pool either recommended to consumers or relied upon by the wine industry to make decisions about consumers. But if the actual intent (as the wine industry likes to message) is to encourage consumers to explore, try and drink better (understand that quality and price are not mutually exclusive) then the wine industry needs to not just change the manner in which it communicates with consumers, but in many ways needs to return to the manner in which it communicated with consumers 20-30 years ago. The wine industry is in many ways its own worst enemy.
About the Speakers Gurvinder Bhatia IWE Gurvinder Bhatia is the editor-in-chief and publisher for Quench Magazine – North America’s longest-running and Canada’s most widely distributed wine and food publication. Although he has written for Quench for over two decades and been on the editorial team for the past 15 years, Gurvinder purchased the magazine in 2021, and is committed to the magazine’s evolution to be a much truer representation of our society. Gurvinder is also the wine columnist for Global Television Edmonton, an international wine judge and the president of Vinomania Consulting. Gurvinder was the owner/founder of Vinomania wine boutique (opened in 1995, closed in 2016), which was named on numerous occasions among the 20 best wine stores in Canada. In addition, Gurvinder was the wine columnist for CBC Radio for 11 years and is certified by Vinitaly International Academy as one of only 15 Italian Wine Experts in the world. Gurvinder is a recovering lawyer and in addition to his law degree (JD), he also earned his Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) with honours. In 2015, Gurvinder was named by Alberta Venture Magazine as one of Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People.

Her first sip of Albariño solidified her love of wines and her first winemaking internship solidified her future as a winemaker. After completing her post postgraduate in enology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid Laura started her career in La Mancha and worked in different wine regions in Spain. A few years later, Laura left Spain and traveled to New Zealand and Chile learning as much as she could about winemaking and the influence of terroir in different wine regions. Finally, Laura took a job in the Napa Valley.

Laura joined Ehlers Estate as Winemaker and General Manager in 2018. For her, winemaking is a process of discovery, where minimal intervention is done in the cellar but the process of understanding the needs of each individual vine in the vineyard never ends. “My greatest aspiration is to make wines which are reflective of the unique fruit and minerality character of the Ehlers Estate vineyard, with long finishes and distinct textures that are difficult to forget on the palate.”

A successful athlete with great skill, ball control, and a powerful shot with both his right and left legs, Hernanes played for various teams both in Brazil (São Paulo), Italy (Lazio, Internazionale, and Juventus), and even China, as well as representing the Brazilian national team (2014 World Cup and 2008 Summer Olympics). He won titles wherever he went, such as the Brazilian Championship twice with São Paulo, the Italian Championship with Juventus, and the Coppa Italia with Lazio and Juventus. As for wine, Hernanes had no previous contact with it and was abstinent until 2010, when São Paulo sold him to Lazio in Italy. From there, a passion for wine completely took over Hernanes. When he moved to Internazionale Milan in the 2013/14 season, the midfielder began to take his passion seriously. Things progressed even further between 2015 and 2016 when the Brazilian transferred to Juventus. Upon arriving in Turin, Hernanes visited several wine regions and became enchanted by Monferrato. At the time, he didn't own a house in Italy and thought it would be the perfect place to establish his residence, so he started looking for something there. During these searches, he found Ca' del Profeta, which he purchased in 2015. In addition to the Ca' del Profeta winery, Hernanes also owns Ca' del Profeta Ristorante & Relais, a wine tourism destination, and a wine bistrot in Turin called Luogo Divino.To learn more visit:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/cadelprofetaInstagram @cadelprofeta / @profeta.hernanesTwitter @hernanesLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/ca-del-profeta-wine-producer/ Website https://www.cadelprofeta.com/To find out more about Stevie Kim visit:Facebook: @steviekim222Instagram: @steviekim222Website: vinitalyinternational.com/wordpress/Let's keep in touch!

Grandpa Hans's dream is our dream today.The wine cellar was founded in 1956. In those years Hans gave priority to the sale of bulk wine in Switzerland. In the 80s, thanks also to the entry into the cellar of his son Toni, the work concentrated on the production of bottled wines. In 2001, his nephew Hannes, Toni's son, brought new support to the business. From the very beginning, not only the grapes from the ten hectares of the family vineyards were vinified in the cellar. The production was supplemented by that of about 50 local farmers. This collaboration has now become a tradition and is essential for the success and good quality of the wine.Today, as then, we consciously focus on the typicality of the wine varieties and place a clear emphasis on the typical wines of Bolzano: Lagrein and Santa Maddalena.”If you want to learn more about today’s guest, you can by visiting:More about today’s guest and winery:https://www.rottensteiner.wine/it/More about the interviewer:Joy Livingston is the Producer of Italian Wine Podcast.

Today it is about 8 hectares and still expanding,” says Antonio…In 2010 The amphorae arriveExperimentation begins with the first terracotta amphora from Impruneta.“We were looking for a container that had the same micro-oxygenation characteristics as wood, but which, unlike wood, did not transfer substances to the wine,” said Antonio. “So we arrived at the amphorae , recovering an ancient tradition also present in the history of the Island of Elba”.Tresse of 2010 is the first wine in amphora of the Island of Elba , a "cru" composed of Sangiovese, Syrah and Sagrantino: it evolves in amphora for 18 months and continues aging in the bottle for 6 months.To learn more about the company visit:https://www.arrighivigneolivi.it/More about the host Marc Millon:Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.

Welcome to episode 1368, in which host Victoria Cece interviews Masimilliano Menon this week on The Next Generation.The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene.More about today’s guest:“I was born in Venice, attended “London South Bank” University in London and developed my green thumb here in Ridgewood, precisely in my backyard in Queens during the global pandemic.Felicity Lawrence’s book “Not on The Label” changed forever my understanding on environmental issues in production and packaging of food and drinks. Avoiding mass produced sugary abominations and promoting polyculture, biodiversity and a more conscientious lifestyle.Taking part in the first UK natural wine fair in Borough Market made me understand how a natural approach could have helped preserve wine’s interest. Not just wine as a homogenized commodity, placed in supermarkets and convenience stores but a diversity of distinctive fermented grape juice with a sense of place.Through my harvest experiences in Mendoza, Loire Valley and Penedes, I was lucky enough to understand that grapes are not just a raw ingredient in a manufacturing process but wine had a more socially responsible and ethical mission, the power to tell the story of its origin through passion, tradition, emotion, heritage, legacy and culture of those persons involved.Currently living in NYC, I am an Italian Sommelier Association Diploma (AIS) holder and Wine and Spirit Education Trust Advanced level (WSET) certified with a deep understanding and a holistic approach towards the business of food and wine.Unfortunately, consumers lack understanding of what wine and food is, let alone what authentic wine and food is. My objectives through the years pouring glasses to customers in Brooklyn was to help them progress in their journey, enhancing their dining and drinking experiences. When addressing specialist retailers and training restaurant staff member, informing them about the point of difference amongst organic, biodynamic and naturalness.Since that day at Oxfam where I found the book, I’ve always been convinced of food and wine as a driving force to change. My main role has always been to help people reconnecting to nature in a largely disconnected life.”To learn more visit: linkedin.com/in/massimiliano-menon-06389094More about the host:Victoria Cece is a food and beverage storyteller whose curiosity is somewhere deep in a bowl of pasta or a bottle of wine.

Welcome to episode 1366, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is at Villa Cavendri in Verona and she is talking with Vittorio FrescobaldiMore about today’s guest:Vittorio Frescobaldi is the Junior Export Manager - Benelux, Denmark, Italy at Crus et Domaines de France. He comes from a very famous Italian wine family, and he has a great interest in French strains, which is what he speaks about in his interview with Stevie! More about Frescobaldi:The name Frescobaldi has a tradition in the world of wine that dates back over 700 years and has since involved 30 generations. In the 60s of the last century, Vittorio Frescobaldi (Sr.), owner of the family properties together with his brothers Dino, Maria, Ferdinando and Leonardo, gave this tradition a modern organization by creating a winery with headquarters in Florence, nine properties in Tuscany and one in Friuli. It consists of over 890 hectares of vineyards, planted in very different soil and climatic conditions, from which 7 million high quality bottles are obtained every year. Difficult to make customers, admirers and journalists perceive such a varied reality. The Frescobaldi’s succeeded by exhibiting the characteristic elements of their most important estates in a hall, and offering visitors a virtual journey through their biodiversity, using all five senses: smell and taste, in the first place, tasting the most significant wine, paired with gastronomic specialties of the area, and identifying one by one the perfumes in the essences that the oenologist of the estate made available. It was a game in which sight, touch and even hearing were also involved, with specially chosen pieces of music being listened to. An original way to get to know the ancient Frescobaldi properties, the Pomino Castle, the Castiglioni estate, the Nipozzano Castle, but also the more recent ones, Castelgiocondo, Montalcino, Santa Maria, in the Grosseto Maremma, Luce della Vite, born as a joint- venture with the Mondavi of Napa Valley and then fully acquired, and finally the Attems estate in the Gorizia Collio. Montesodi and Mormoreto come from the crus of Nipozzano, and Lamaione from those of Castelgiocondo: the SuperTuscans that have given the most satisfaction to the Frescobaldis. Today, the family winemaker, Lamberto Frescobaldi, takes care of its production and with him three other representatives of the latest generation already work in the company: Tiziana and Diana Frescobaldi and Stefano Benini.Find out more by visiting:https://www.frescobaldi.com/it/More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Welcome to Episode 1360 on Italian Wine Podcast, today on Masterclass US Wine Market With Juliana Colangelo she will be interviewing Matthew Kaner. More About today’s guest:Fermented grape juice has allowed me to have a voice within an industry full of characters and strong personalities. I quite enjoy how things smell and taste. In fact, as a kid I wouldn’t eat anything until I smelled it first. Now a 14+ year veteran of the wine world, my humble wine career began at the Wine Cask Wine Store in Santa Barbara, California where I also grew up. Moving to Los Angeles in 2006 brought an opportunity to work at Silverlake Wine, where I worked my way up from holiday help to the manager.In 2009, my close friend Dustin Lancaster came to him with an idea…”I want to open a wine bar and I’ll only do it if you’ll do it with me.” The only acceptable response: “you tell me when and where.” In July of 2010, Los Feliz’s Bar Covell opened with a new spin on wine…ditch the traditional wine list and use your words. Bar Covell has a program of over 150 wines by the glass and the staff instead start a conversation/interaction with each guest to gage what they are in the mood for at that moment. This was just the beginning...I was graciously was named one of the Sommeliers of the Year by Food & Wine Magazine in 2013. In early 2015 with Lancaster and new partner David Gibbs, the trio opened Augustine Wine Bar in Sherman Oaks. Augustine has been named Best Wine Bar in American by Food & Wine Magazine and gets critical acclaim for its Vintage Collection of wines that it makes available by the glass and by the bottle on their in-house chalk boards nightly.In August of 2019 Wine Enthusiast Magazine named me to the 40 Under 40 Tastemakers list for 2019!To learn more visit: linkedin.com/in/matthewjkanerWebsite: willtravelforwine.com/ (Company)Email: matthewjkaner@gmail.comTwitter: matthewjkanerMore about Juliana Colangelo:Juliana Colangelo is a Vice President at Colangelo & Partners, the leading wine and spirits communications agency in the U.S. Juliana joined Colangelo & Partners in 2013 with previous experience in events, hospitality, and nonprofit development.

Welcome to episode 1359, in which host Victoria Cece interviews Emilia Chunju this week on The Next Generation.The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene.More about today’s guest:Emilia, the founder of Le Yi Cup ASip Wine, is also one of the very few Italian Wine Ambassadors in Taiwan. She has lived in Milan for many years, & because she can’t forget the European life of drinking wine with meals and respecting Italy’s long history and enthusiasm for wine making, she decided to introduce exquisite wineries with professional spirit, introduce these traditional and unique wines to Chinese people, and convey the beauty of Italian vineyards through dinner parties, wine tasting parties, and wine lectures.Adhering to this concept, the founder and her friends had the idea of bringing Italian wine to life. Different from the general concept that wine must be drunk on specific occasions, ASip Wine believes in enjoying a glass of Italian wine in a relaxed way at any time. It allows the overly nervous pace of Taiwan to have a sense of leisure that can be found everywhere in European life. To learn more visit: https://www.asipwine.com/More about the host:Victoria Cece is a food and beverage storyteller whose curiosity is somewhere deep in a bowl of pasta or a bottle of wine.

Welcome to episode 1357, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is in Cortina and is talking with Alessandro Torcoli More about today’s guest:To what extent Alessandro Torcoli made his passion for wine a profession or was it his profession, that of a journalist, that made him passionate about wine, we cannot know. Instead, it is certain that he is one of the greatest connoisseurs of wine tourism in Italy.His curriculum is public and easily traceable on the web, therefore we will not retrace the stages of his brilliant career here. We at FisarMilano know and appreciate him not only for his professionalism but also for his great availability .During the very sad period of the lockdown he kept us company for an evening leading us by the hand to discover some wines that he presented and described to us with loving passion . On this occasion we were also able to experience the more human side of his character: an affable and very courteous person like him, he then entertained himself to answer some questions that were posed to him, placing his many years of study at our disposal .The firmness and certainty of his answers may have made one think of a certain arrogance, a bit like some people who consider themselves "arrived". For him, however, this is not the case: he recently got back into the game by participating as a "student" in the courses organized by the Institute of Masters of Wine , which can only be accessed after having taken a very difficult exam, aimed at testing the deepest knowledge of the world wine.And while he is taking part in this "course" he directs his magazine Civiltà del Bere which is based in Milan at the Enoluogo wine shop where he can also be met and consulted for some buying advice.On 17 February 2022 he will be a guest again at FisarMilano: on this occasion he will present his new book, Vinology – Tasting course , of which we only know that it is an infographic manual (like the previous Vinology, a visual guide to d' Italy and the world) to learn to taste and to identify the peculiarities of each vine through our senses.Find out more by visiting:https://www.fisarmilano.org/magazine/2022/02/alessandro-torcoli-un-curriculum-di-tutto-rispetto/More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Welcome to episode 1348, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is speaking with Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, a legendary lady of the Caparzo Winery. More about today's guest:Of Bolognese origins, but born and raised in Rome, Elisabetta does not come from a family of wine producers. Passionate about history, art and archaeology, however, she has always cultivated a passion for the countryside – her Bolognese ancestors cultivated peaches and maize – and, after working as a film producer in partnership with Luca Barbareschi, at the fateful 40 she finally fulfilled the dream of his life: to devote himself to the land by starting, almost by chance, to produce wine.The story begins in 1997 with the purchase of Borgo Scopeto in the Chianti Classico area , between Siena and Vagliagli . The Borgo, which today is a relais de charme called Borgo Scopeto Relais , is so spectacular that it was chosen by director Gary Winick to set part of his film "Letters to Juliet", starring Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero . The film, released in 2010 , surprisingly climbed the US charts : the presence, in a scene of the film, of Brunello Caparzo,positively influenced sales in the United States. But Borgo Scopeto is also a large farm that produces Chianti Classico and an excellent extra virgin olive oil .Find out more by visiting:https://caparzo.it/index-eng.htmlhttps://www.instagram.com/caparzo_winery/More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Welcome to Episode 1334 in which Marc Millon interviews Sandro Boscaini, Chairman/Co-Managing Director, Masi Agricola SpaMore about Masi Agricola:Representing the sixth generation of family ownership and management, Sandro Boscaini heads Masi Agricola today, one of the most important vignerons and winemakers in Valpolicella.The historic Masi headquarters are in the center of Valpolicella, a lovely hilly area between Lake Garda and Verona.Differentiating the winery from others is the Boscaini family’s careful selection of specific vineyard sites, their use of indigenous grape varietals, and their respect for historic winemaking techniques from the region, which are constantly updated by Masi Technical Group. Coordinated by Raffaele Boscaini, Masi Technical Group is made up of experts from different disciplines — including agronomists, oenologists, and experts in quality control, marketing, and sales – and works with national and international institutions and universities. Some of its most important projects include innovations in the appassimento technique, which has been used to create a modern style of Amarone and has achieved international success.Appassimento is the traditional method used in the Veneto region to concentrate aromas and flavors in wine. Before vinification, grapes are laid out on bamboo racks in drying lofts over the winter, an ancient technique used for centuries in the region. Passed down through generations in the Boscaini family, this craft has been modified innovatively by the Masi Technical Group and is used today to make fresh and lively wines from dried grapes, notably Amarone. The APPAXXIMENTO® symbol signifies Masi’s expertise in appassimento in the 21st century and guarantees the authenticity and quality of Masi wines.To learn more about the company visit:https://www.masi.it/enMore about the host Marc Millon:Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.

I think my love for wine increased when I attended Vinitaly for the first time when I was 17. I saw a beautiful world full of business, appointments , tastings, flavors. So I became a winemaker and I still learn a lot every day from my father, who is a winemaker as well. Since I work in my family-owned winery, of course I don’t operate just in the cellar and in the vineyards, but I manage the winery tours and tasting, and I take care of our foreign customers. I think it is the heterogeneity of this world that makes me love the wine industry.To learn more visit:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/antichivinai1877/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/antichivinai1877/ Twitter https://twitter.com/antichivinai LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/viviana-gangemi-aa4133a6 Website https://www.antichivinai.it/ More about the moderator Stevie Kim:Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.About this Session: From the columns by Luigi Veronelli to the photos, videos and podcasts on the main social platforms: the figure of the “wine communicator” has seen over the years a profound evolution in characteristics, language, modes and means of expression to tell the vast and complex world of wine to the public of wine lovers. Up to the explosion, during the months of lockdown, of the phenomenon of “wine influencers”. If the backgrounds are often very different and the skills on the world of wine are more or less profound, wine influencers undoubtedly have in common enormous communicative skills and the ability to intercept the curiosity of young wine lovers, eager to learn a little more about wine and wine pairings in a simple and fast way. But who are the “wine influencers” today? And how do they impact consumers and the market? In response, the session will retrace the evolution of wine influencers from the 1980s to the present day, analyze the use of new media and communication tools, and trace the profile of new wine lovers and their relationship with wine influencers, to understand what is their actual impact on the market.About the SpeakerAlessandro RossiAlessandro Rossi is Partesa’s National Category Manager Wine: bon vivant, scholar and connoisseur of the wine world.

Welcome to Episode 1310; Why you should be investing in native digital content Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.About this Session: While different marketing campaigns have different goals, most share one thing in common, no matter the medium. The campaign runs, people did or didn’t see it, and that’s a wrap. Native advertising in the form of content marketing is different. Although a campaign may have a defined ‘window,’ most publishers who offer this type of marketing campaign allow the content to live on their website or podcast feed indefinitely. This allows well crafted campaigns to continue to reach new audiences for months, even years. We’ll explore this phenomenon through two mini case studies: Fontanafredda’s Barolo-centric campaign with VinePair in 2016 that still draws in thousands of new viewers every month, and E&J Gallo’s sponsorship of VinePair’s Wine 101 podcast.About the SpeakerAdam TeeterAdam Teeter is the cofounder and CEO of VinePair, the most read publication about wine, beer and spirits in America. Since founding the publication in 2014 Adam has become recognized as an authority on how to make the drinks world accessible to everyone, and speaks regularly about the ever evolving media landscape. Prior to founding VinePair he was the head of growth and marketing for the news and politics publication Tablet Magazine. He is an adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Journalism, teaching courses on digital media, and the winner of the Left Bank Bordeaux Cup American Wine-Tasting Championship. He holds an MBA from NYU Stern with a specialty in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and a BA in Journalism from Emory University.To find out more: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adamteeterInstagram: @adamteeterTwitter: @AdamTeeterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamteeter/About the Moderator:Josh Malin is the President and Co-Founder of VinePair. Josh loves putting things together — websites, words, legos, and cases of wine. Prior to VinePair, Josh spent a few years helping to build Ez Texting, an NYC startup, into the leading provider of text messaging services to small businesses. Ez Texting was acquired in late 2012, by CallFire.

Welcome to episode 1303, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is in Castello della Sala (Part of the Antinori Group) in Umbria continuing her conversation with Massimiliano Pasquini, general manager. Today’s episode is part 2 of 2.More about today’s wineryCastello della Sala is located in Umbria, a short distance from the border with Tuscany, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. The lands of the Castle, an imposing medieval manor house, extend for 600 hectares, of which 200 hectares are planted with vines, halfway between the Paglia river and the summit of Monte Nibbio.The Castello della Sala was built in 1350 for Angelo Monaldeschi della Vipera, whose family had arrived in Italy following Charlemagne in the 9th century. From 1300 the members of the family opposed each other for the control of Orvieto, achieved in 1437 by Gentile, nephew of Angelo dei Monaldeschi della Vipera and dictator of the city for about a decade. After Gentile's death in 1466, a serene season was inaugurated at the castle crowned by the peacemaking marriage between Pietro Antonio della Vipera, Gentile's son, and his cousin Giovanna Monaldeschi della Cervara.The 200 hectares of vineyards, cultivated with traditional varieties such as Procanico and Grechetto, but also with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sèmillon, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and a small amount of Traminer and Riesling, are located at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters sea level. That of Castello della Sala is an area highly suited to the production of whites with one exception: Pinot Noir, finds in this terroir the ideal conditions to express itself at its best. The area is characterized by a clayey, calcareous soil, rich in fossil shells, with vineyards well exposed to the sunrise and with excellent temperature ranges.To learn more visit:https://www.antinori.it/it/More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Welcome to Episode 1299, in which Cynthia Chaplin interviews Daniela Mastroberardino in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.About today’s guest:The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, it is now among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. Although not so far from the Gulf of Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi and Sorrento, Irpinia is the inland area of Campania: hilly, mountainous and characterized by a continental climate. It enjoys a perfect soil and climatic environment for making high quality wines, a tradition started by the Greeks and Romans more than 3000 years ago. In fact, Irpinia is a quiet, harsh area nestled in the Apennines in the heart of Campania. Its landscape is a rolling succession of mountains, hills and upland plains divided by rivers and covered with lush vegetation. The identity of Terredora di Paolo wines is that of being “a precious fruit of nature worked by skillful hands”. Terredora di Paolo’s vineyards exploit volcanic soils rich in limestone and clay and enjoy south-facing exposure with an excellent microclimate on breezy hills (400-650 meters above sea level). With approximately 3,500 vines per hectare grown with the traditional Guyot training system, annual production is around 60 hectoliters/hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small baskets with a minimal time span between destemming the grapes before sending them to the wine press. The native white grapes grown are Greco, Fiano, Falanghina, while the red grapes are Aglianico and Piedirosso.Find out more about today’s winery:https://www.terredora.com/en/estate/About today’s Host:Cynthia Chaplin is a VIA certified Italian Wine Ambassador, a professional sommelier with FIS and the WSA, a member of Le Donne del Vino, and a Professor of Italian wine and culture.

Welcome to episode 1294, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie is in Castello della Sala (Part of the Antinori Group) in Umbria speaking with Massimiliano Pasquini, general manager. Today’s episode is part 1 of 2.More about today’s wineryCastello della Sala is located in Umbria, a short distance from the border with Tuscany, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. The lands of the Castle, an imposing medieval manor house, extend for 600 hectares, of which 200 hectares are planted with vines, halfway between the Paglia river and the summit of Monte Nibbio.The Castello della Sala was built in 1350 for Angelo Monaldeschi della Vipera, whose family had arrived in Italy following Charlemagne in the 9th century. From 1300 the members of the family opposed each other for the control of Orvieto, achieved in 1437 by Gentile, nephew of Angelo dei Monaldeschi della Vipera and dictator of the city for about a decade. After Gentile's death in 1466, a serene season was inaugurated at the castle crowned by the peacemaking marriage between Pietro Antonio della Vipera, Gentile's son, and his cousin Giovanna Monaldeschi della Cervara.The 200 hectares of vineyards, cultivated with traditional varieties such as Procanico and Grechetto, but also with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sèmillon, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and a small amount of Traminer and Riesling, are located at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters sea level. That of Castello della Sala is an area highly suited to the production of whites with one exception: Pinot Noir, finds in this terroir the ideal conditions to express itself at its best. The area is characterized by a clayey, calcareous soil, rich in fossil shells, with vineyards well exposed to the sunrise and with excellent temperature ranges.To learn more visit:https://www.antinori.it/it/More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

Welcome to episode 1285, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. In this episode Stevie in Val di Noto, in Sicily. She is at the beautiful Feudo Maccari speaking with Amadeo and Alberto Cuseri More about Feudo Maccari:This is exactly what happened to Antonio Moretti Cuseri, former owner of Tenuta Sette Ponti in Tuscany, when at the end of the 1990s, during a trip to the Val di Noto, he was literally bewitched by the sight of the famous Sicilian Baroque and its warm marine waters. He fell madly in love with it, so much so that he decided to start a new adventure here, giving birth to one of the most fascinating wineries in the area. In Noto, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, on the rocks and beaches of the southernmost strip of land, mound after mound, Antonio Moretti Cuseri manages to put together a property of about 250 hectares acquiring them from more than fifty different landowners. The heart is Maccari, where the vineyards that overlook the Vendicari Natural OasisThere are about 60 hectares under vine exclusively relying on the head-trained system, an ancient process brought over by the first Greek colonists; it is very costly to manage but is well suited to the warm climate of southeastern Sicily. The bunches of grapes are protected by the leaves, which limit the oxidation of polyphenolic and aromatic substances. At the same time, the leaves are exposed to the sun's rays, allowing for excellent photosynthesis. Antonio Moretti Cuseri also chose this system because of the way it allows for perfect ventilation, how it offers the maximum amount of sunlight during daytime hours.To learn more visit:https://www.feudomaccari.it/en/history/..More about the host Stevie Kim:Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!

After being awarded the WSET Diploma and stints working for Wine Spectator Magazine and as a somm at Joe Bastianich's Becco restaurant in New York, I decided to try my hand at cellar work. My plan was to return to New York and start a new chapter in the wine business after my first harvest... But three months became 4 years, and after marrying my Italian girlfriend, I moved to Udine permanently in 2002. I LOVE the wines from this region, and I love being able to have these conversations with the people who create them.”To learn more visit:Facebook /WaynegrapeInstagram /WaynegrapeTwitter @Waynegrape LinkedIn Wayne YoungWebsite LaTavernaFriuli.itAbout today’s guest producer:After graduating in Oenology, Marko Primosic joins the family business in 1989, followed by his brother Boris a few years later. Marko helps his father Silvan in the management of the cellar, and he is especially involved in the creation of the quality selections that give birth to the white field blend “Klin”. Marko is also very committed to valorization of the local grape variety Ribolla Gialla. The work in the cellar is complemented by the commitment in promotion and sales of the Primosic wines in Italy and abroad: Marko becomes the sales director of the winery, and at first he travels through Europe, then he flies to America and Asia also. In the United States, he starts to be known as “Mr. Ribolla Gialla”, the winemaker who brought to the fore a grape variety that before was unknown overseas. In the 2000s he is more and more involved in the Collio Consortium: for several years, he is the vice-president of the Collio Consortium and becomes an ambassador of the Collio territory all over the world. In 2007, Marko Primosic and Stanko Radikon are the founders of the Association of Producers of the Ribolla di Oslavia (APRO). Thanks to this association, the winemakers in Oslavia share their experiences about Ribolla Gialla fermented on the skins and they work together to promote the ”Orange wines” from Oslavia. In an historic moment when more and more attention is given to sustainability and natural wines, the Ribolla di Oslavia made by Primosic winery is awarded by the most important wine guides and magazines.

Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?More about today’s Co-Moderator:Michele Longari: “Until 10 years ago I was working as a Computer Engineer in Emilia Romagna, Italy. Although my daily job was in a different industry, I already had a deep and rooted passion for good wine and food. In fact, I was spending most of my spare time and holidays traveling around the regions of Italy to learn more about the local cuisine and traditional wines. Since I was becoming more and more passionate about wine, I decided to start the Professional Sommelier Diploma course with the Italian Sommelier Association, with the main idea of learning something more about wine and, at that time, I was not even planning to take the final exams. Then, the more I was involved with wine and the less I wanted to be involved with computers and coding (who can blame me?!), and so I eventually ended up taking the AIS Sommelier Diploma in 2013 then, the very same year, I moved to the UK and started an MSc programme in Wine Business Management at the Royal Agricultural University. While I was finishing my Master Dissertation, I accepted a job offer from HAY WINES, a small independent British wine merchants & importers, and now after 8 years I am still working for the same company. My official role is Purchasing Director, and my main responsibilities are purchasing strategy and imports management.”To learn more visit:Facebook: @MicheleTLongariInstagram: @micheletlongariTwitter: @MicheleTLongariLinkedIn: @micheletlongariWebsite: haywines.co.ukAbout today’s guest producer: Marta Locatelli graduated in Law and today she is the President of the family business, Tenuta di Angoris.

Welcome to Episode 1237, in which Cynthia Chaplin interviews Senay Ozdemir in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.About today’s guest:Şenay Özdemir, having worked in the media for more than two decades, is a true communicator and storyteller. Today, her aim is to change the story around industries predominantly dominated by men, starting with initiatives which bring more women to the table.As a child Şenay kept a diary and journaled about her dream to be Romy Schneider. She imagined ways to meet her and realized the answer was straightforward: The easiest way to meet Romy would be to interview her and write her story. This was Şenay’s first visualization of a career.Now, Şenay interviews lots of women. She also wrote a novel, published a magazine and has appeared on tv. She believes that the role of women cannot be denied and if women get written out, they must fight to be heard. Which was a reality she faced when she became involved in winemaking.Living in Austin, Texas, Şenay found a lack of Turkish wines when planning a dinner party. It intrigued her, and she began educating herself about the wine industry. What she learned: the winemaking industry is a male dominated industry and until the late 1970’s there were virtually no female winemakers, except for the ones helping husbands, brothers and fathers.Currently there are 369 masters of wine, worldwide, of which 124 are female. It was an unfortunate realization that technical questions about wine are usually asked to men in a group -- gender inequality, and an obvious sign that the industry has still not embraced the voice and role of women.Şenay’s journey is a noble battle and a delicious one as well. She urges us to buy wine from female winemakers to make a statement. “When women make wine, they make better wine. But that’s when they get the opportunity to make them.”Find out more about today’s guest:Instagram:@Senay OzdemirWebsite: www.houseofredandwhite.com/about-us/teamAbout today’s Host:Cynthia Chaplin is a VIA certified Italian Wine Ambassador, a professional sommelier with FIS and the WSA, a member of Le Donne del Vino, and a Professor of Italian wine and culture.

When she discovered she could combine her academic background with wine through teaching the WSET qualifications, helping other people develop educational programmes and writing, it all suddenly clicked for her. Rebecca now happily lives in Verona, with her husband and 2 cats. She became the Head of Editorial for Cru Luv Selections in 2021, working alongside Jermaine Stone. Rebecca continues to teach and generally dominate the wine world with her amazing style!To learn more visit:linkedin.com/in/rebecca-lawrence-6a58a382Website: https://www.cruluvwine.com/Website (Personal): https://www.rosmarinoevino.com/Twitter: @rosmarinoevinoInstagram: @rosmarinoevinoAbout today’s Host:Cynthia Chaplin is a VIA certified Italian Wine Ambassador, a professional sommelier with FIS and the WSA, a member of Le Donne del Vino, and a Professor of Italian wine and culture.

Welcome to episode 1209, another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is in Irpinia, and she sits down with Ilaria Petitto to talk about the Consorzio, producers and wine! This episode was recorded in Campania, specifically in the Irpinia area of the province of Avellino. In this beautiful place, called Green Irpinia because it is surrounded by hills, mountains and forests, Stevie meets Ilaria Petitto, vice-president of the Consorzio Tutela Vini. Ilaria Petitto tells Stevie about the beauty of this area where quality wines are produced between 400 and 800 metres above sea level. Then Stevie discovers the characteristics of the three Iripiania wines, which are produced from the three grape varieties Fiano, Greco di Tufo and Aglianico from which Taurasi is made. Finally, Ilaria Petitto explains the next objectives of the Consortium that counts more then 500 associated. One of the objectives is to make known the beautiful Irpinia area, to promote a different side of Campania to tourists that is more than a beautiful coastline. The Consortium “Tutela dei Vini dell’Irpinia” was established as a voluntary, non-profit association, on 2003. Less than 50 kilometres from Naples, thanks to the conformation of its territory, Irpinia is a land devoted to the production of fine wines. The peculiar orography of the territory results in particular microclimates, varying from area to area, which allow different types of wines to be produced. In fact, Irpinia, today, is the province in Campania with the highest concentration of vineyards and can boast the presence of three DOCG wines: Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino. The mission of the Consortium is to protect and enhance these wines, vine products, vineyards of Irpinia as a a national cultural heritage.

He rose through the sales ranks at such prestigious companies as Schieffelin & Somerset and Paterno Imports (now Terlato Wines), where he was National Sales Manager. In 1988, the entrepreneurial spirit moved Steve to found Marquis Selections, a wine brokerage company covering the Midwest for fine premium and ultra-premium wines. So loyal was Marquis Selections to its brands, and visa versa, that a number of those brands followed Steve to Caravelle Wine Selections, which he founded in 1998 as a fine wine import and marketing company with Bordeaux’ Baron Philippe de Rothschild and others. In 2002, Steve sold his partnership in Caravelle to form Quintessential. With Quintessential, Steve is realizing his dream to nurture a roster of family-owned wineries whose wines reflect the best expressions and highest quality of their particular appellations. He is doing so with his two sons – Dennis, his partner in Quintessential, who runs the company from its headquarters in a former bank building in Napa, CA, and Steve Jr., who heads up the California distribution company.

In our cellar we work the Tintilia , a historic Molise grape that draws its origins from this region, and the Fiano, Malvasia, Trebbiano, Moscato and Multipla varieties. We are, before many other things, a family that over the years has given life to what is now Tenute Martarosa. Ours is a story written by several hands, where everyone is the author of an engaging chapter. The experience and passion for our work have given us the opportunity to witness the birth of a new wine every year. But also, and above all, the ability to recognize beauty in the simplicity of things. And we want to tell about this beauty, inviting you to taste the flavors of an authentic tradition of which we aspire to be the custodians.”

About today’s guest producer: Valeria Radici Odero says that “by the 1920s, Frecciarossa was already a well established name, far beyond the confines of Oltrepò Pavese. When Prohibition ended in the States, in 1933, Frecciarossa was among the first Italian wines to appear on the American market and was issued Export Permit n. 19, i.e., the nineteenth Italian product to be granted the right to sell in the U.S. My mother, Margherita, started working with my grandfather in the late ’70s, with equal passion and determination. In the ’90s, she renovated the cellars and hired the help of oenologist, Franco Bernabei. He was replaced in 2000 by Gianluca Scaglione, who is still with us today and has become an integral part of our team, along with Cristiano Garella. I came back to this land a few years ago. It felt like home to me, and I love it just like the generations who bestowed it on me.”

Welcome to Episode 1136 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Peggy Baudon interviews Francesca Accornero. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?
Guest-Moderator "I am relatively new to wine, having stumbled into it by default. I recently returned to bartending after a stretch of years teaching then followed by having two children. Bartending in the food/wine industry offered the chance to re-enter the work world in the evenings while allowing time to be with children in the day. The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.” (Peggy Baudon)

About today’s guest producer: Francesca Accornero represents the 6th generation of winemakers of Accornero. Her family’s winery is located in the beautiful commune of Vignale Monferrato in the province of Alessandria, between the Tanaro River and Po River. They farm over 30 hectares of land and produce a range of wines: from Malvasia di Casorzo, Freisa, Barbera, and others which, of course include Grignolino.
Francesca and her family have been very successful with this difficult grape - described as an ‘anarchist’ grape by Luigi Veronelli. Accornero’s work with Grignolino has obviously solved the puzzle of this difficult grape. Ian D’Agata describes Accornero’s Bricco del Bosco Grignolino as “a spectacular wine… that showcases the variety’s many charms. It is refined, lifted and perfumed: or in a word, beautiful. It is light on its feet but penetratingly precise… exactly what a Grignolino should be about.”

More about today’s guest: Born and raised in Vienna, Julia Prestia is Austrian by birth, but Italian by adoption. Julia studied law and economics, worked in London and since childhood dreamed of living in the country - she has now realised her dream. Julia is the owner and administrator of Tenuta Venturini Baldini. Since 2015, together with her husband Giuseppe Prestia, they have embarked on a major relaunch of the entire property with a holistic approach, in which every detail has a fundamental value for the whole. The aim is a greater appreciation of the territory and its most renowned wine, Lambrusco. "The fil rouge of the project is excellence," explains Julia Prestia. "We work to ensure that every detail reflects this goal: we are among the first wineries in our region to have obtained Organic Certification, our vineyards are immersed in a park with a rich historical and natural heritage that borders seamlessly on the Roncolo Park. And, last but not least, our wines gain international recognition. One hundred and thirty hectares, 32 planted with vines, gently nestled on a hilly area between 300 and 400 metres above the sea level, where the earth elegantly blends clay and sand. Besides a unique natural and oenological heritage, the estate also features a historic vinegar cellar - the oldest in the province - and a newly restored resort, Roncolo 1888 offering 11 rooms and 6 suites.

Welcome to Episode 1126 in which Marc Millon interviews Michele Longari, in this installment of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: “Until 10 years ago I was working as a Computer Engineer in Emilia Romagna, Italy. Although my daily job was in a different industry, I already had a deep and rooted passion for good wine and food. In fact, I was spending most of my spare time and holidays traveling around the regions of Italy to learn more about the local cuisine and traditional wines. Since I was becoming more and more passionate about wine, I decided to start the Professional Sommelier Diploma course with the Italian Sommelier Association, with the main idea of learning something more about wine and, at that time, I was not even planning to take the final exams. Then, the more I was involved with wine and the less I wanted to be involved with computers and coding (who can blame me?!), and so I eventually ended up taking the AIS Sommelier Diploma in 2013 then, the very same year, I moved to the UK and started an MSc programme in Wine Business Management at the Royal Agricultural University. While I was finishing my Master Dissertation, I accepted a job offer from HAY WINES, a small independent British wine merchants & importers, and now after 8 years I am still working for the same company. My official role is Purchasing Director, and my main responsibilities are purchasing strategy and imports management.”

About today’s guest producer: In 1921, Angelo Varvaglione (Angelo’s grandfather) and his wife Filomena had a dream: to build a winery. Today, the third and fourth generation of the family produce wine with innovative methods respecting traditions, writing pages of a new history between past, present and future. In this historic company located in Leporano, in the province of Taranto, within the territory known as Salento, experience and tradition have found full synergy over time through the use of the most advanced winemaking technology and great attention to market needs. Over time, in fact, the technologies used for the production of wines have harmoniously reconciled with the ancient winemaking traditions of the Salento area. Varvaglione 1921 is a constantly evolving winery, which in the past opened to the public with the sale of bulk wine. Today, the Varvaglione 1921 brand is recognized in the national and international market and is supported by a prestigious list of wines that have received numerous awards and recognitions.

Welcome to episode 1115, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is with Giulia di Cosimo of Argillae Winery, she is the new Vice-President of the Orvieto Consortium. Together they discuss “Benvenuto Orvieto” a day of events that introduces the new Vintages as well as a masterclass on Orvieto DOC.
More about “Benvenuto Orvieto”: The location (the Mancinelli theatre, in the city center), for the “ Benvenuto Orvieto 2022 ” event was chosen by the Orvieto Wine Consortium
It was an intense day, made up of territory, history and tastings. The day started in the theater with the presentation of the Consortium and its objectives. A DOC created in 1971; today it has 1956 hectares of vineyards and a production of 11 million bottles . It is a wine-growing area that starts in the north from the parts of Fabro and extends towards the province of Terni, even encroaching into Lazio. On the other hand, the area relating to the “Orvieto Classico ” appellation is more restricted .
The day had a full program of events and promotional activities and included an experimental program with the University of Tuscia that began with a study on the four terroirs of Orvieto, volcanic, clayey, sandy, alluvial. Four terroirs that were the subject of the first tasting, with an “anonymous” label which took place in the Theater.
To complete the day, there was an interesting speech by Prof. Attilio Scienza on the close relationship between the evolution of viticulture and the Via Francigena and, finally, on the potential of the “sweet wines ” of Orvieto; also because the presence of “noble rot” in the Orvieto area could be thought of as a real icing on the cake….

Welcome to Episode 1102 in which Marc Millon interviews Carlo Paoloni of th Tombolini winery, in this installent of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Established in 1921 in the Marche region, Tombolini – a family owned estate – is one of the most historical names of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. Already in the 50s Giovanni Tombolini fully understood the potential of this autochthonous white. He focused on vinification in steel, imports winemaking skills from Piedmont and carefully selects the best grapes. He is among the firsts to have adopted the “amphora” bottle, icon of the denomination. With the brand Castelfiora, which he produces in the newly built winery in Staffolo (1972), he has writen an important chapter in the history of the denomination. In the 90s, his daughter Fulvia Tombolini extended the (Verdicchio) vineyard to 30 hectares and started their journey towards sustainable viticulture. In 2013, the call of the land became irresistible for Carlo Paoloni, son of Fulvia, who quit his job in investment banking in London to devote himself to the family business. With the 2020 vintage, he launched a project focused on exalting the unique terroir of Staffolo and experimenting with new winemaking techniques. Symbol of the new course is the Tombolini "100 years" amphora, a proprietary bottle created to contain only the best Verdicchios from the Tombolini estate.

Welcome to episode 1100, in which host Polly Hammond interviews Nicole Rolet, this week on Uncorked.
This week, we are joined by the lovely and talented Nicole Rolet, CEO and driving force behind Chene Bleu. We forego wine-talk and instead jump directly into the blood, sweat, and tears of building a modern luxury brand. From solving spreadsheets and finding the right partners, to acting strategically and overcoming fear of rejection, we’re talking about the non-obvious demands (and rewards!) of our industry. Let’s get into it.
More about today’s guest: Nicole Rolet Nicole left her career in International finance and David Rockefeller’s geopolitical think tanks, to join her husband Xavier and his family in the Rhone to restore a historical vineyard, derelict but magnificently wild, and its abandoned Medieval prior – a hidden gem in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere. Increasingly convinced of the site’s exciting potential to produce Grand Cru-quality wine, she studied at WSET then UC Davis, and called upon her inner entrepreneur to transform this medieval Sleeping Beauty into a cutting-edge wine estate. Chêne Bleu wines were launched in 2010 to critical acclaim. She remains deeply committed to reconciling business success, social responsibility, ethical and sustainable practices, pushing the boundaries of sustainability. Knighted as Chevalier de Tastevin in Burgundy and the Echansonnerie in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, she co-founded the International Grenache Symposium and Association in 2010, then a wine school, and founded FM4FW in 2017.

Welcome to Episode 1096 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Matt Paice interviews Giovanni Pesquero-Elia. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast!
Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?
More about Today guest moderator: Matt Paice is Operations Director of Enoteca da Luca, an independent group of three Italian restaurants and wine bars in central London. He is an Italian Wine Ambassador and also has WSET Level 3.
To learn more visit: Twitter @matt_paice LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-paice-6bb4ba2
About about today’s guest producer: Giovanni Pesquera-Elia
Giovanni Pesquero-Elia was born on June 1959, and was raised on a farm in Serraboella – Neive. He started to work in the fields following in his parents footsteps. In 1972 he started to learn the winemaking process, while studying at the Oenological School Umberto I of Alba. After 6 years he became an Oenologist, showing specific talent in the field of chemistry. For many years he spent time in the cellar winemaking, following traditional rules. After his brother Silvano joined the company a few years later, the two started managing the cellar together. A pivotal shift for Giovanni’s career came with his meeting of Thomas Abruzzini, considered the American Veronelli, given his incredible nose and understanding of the dynamics of winemaking in Europe and markets in United States. He was one of the first people to import and trust Piemonte. He thought it to be a wine area in Italy with the greater potential to compete with the wines he was previously importing into the USA: Bourgogne and Bordeaux. Tom brought Giovanni to the States and helped him to learn about their much more complex and sophisticated market for wine. At the time the US was not well acquainted with the world of Italian wines. But he also let Giovanni and his family learn techniques used in many other wineries across the world, opening the eyes to more sophisticated winemaking styles. This relationship brought their wines to the US, after many years (50) of absence. In this way, Giovanni started to follow the markets too, steering away from the predominant domestic market and expanding worldwide. A future encounter with Marco De Grazia, famous for having started the revolution of the Langhe with the Barolo Boys, led to a further step in learning and the expansion of the winery. Now like every member of the family, Giovanni is in charge of supervising the farming, winemaking decisions and established markets.

Welcome to Episode 1088 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Michele Longari interviews Dominic Zucchetto. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast!
Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?
More about Today guest moderator Michele Longari: Until 10 years ago I was working as a Computer Engineer in Emilia Romagna, Italy. Although my daily job was in a different industry, I already had a deep and rooted passion for good wine and food. In fact, I was spending most of my spare time and holidays traveling around the regions of Italy to learn more about the local cuisine and traditional wines. Since I was becoming more and more passionate about wine, I decided to start the Professional Sommelier Diploma course with the Italian Sommelier Association, with the main idea of learning something more about wine and, at that time, I was not even planning to take the final exams. Then, the more I was involved with wine and the less I wanted to be involved with computers and coding (who can blame me?!), and so I eventually ended up taking the AIS Sommelier Diploma in 2013 then, the very same year, I moved to the UK and started an MSc programme in Wine Business Management at the Royal Agricultural University. While I was finishing my Master Dissertation, I accepted a job offer from HAY WINES, a small independent British wine merchants & importers, and now after 8 years I am still working for the same company. My official role is Purchasing Director, and my main responsibilities are purchasing strategy and imports management.

About about today’s guest producer: “Born in London but raised in Italy in a small village called Quero near Valdobbiadene, I first entered the wine world during my latter school years through harvesting in order to earn some money. This initial interest in wine making, followed by my appreciation of the finished product, convinced me to unite what I was studying at school (economics) with this new passion, and I decided that I wanted to become a sales agent, and having had the good fortune in being raised in an English speaking family, it had to be for foreign markets.
Once I graduated, it was time to find a job but unfortunately it wasn't that easy, especially for the position I was looking for. So, whilst job hunting, I decided to apply for that year's harvest hoping it would be the last one! It was in this particular winery that once the harvest was over I was asked if I wanted to work full time there, unfortunately not as a sales agent but as a collaborator. This meant that I had to learn all of the jobs that one does in a winery!
My adventure in this winery lasted nearly five years, after which I decided that as I had acquired all the necessary skills and knowledge, it was time for me to move on and pursue my dream job. During this transitioning time, one of my job interviews was with a business called VENEGAZZU VINI, a company that unites and distributes wines and spirits from the two small family owned wineries and one distillery.

Welcome to Episode 1089; Exploring Diversity- Confusing optics for inclusion
Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide. About today’s session: The western world’s mainstream media outlets and wine and food industry still have a difficult time understanding that visibility does not, on its own, create an environment of diversity and inclusion (and often is simply tokenism) and the white mainstream still lack understanding of the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. Only when the mainstream accepts and gives space to people of colour to create their own paths outside of the “traditional” and ensures that BIPOCs are in decision making roles with respect to the stories to be told, how they are told and who is telling them will diversity and inclusion be what it should be – which is a truer representation of society – rather than just a superficial marketing message solely for optics. About the Speakers Gurvinder Bhatia IWE Gurvinder Bhatia is the editor-in-chief and publisher for Quench Magazine – North America’s longest-running and Canada’s most widely distributed wine and food publication. Although he has written for Quench for over two decades and been on the editorial team for the past 15 years, Gurvinder purchased the magazine in 2021, and is committed to the magazine’s evolution to be a much truer representation of our society. Gurvinder is also the wine columnist for Global Television Edmonton, an international wine judge and the president of Vinomania Consulting.

Welcome to Episode 1087 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Gary Green, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Mt Yengo is a unique venture. Started by Gary Green and Ben Hansberry, Mt Yengo was created to bring the culture and values of the First Nations People of Australia and fuse them with the more recent culture surrounding wine: to create not only a wine brand, but a true community entered around wine. A community that values bridging the cultural divide, instilling cultural understanding, and embracing reconciliation and diversity.
Gary Green is a Gamilaraay and Githabul man from New South Wales, whose father was a prominent businessman and leader in the Aboriginal community. Gary has inherited his father’s business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and social justice orientation, and has employed these traits in the food and beverage space. He founded a premium Australian Wagyu wholesaler called Mr Wagyu Beef, as well as Gondwana Wines in 2016, which was rebranded as Mt Yengo Wines in 2019.
Mt Yengo has always featured Aboriginal art on its labels. In 2021, the winery announced that Wayne Quilliam, who had been the featured artist on the labels, would join the team in a permanent role as a director. This is an extension of Mt Yengo’s mission to include their artists in the commercial success of the winery, as they have been giving a portion of the proceeds of each bottle sold to the artists for years. Mt Yengo also gives a portion of the proceeds of each bottle sold to the National Indigenous Culinary Institute, which is a program of national significance to create highly skilled Indigenous chefs.

Welcome to Episode 1086 Marc Millon interviews Attilio Alfino, the winemaker of Masciarelli Tenute Agricole, in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Attilio Alfino, winemaker at Masciarelli Tenute Agricole, was born in Fossacesia in 1984. Coming from a family of vine growers for four generations, from an early age Attilio experienced firsthand the hard work of the grape harvest and the constant dedication to the vineyard, but also the satisfaction of drinking a wine produced in the vineyard on which he worked for years. He studied viticulture and oenology at the Polytechnic University of Marche and during his studies he dedicated himself to the grape harvest every year and then, once he graduated, he began traveling to gain experience around the world: from 2010 to 2012 he was in Australia, where he worked as a "flying winemaker" first on Syrah for Mclaren Vale, and then fell in love with Pinot Noir, on which he would work in several wineries in Western Australia, Burgundy and New Zealand. Meanwhile, he also began working with Masciarelli Tenute Agricole since 2011. Today Attilio is Masciarelli's oenological manager, where he is personally responsible for the vinification and aging of Masciarelli wines, coordinating the work of the technical team in collaboration with the consultant oenologist Carlo Ferrini.
MASCIARELLI Tenute Agricole was founded in 1981 by the entrepreneurial intuition of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbolic figure on the Italian wine scene and a leading figure in the affirmation of modern Abruzzo winemaking. The winery has reached the milestone of forty years of activity during which it has established itself among the most prestigious realities on the Italian and international wine scene. Today it is run by Miriam Lee Masciarelli and Marina Cvetic. Based in San Martino sulla Marrucina (CH), the company produces wine, extra-virgin olive oil and other specialties; it also distributes wines from Europe's most interesting wine-producing areas in Italy through Gianni's Selection. Masciarelli stands out for its work under the banner of respect for the environment, highlighted by its EMAS certification, and the right balance between modernity and tradition.

Welcome to Episode 1076 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Iris Rideau, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Iris Duplantier Rideau was born in the Crescent City section of New Orleans in 1936. She learned how to “pass for white” from her light-skinned grandmother. To escape the blatant racism of the South, Rideau convinced her mother to move to Los Angeles when Rideau was 12 years old. Forced to drop out of school when she became pregnant at 15, Rideau enrolled in night classes, determined not to spend her life working in dead-end jobs available to women of color. On her own, she landed a front-office job at an insurance agency. In 1967, Rideau founded her own insurance business, becoming the first minority/woman-owned firm to specialize in federally funded programs. She assisted LA’s Mayor Tom Bradley in developing the city’s first Affirmative Action Program. In the 1970s, she founded Rideau Securities and Investment Firm that specialized in pension planning for municipalities, ultimately leading to her illustrious career as California’s state director for a national pension planning company. She was awarded the city’s Deferred Compensation Plan contract, resulting in $500 million under management by the time Rideau retired in 1999. Rideau left Los Angeles to build her dream home in the Santa Ynez Valley. Nearby, she discovered an abandoned Santa Barbara Historic Monument adobe house built in 1884 sitting on 22 acres of property. Combining her love of entertaining with her business savvy— (though nothing in the winery world!)—Rideau boldly purchased the property and restored the old house. She planted the vineyards to imported Rhone vines from the south of France, built the winery, and created the award-winning Rideau Winery, one of California’s top wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley. Rideau has always given back to her communities, first Los Angeles, then the Santa Ynez Valley. As a woman-owned winery, she hired female winemakers, assistant winemakers, and tasting room staff —something unheard of in the 1990s. During her lifetime, Iris Rideau has proved that her belief in a higher power and her confidence in herself have guided her successful life’s journey—shattering those glass ceilings one by one. Rideau’s memoir, From WHITE to BLACK: One Life Between Two Worlds chronicling the events in her extraordinary life will be published on Juneteenth (June 19, 2022) in hardcover, softbound and e-book formats.

About today’s guest producer: Marco Zani is one of the newer additions to the Selection Massale portfolio, but he already feels very much part of the family. The family domaine was put together by his father, who bought the castle (yep, there really is one, and Marco makes his wine with in its 10th Century cellars) and surrounding vineyards, which are situated on the lower slopes of the mountains that tower either side of the little town of Rovereto. Although his father was not a vigneron (like most growers in the village, he sold each years' crop to the cooperative), Marco knew from an early age that he wanted to make wine, and since 1989, Marco has been (fanatically) tending the vineyards and making the wine at Castel Noarna, as well as helping his wife to run the best hotel/restaurant in town.
The castle and the vineyards lie on east/southeast facing slopes at about 350 meters above sea level -- these are high alititude vineyards, similar to those of Belluard in the Haute-Savoie, and Knauss and Beurer in Swabia. The soils, which Marco has worked organically since 2008 are rich in minerals and poor in organic matter, and exactly what's needed for making of grands vins. Limestone, our favorite, quartz, slate, silt.

Welcome to Episode 1064 Marc Millon interviews Sofia Malagoli of Acetaia Malagoli Daniele in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Sofia Malagoli, after graduating from high school, started studying Civil Engineering at University of Bologna as her father wished. Yet, after her first year of University, Sofia had the idea to turn her father Daniele’s hobby for DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena into a business.
Sofia spent her first six years of life in her mother’s family hotel. There, she used to spend a lot of time with many people with different backgrounds and nationalities. Even though her dad wanted her to be a civil engineer like him, she never felt passionated towards that job and for this reason, parallel to the academic studies that she completed, she inaugurated her own business, namely Acetaia Malagoli Daniele.

Welcome to episode 1062 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Sally Evans of Chateau George 7, this week on Uncorked.
In this episode, we are joined by Sally Evans, owner of Chateau George 7. Sally’s story is inspiring and delightful -- At the time when many people are considering slowing down the pace of life, Sally took a decidedly different path, she bought a parcel of 35-year old vines in Fronsac and started a winery. Today, we talk about how her career in Business Strategy and Marketing informs her decisions, how those decisions have helped her build an award-winning winery, and the adventure of starting a new business after 50. Let’s get into it!
More about today’s guest: After a career at a global consulting company in Paris then Nice, and with the family having flown the nest, Sally Evans felt that the time had come to have a new adventure. She started studying WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) wine courses and traveled to Bordeaux to explore the city and its appellations. Within months, she was destined to own a winery, and Chateau George 7 was born.
By 2020, Sally had transformed a dilapidated tractor barn into a wine tourism venue to coincide with the bottling of her first vintage and by late 2021, Chateau George 7 was recognised with a Best of Wine Tourism Gold Award.

Welcome to episode 1061, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today’s episode is set at the Citari winery in the heart of Lugana DOC at the foot of Lake Garda. Here Stevie meets the wine producers Francesca Fiorentini and Francesco Mascini who will tell her the story of Citari and its line of wines.
About today’s winery: On the hill of San Martino della Battaglia, not far from the tower erected to commemorate the historic battle during the Risorgimento, lies the Citari estate, 25 hectares. The official date when it was founded is 1975, but its story began quite some time earlier. It was in fact the grandfather, Francesco Gettuli, who purchased the estate, in an area that he knew well because he had spent time there as a child with his father, a farmer. Today it is his grandson Francesco who looks after the estate, with the support of his father, and the help of some long-standing colleagues: Simone Rigon and his father Bruno, assisted by Francesca Fiorentini.

Welcome to episode 1043 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Diana Verde Nieto, this week on Uncorked. This week, we’re joined by Diana Verde Nieto, co-founder and CEO of Positive Luxury. Long before Sustainability was a buzzword, Diana and her team began working with luxury organizations to support awareness and improvements in ESG+ goals. Today, we tap into her 20 years of experience to better understand what is really motivating change, how the luxury market is different, and how consumers and producers alike can balance pragmatic needs with sustainable choices. Let’s get into it!
More about today’s guest: Diana Verde Nieto is the co-founder and CEO of Positive Luxury, developers of the globally-recognized Butterfly Mark. Their proprietary ESG+ assessment framework is the only one designed for the specific social, environmental and material risks of the luxury industry.
Originally from Argentina, Diana credits growing up under a dictatorship to her understanding of how policy directly affects outcomes for a country and its citizens. This understanding drove her to start a consultancy on sustainability in 2003, long before it was trendy. Diana holds a degree in Global Leadership & Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and was trained on environmental and sustainability through Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection.

About today’s guest producer:
Salvatore Avallone’s father created Villa Matilde in the 1960’s after spending over 10 years of painstaking research to locate and identify the few remaining grape vines of the original strain that made the famous Falernum wine of Roman times. His father, Francesco Paolo, was a lawyer, a lifelong student of the Roman Empire and a professor of Roman Law at the University of Naples. He and his friends from the Dept of Agriculture at the University of Naples conducted an “ampelographical” study of the vines in all the small farms in the Caserta region where the famed Falernum wines had been grown. But the phylloxera epidemic of the late 1800’s had wiped out the vines – all but a very few. The friends discovered 15 vines – 10 red (Aglianico and Piedirosso) and 5 white (Falanghina). With this small but precious start, the Avallone family embarked on a journey to create a modern expression of the greatest wine of ancient Rome, the Falerno del Massico.

Welcome to Episode 1035 Marc Millon interviews Elise Rialland of Casale del Giglio in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s winery: Casale del Giglio has always been motivated by the desire to produce top quality, fairly-priced wines in a swathe of land, the Agro Pontino, little known until recently for its viticutural potential. The aim of the experimentation programme, conducted in 1985 on 180 acres of vineyard, has been, and still is, twofold: first to favour those cultivars which, by their nature and through targeted management, have proved to interact most successfully with the soil and climate of the territory; second to rediscover and restore the status of native vines once thought to be obsolete, such as Biancolella di Ponza, Bellone di Anzio, Cesanese di Olevano Romano and Pecorino di Accumoli.

Today, I am excited to interview a friend and one of the smartest fellas working in wine, Darren Oemcke. A straight-shooting Australian, Darren has experience in all walks of the wine world: engineering, production, technology, marketing, mentoring, teaching, whew…and in his spare time, he still manages to catch a few waves.

Welcome to Episode 1024 Steve Raye interviews Wolfgang Klotz of Cantina Tramin in this installment of Get US Market Ready With Italian Wine People on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s winery: In a time without prospects for many South Tyrolean winegrowers, Christian Schrott, pastor of Tramin and later member of parliament in Vienna, founded their cooperative in 1898 to secure the future of many small local winegrowers. Thanks to the strength of this connection, the Tramin winery has developed over time into one of the most established cooperatives in the region and a model recognized worldwide. Today they are 160 winegrowing families and work a total of around 270 hectares. Every single bottle stands for their life’s work philosophy: a sense of duty, commitment, confidence and creativity. In 1971, the Tramin winery merged with the Neumarkt cooperative, founded in 1893. This connection brings together in a single cooperative a rich heritage of traditions and vineyards, including the prestigious Pinot Noir vineyards of Mazzon and Glen. Under the leadership of our new cellar master, Willi Stürz, the trend towards rigorous quality thinking is completed in the 90s: the selection line (consisting today of Nussbaumer, Terminum, Unterebner, Stoan, Freisinger, Maglen, Urban and Loam) sees the light of day . These wines are the result of a selection from our best vineyards and symbolize what we do to the highest degree. In 2010 the conversion of the winery was completed. The sculptural building, a project by the South Tyrolean architect Werner Tscholl, will become Tramin's landmark.

More about today’s narrator: "I am relatively new to wine, having stumbled into it by default. I recently returned to bartending after a stretch of years teaching then followed by having two children. Bartending in the food/wine industry offered the chance to re-enter the work world in the evenings while allowing time to be with children in the day. The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.” (Peggy Baudon)

The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.” (Peggy Baudon)

About today’s guest producer: “It all started in September 1991, a young lawyer (me) was called to the bedside of the Cantina Cooperativa di Gravina in Puglia.

Transforming a cooperative into a model company dedicated to the production of quality wines with great attention to the environment is a challenge won, COVID permitting.

Welcome to Episode 1014 Marc Millon interviews Erika Marchesini of the Marcello Marchesini Winery 1970 in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s winery: All of the Marchesini Winery’s vines are autochthonous and are situated in the south-east of Lake Garda, specifically in the Bardolino Classic wine area which is the heart of the where the local Veronese wine is produced. They currently produce 900 kgs of grapes from 10 hectares of land that is divided into 4 different vineyards.
The especially mild weather conditions on Lake Garda, even during the winter months, help make this area one of the best for the production of wine. Another important factor is that of the Garda hills, the hills that were formed by the residues of the glaciers that descended into the valley. The land is characterised by a mineral soil, and it is on this warm, dry land rich in sand stones and gravel that their wines were created. They use different grapes in order to make our Bardolino wine: Corvina that gives body and structure, Corvinone, an older variety of Corvina to be precise that allows you to re-live the Bardolino flavours of the past .There are also the Rondinella and Molinara grapes, which give both lightness and flavour. They also grow Chardonnay, Garganega and Merlot grapes, which they use to produce their white wine Santi, San Fermo IGP and EriGiò their sweet straw wine.

Welcome to Episode 1013 Steve Raye interviews Scott Ades of Dalla Terra in this installment of Get US Market Ready With Italian Wine People on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s guest: Scott Ades as the new president of Dalla Terra. Ades was most recently COO of The Winebow Group, where he spent more than 11 years building his reputation as one of the most respected managers in the wine business.
The Dalla Terra Winery Direct® roster reads like a who’s who of some of the most esteemed family-owned wineries in Italy. Each producer has played a major role in the significant strides Italy has made over the last twenty years in improving the quality of its wines. Dalla Terra Winery Direct® is changing the nature of the wine importing and distribution business. The company’s unique business model skips the national importer level in the three-tier distribution system, allowing U.S. distributors to buy directly from the producer. Dalla Terra’s business model offers a more efficient, economical and consumer-friendly way of shipping, distributing and marketing wine, eliminating on average 20- to 25% in markups on each bottle. While Dalla Terra’s services are sought after by winemakers all over Italy because of the company’s economically competitive edge, producers are also attracted by the company’s commitment to highlighting individuality by choosing to work with only a few top producers from each wine-growing region in Italy. Founder Brian Larky considers each of the producers he works with part of a roundtable on innovation and quality, at which each producer has a voice. In 2009, Wine Enthusiast nominated Dalla Terra for Importer of the Year for its annual Wine Star Awards. On January 24, 2011, Larky was inducted into the Italian Trade Commission’s Wines of Italy Hall of Fame at the opening reception for Vino 2011 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, NY. This marks the highest level of distinction presented by the Italian government to wine industry leaders.

Welcome to episode 1012 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Krister Bengtsson, this week on Uncorked. In this episode, we are joined by Krister Bengtsson, Founder and Publisher of Star Wine List. With a strategy focused on long-term, sustainable growth, Krister and his team eschewed the “move fast and break things” start-up approach in favor of consistent value, measured launches, and relationship building. We’re here to talk about this direction carried them through a pandemic (despite being all about wine lists!), how Krister’s background in journalism paved the way, and how Star Wine List has carved a unique niche in the world of wine writing.
More about today’s guest: Krister Bengtsson is a Swedish journalist and entrepreneur with a background in both the media and wine industries. In 2017, he founded Star Wine List as he thought there were so many restaurant guides in the world, but not enough wine guides.

He was named 2018 Wine Person of the Year by Swedish wine magazine Allt om Vin, and Commandeur de Bordeaux, 2018. In 2012, he earned his Wine MBA from Kedge Management School, Bordeaux; and he is a member of the Swedish wine writers association.

More about today’s narrator: "I am relatively new to wine, having stumbled into it by default. I recently returned to bartending after a stretch of years teaching then followed by having two children. Bartending in the food/wine industry offered the chance to re-enter the work world in the evenings while allowing time to be with children in the day. The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.”

Welcome to Episode 1007; 5 must-know facts for success in the Australian post pandemic market
Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.
Australia is only just emerging from the Covid bubble with international borders expected to re-open December 2021. Due to extended lock downs the Australian beverage industry has undergone a massive transformation for both on and off premise sales. Local producers have lost important export markets and have been looking inward for sales which has impacted imports. It’s not all doom and gloom though as consumers have increased wine consumption and are looking for new tastes and flavours. Italy is an exciting prospect for both consumers and trade. With a significant Italian expat demographic, major plantings of Italian varieties, an educated market and the Australian love of food and the Mediterranean lifestyle, Italian wines are well poised to gain more traction as the economy opens and rebuilds.

Welcome to Episode 1005 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Alice Achayo, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Alice Achayo is the founder of the Wine Linguist. A business she started recently that focuses on expanding wine language through global cuisines. Having worked in different parts of the wine industry over the last last 6 years, she wanted to change what she saw was lacking: representation of the global majority’s language, culture, and cuisine. For far too long the wine language has been centered around Eurocentric and Western society. This is one of the many reasons why wine has always been intimidating, exclusive, and uninviting. While there are various ways to diversify the industry, a core focus of the Wine Linguist will be on global cuisine and wine pairing. For me the beauty of the wine language is that it relies on our individual sensory memories. Foods we’ve grown up eating and the scents that surrounded us, play a massive role in our wine vocabularies. Exposing our palate to other cultures’ cuisines will allow for us to learn new ways to talk about wine that is more inclusive and relatable to the majority.

More about today’s winery: Cantina Aldeno in Trentino: The landscape finds its own characterization, as well as the people who make viticulture their main activity on which to base their future, their life. And it is precisely this dream that in 1910 led a group of producers to bet on Aldeno wine , deciding to join their efforts in the Cantina Sociale di Aldeno, which represents an example of the fervent cooperative movement that was developing in Trentino. The deed of foundation with the list of the members of the first management of the Social Winery documents the intuition of the farmers, aware that many small realities could have created a solid identity, capable of obtaining an image and an appreciable strength in the market. A few years later a second cooperative was born: the Aldeno Wine Union. The history of these two cooperatives will accompany the life of the community and town of Aldeno for more than half a century, until, in 1972 Cantina Sociale di Aldeno and Unione Vinicola Aldeno were founded in today's Cantina Aldeno , which was born with the aim to keep alive the historical combination of Aldeno and grapes over the years.

More about today’s guest: “In her inimitably straightforward, informative and intelligent manner, New York Times health columnist Brody (Jane Brody’s Good Food Book) gives pragmatic direction to a concerned yet reluctant readership in this essential travel guide for the journey toward the inevitable. In pointing out that there is a difference between sensibly learning to accept death and surrendering, she reminds us that our attitude about living colors our approach to death. Thoroughly outlining all attendant demands and details for facing one’s end, Brody provides facts and support for families and patients, and makes it appear entirely possible to “go with grace.” With bulleted lists itemizing what needs to be done and how to do it, short portraits and anecdotes throughout, Brody covers the importance of preparation; the necessity of an advance directive and why a living will is not enough; funeral plans; living with a bad prognosis and dealing with uncertainty; caregiving; hospice; communicating with doctors; assisted dying; organ donation and autopsy; and legacies. An instructive, inspiring and reassuring work full of compassion and humor (along with several cartoons from various New Yorker illustrators), this volume belongs on every family’s bookshelf.” (From Jane’s website) (Jan.)”–Publisher’s Weekly

More about Peggy Baudon: "I am relatively new to wine, having stumbled into it by default. I recently returned to bartending after a stretch of years teaching then followed by having two children. Bartending in the food/wine industry offered the chance to re-enter the work world in the evenings while allowing time to be with children in the day. The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.”

Welcome to Episode 994 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Alice Feiring, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Alice Feiring is an American journalist and author, for several years a wine and travel columnist for Time magazine, and known as an advocate for "natural wine". In addition to contributions to publications such as The New York Times, New York Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and Forbes Traveler, her blog "The Feiring Line" (formerly: "Veritas in Vino") is considered one of the best in its specific category, and her voice described by Mike Steinberger as part of a new wave of "real flowering of high-quality wine journalism". In 2011, Feiring was selected as "Online Communicator of the Year" by the Louis Roederer International Wine Writer Awards. On Sept. 30, 2020, Feiring was named a Knight of the French Order of Agricultural Merit. Her first book, published in May 2008, The Battle for Wine and Love: Or How I Saved the World from Parkerization, described as "an opinionated look at the fight to preserve authenticity and diversity in wine", due to its perceived "declaration of war" against critic Robert Parker found some controversy well before its date of release. Reviewing the book, Eric Asimov later wrote, "Ms. Feiring is an uncompromising judge of wine and people who can no more stomach a lover’s preference for a wine she abhors than she can the presence of a microwave in her kitchen." Feiring's critical statements against California wine as "overblown, over-alcoholed, over-oaked, overpriced and over-manipulated" have also sparked controversy. In 2011, Feiring published Naked Wine: Letting Grapes Do What Comes Naturally. Her 2016 book For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey Through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture,[16] explores the wine of Georgia. In 2017, Feiring published The Dirty Guide to Wine: Following Flavor from Ground to Glass. Her most recent book Natural Wine For The People: What It Is, Where to Find It, How to Love It was released in August 2019.

Anyone who follows wine media will know of Dan -- a renowned innovator, self-taught winemaker, a consummate storyteller. Today, we talk about taking chances, tackling big issues, and the myriad possibilities for tomorrow’s wine marketing. Let’s get into it.
More about today’s guest: Dan Petroski is the founder and winemaker at Massican, Napa Valley’s only white wine winery. Prior to embarking on his wine journey, he spent ten years working in sales, marketing, and finance at TIME magazine, during which time he also earned his MBA from NYU. And there he might have remained, but for the inspiration to leave the publishing life, fly off to Sicily, and intern at Valle dell’Acate. By 2006, he was settled at Napa’s iconic Larkmead, and by 2009, he had launched his own Mediterranean inspired Massican.
Dan was named the SF Chronicle’s Winemaker of the Year in 2017, and one of Food & Wine’s Drinks Innovators of 2022.

Welcome to episode 990, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is roaming Eataly in New York with Dino Borri!
More about Eataly: In November 2002, the Eataly concept was born from Oscar Farinetti’s idea sketched on a piece of paper. As a result, Eataly stands for “Eating Italian” which encompasses the history and the food culture of Italy, the ease to prepare its dishes, and the many qualities that Italy has to offer. After five years of research and hard work, the first Eataly opened its doors in Torino on January 27, 2007, when an old vermouth factory was transformed into Eataly Torino Lingotto – the very first multifunctional marketplace dedicated to Italian excellence in the world. And the rest is history. Since then, Eataly has expanded, with more than 35 locations throughout Italy and the world. The idea was simple: to gather under one roof high-quality food at sustainable and reasonable prices for ALL, celebrate Italian biodiversity, and create an informal, natural, and simple place to eat, shop, and learn.
More about Dino Borri: Born and raised in Bra, a small town in Piemonte, Dino started his career in the food realm in 2000, when Slow Food hired him to organize and coordinate all their gastronomic events. In 2008, Dino started collaborating with Eataly Turin, where he soon became the person in charge of opening new Eatalian stores all around the world. He lived in Japan for one year, where he curated the opening of all the Eataly Japanese stores, and moved to New York in 2010, to launch the first US location, Eataly New York. Living and breathing high quality food and Mediterranean lifestyle, Dino is now concentrating on developing key partnerships and relationships with like-minded Italian brands abroad, and is Eataly’s USA director of purchasing.

Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?
About about today’s guest host: Cédric Izri is a French citizen, with roots in Burgundy and Champagne (unfortunately nobody in the family was making wine) . His career path has not been into wine, but in finance. He had multiple positions in multinational companies and traveled a lot across Europe and more. He always had the objective to work in the wine world one day as he has been a long time amateur and passionate about wine. He bought his first premier grand cru of Bordeaux in 1993 (Chateau Haut Brion vintage 1990) with pocket money while being a student (prices were very affordable) and since then, never stopped buying, learning, travelling, tasting and discovering wines from France and abroad. His passion drove Cédric to develop his knowledge and tasting skills through a number of programs. He holds the WSET Diploma, a Sake Sommelier Certification , University Degree on Geo-sensorial tasting (old practice of focusing on physical characteristics and movement of the wine in mouth)and some more. He is a Master of Wine student and since 2022 an Italian Wine Ambassador. Cedric, aside of his regular job, runs a WSET wine school in Luxembourg and a small retail company in France and of course, has thousands of wine related projects in head!

About today’s guest producer: Frank Cornilissen was born and grew up in Belgium. Before moving to Sicily and establishing his estate in 2001, Frank used to work as an international wine merchant, in particular focusing in Bourgogne and Bordeaux. I have read somewhere that some of the first wines he bought were a mix of 1972 Domaine de la Romanée Conti bottles. If this is true, it tells something, isn't it? Since Frank acquired his first bunch of ungrafted vines, he has expanded up to around 24 Ha today, mostly under vine but also olive trees, fruit trees and vegetables.

Welcome to Episode 984 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Maya Dalla Valle, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Maya was destined to be a winemaker. In 1986, the year she was conceived, her parents, Naoko and Gustav, made their first vintage of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The following year—the year she was born—they planted Maya’s Vineyard, a 5-acre block of Cabernet Sauvignon that has become one of the most revered winegrowing sites in America. In 1992, this remarkable vineyard yielded a wine that would go on to earn Dalla Valle’s first perfect 100-point score from legendary critic Robert Parker. Growing up at Dalla Valle in the company of winemakers like Heidi Barrett, Tony Soter and Mia Klein infused Maya’s formative years with a sense of place and purpose that has come to define her adult life. In 2017, Dalla Valle became a true multigenerational winery, when Maya joined the winery as director. Committed to earning her place in the family business before coming to Dalla Valle, Maya holds a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from Cornell University, and a master’s of business and science degree in vineyard and winery management from France’s prestigious Bordeaux Science Agro. Equally important, Maya gained invaluable hands-on winemaking experience at Ornellaia e Masseto, Bodegas Rolland, Pétrus and Château Latour. “Dalla Valle is my home. It is also my family’s legacy,” says Maya. “I am so excited to be working alongside my mom. Dalla Valle is her life’s work, and what she has created is remarkable. I also know that the greatest wineries are judged in terms of decades and generations, and that our story is still being written. I am honored to be carrying our family’s legacy into a second generation.”

Welcome to episode 980, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she continues her visit to the beautiful, family-run Winery, Casanova di Neri in Montalcino, Tuscany, tasting wines with owner Giacomo Neri - listen in as they talk about the winemaking, the labels, the terroir as well as their recent 50th-anniversary celebrations! This is a 2-part interview. Today's interview is Part 2 of 2
More about Casanova di Neri Winery: "We were amazed when we discovered that the letters of CASANOVA DI NERI, the name Giovanni Neri gave the company in 1971, could be rearranged to form a number of Italian sentences that embody some of our deepest held beliefs about wine and winemaking. Could these be ‘messages in a bottle’, sent by our nonno to guide us even when he was no longer around? We’ll never know, but it’s a nice thought! Here, then, is our winemaking credo, summed up in seven anagrams. We believe that success is all about playing the long game. The company founder, Giovanni Neri, was a visionary who understood, well before it became a dogma, that planting the right grapes in the right vineyards was the key to creating great Brunellos. We have continued his legacy, fully aware that the decisions we make today will have an impact on our grandchildren and their grandchildren."

More about Peggy Baudon: "I am relatively new to wine, having stumbled into it by default. I recently returned to bartending after a stretch of years teaching then followed by having two children. Bartending in the food/wine industry offered the chance to re-enter the work world in the evenings while allowing time to be with children in the day. The opportunity to work with wine again sparked a curiosity and an itch to learn more and more about it. Although I intended bartending to be a stop-gap measure of a job until I could return to full-time classroom teaching, the realization occurred that the food and wine industry is a pursuit where complete satisfaction could be gained by pouring wine and making people incredibly happy. Thoughts of starting to build a new career in wine began to percolate. When people look back on their lives, one common regret is not having done the things we wish we had. And with a window of a handful of years until I had planned to return to the teaching profession, the decision to change course and take a leap into the wine world was joyfully made.”

Welcome to Episode 975; New frontiers in wine marketing- anticipating the opportunities in nascent technologies
Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.
About today’s session: Amazon has just released a robot that knows when to stay out of the bedroom. The government of Nicaragua has passed a law requiring businesses to accept bitcoin as legal tender. LVMH has acquired expensive land in a digital universe. Why? To build a shopping mall for the rapidly growing virtual fashion market. Hologram sommeliers and critics are braced to help the wine lover in store. Is your winery prepared for the future? The technology in our pockets has fragmented audiences forever. Tribes and influencers matter, but what counts more than ever is brand. Against a backdrop of fierce competition, changing consumer trends, and rapidly evolving platforms, brand and brand values still drive sales. Keeping those values at the forefront of the conversation will not be easy. Paul Caputo will present an overview of the imminent technology landscape and potential trends in order to provoke thought and discussion around maximising wine marketing opportunities. Despite a focus on how wineries might leverage these ideas, they are equally relevant to trade and press audiences

About today’s guest producer: Mario Zannuso My name is Mario Zanusso, and in 1995 together with my father Ferdinando we started producing natural wines under the name "i Clivi" from 12 hectares of the very best vinegrowing land in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy, situated in Brazzano di Cormons, in the Collio D.O.C. district, and Corno di Rosazzo, in the Colli Orientali D.O.C. district. All are very old vineyards on steep hillside slopes (in fact "i Clivi” means “slopes”). My background education is Economics, so I had no specific formation as an enologist, neither did my dad. We learned by studying, by traveling, by exchanging experiences with other producers and mostly by doing. My dad passed in 2020 so today I’m by myself, and overall production is now around 100,000 bottles a year, mostly white wine. Since the beginning our recipe for quality has been very simple: (1) very old vines - at least 60 years of age, but many are 80 or over - for natural concentration, complexity and elegance as well as marked individuality and strong character; (2) certified organic cultivation in the vineyard and "spontaneous" vinification - i. e. no chemicals, no inoculations nor machines - in the cellar for absolute integrity; and (3) maturing for several months in stainless steel and cement vats before these slow-developing, long-lasting but "light" wines were offered for sale.

Welcome to episode 969, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is at the beautiful, family run Winery, Casanova di Neri in Montalcino, Tuscany, chatting with owner Giacomo Neri - listen in as they talk about the winemaking, the labels, the terroir as well as their recent 50th anniversary celebrations! This is a 2-part interview. Today's interview is Part 1 of 2
More about Casanova di Neri Winery: "We were amazed when we discovered that the letters of CASANOVA DI NERI, the name Giovanni Neri gave the company in 1971, could be rearranged to form a number of Italian sentences that embody some of our deepest held beliefs about wine and winemaking. Could these be ‘messages in a bottle’, sent by our nonno to guide us even when he was no longer around? We’ll never know, but it’s a nice thought! Here, then, is our winemaking credo, summed up in seven anagrams. We believe that success is all about playing the long game. The company founder, Giovanni Neri, was a visionary who understood, well before it became a dogma, that planting the right grapes in the right vineyards was the key to creating great Brunellos. We have continued his legacy, fully aware that the decisions we make today will have an impact on our grandchildren and their grandchildren."

About today’s guest producer: Chiara Innocenti TUNIA Winery is a partnership between two women; winemaker Francesca di Benedetto, and manager Chiara Innocenti. Chiara is the brain of the business: with her economics degree, she is in charge of the commercial side.
Before Chiara threw her body and soul, and brain, in this venture she used to work in Milan in the banking world. For many people she represented a dream come true: she gave up everything to go and live in the countryside. She admits that actually, her work has not changed that much: she spend hours in front of the computer trying to get the figures to work out and with the telephone ringing continuously, let alone calculating the numbers for planning vintage after vintage; but she affirms there is really nothing quite as rewarding as committing yourself to the production of your own product.”

Welcome to Episode 962 Marc Millon interviews Andrea Milesi of Ferrowine in this special 5Star Wines & Wine Without Walls episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast. This is part of a special sub series in which Marc interviews the winners and the contributors of the competition in the coming weeks!
More about Ferrowine: The adventure of the Ferro family began in 1920 as a tavern with a shop and then developed as a cellar. In those years, in fact, Giovanni Ferro bought grapes in the neighboring production areas and vinified them. A small business that supplied taverns, families and customers. Shortly thereafter, the first home distributions also started, which took place with a simple cart pulled by a horse.In the following years, his son Gastone transformed the winery business into a commercial company. He immediately joined wine with drinks, specializing in the trade of grappa, vermouth, chinati, French liqueurs and Marsala which were among the most popular products at the time. In 1990 his sons, Michela and Giovanni, took over the company and through expansions and acquisitions extended the commercial boundaries to the Montello and Pedemontana area. A more organized sales network and a new strategy allowed a wider and more widespread distribution. If you want to learn more you can by visiting: https://www.ferrowine.it/content/8-horeca

Welcome to Episode 961 Steve Raye interviews Riccardo Ricci Curbastro in this installment of Get US Market Ready With Italian Wine People on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s guest: Eighteen generations of Ricci Curbastro have led, starting with Pietro, born in 1380, farms in Romagna and Lombardy. These centuries-old traditions are now represented by the Rontana estate in Brisighella (RA) and the Ricci Curbastro estate in Franciacorta. The latter produced bottled wines as early as the 1800s, as evidenced by labels from 1885 still preserved today. It was transformed by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro into a modern wine company since 1967, when the D.O.C. Franciacorta, of which he was one of the eleven founders, was created. Of the 32 hectares of company surface, 28 are invested in vineyards and another 1,2 hectares are planned for 2021. The company practices organic farming as a natural continuation of the various environmental impact reduction practices that began in 1980, forty years ago. Since 2017 it has been among the first nine companies in Italy, first in Lombardy, certified as a “Sustainable Company” according to the Equalitas standard for its commitment in environmental, economic and social terms. The cellar where the fermentations and slow maturation of the Franciacorta DOCG are carried out is built underground in a vast secular park. The vinification is followed by the oenologists Andrea Rudelli, Annalisa Massetti and Riccardo Ricci Curbastro, a mix of experiences for wines intended for the increasingly demanding palates of consumers all over the world. The company’s production is well represented not only by the Franciacorta DOCG but also by the Curtefranca DOC and Sebino IGT wines. The Agricultural and Wine Museum is located inside the farmhouses of the Ricci Curbastro estate, a unique reality in Franciacorta that preserves thousands of objects that talk about the agricultural work of the past. Inaugurated in 1986, it is the result of meticulous research that began more than thirty years earlier by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro. Four rooms, divided into themes that can be visited upon reservation in order to be able to accompany you and tell you about our past and today work.

Welcome to episode 959, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is interviewing Giampiero Bertolini of the Biondi Santi Group.
More about the winery: Brunello di Montalcino is one of the most famous wines in Italy, and it is synonymous with the Biondi Santi family. The first recorded mention of Brunello was in 1869, when Clemente Santi won two silver medals for his “vino rosso scelto (Brunello) del 1865” at Montepulciano’s agricultural fair. His grandson Ferruccio inherited Clemente’s estates. Although there were other local families producing Brunello at the end of the 1800's, most stopped during the early 20th century and post World War II. Biondi Santi is the only winery that has continuously produced Brunello. Now in the 7th generation of winemakers, the Biondi-Santi family continues to produce great wines. Located in the heart of Montalcino, the Tenuta Greppo estate sprawls over 25 hectares of vines on soils rich in heavy stones and marl.

Welcome to episode 947 - another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today's episode is a continuation of Stevie's visit to the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, in Italy's wine heartland. Listen in as Stevie continues her conversation with Giovanna Stianti Mascheroni and her daughter Federica Mascheroni Stianti. They talk about the winery, the vineyards and taste some wines!
This is a 2 part interview. Today's interview is Part 2 of 2
More about Fattoria Castello di Volpaia Winery: The first documents that mention Volpaia date back to 1172, where today wines are produced using organic farming. Already included among the three best wines in the world by Wine Spectator Volpaia is known all over the world for the uniqueness of its cellars hidden in the walls of the ancient fortified village. Volpaia has villas, apartments and rooms for rent, organizes cooking schools and tastings.
"The Volpaia area is a unique terroir in the Chianti Classico area. The vineyards around 45 hectares are over 400 m. above sea level. on predominantly sandstone soils rich in skeleton suitable for the production of elegant and long-lived reds, harmonious and aristocratic wines that manage to maintain the fruity aromas of the best Sangiovese for a long time. Typical wines of the so-called "Alto Chianti" and easily recognizable for the composite elegance of their bouquet referable not only to the microclimate of the area, but also to the very particular clonal selection carried out by the farm which led to the rediscovery and re-grafting of ancient autochthonous Sangiovese strains. This long process has led to the creation of 3 Crus: Coltassala, Il Puro and Balifico, each with its own distinctive features."

About today’s guest producer: Enrico Rivetto was born in 1978 (a very good vintage for Barolo!), he is the 4th generation of a family that always grown vineyards and made typical wines from the Langhe area. He graduated in wine making at the Enological school in Alba and soon joined the family business. In the last decade something happened: Some call it an awakening, when people become the men and women they were meant to be. For his, this sense of awareness made him feel part of a whole; it made him see what he originally thought were single and independent bodies, become a harmonious system made up of complementary elements that interact with each other.

Welcome to Episode 935 Marc Millon interviews Alberto Pezzuoli of the Azienda Agricola Pezzuoli, in this special 5Star Wines & Wine Without Walls episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast. This is part of a special sub series in which Marc interviews the winners of the competition in the coming weeks!
More about today’s winery: Their cellar has existed since 1932, and they have been winemakers for four generations. The winery is family run. The first office was in Carpi. After the Second World War Alberto’s grandfather moved the production to Maranello. Since then they have continued to develop, following innovation, always with a view to optimizing product quality. Farmers for three generations, always rooted in the fertile soils of the hills and plains of Modena, at Cantina Pezzuoli they take care of the DOC vines of the famous Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, of which they own the first vine registered in the DOC register, and also the vines of Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and other great wines. Only in this way can one of the most extraordinary examples of alcoholic fermentation be obtained, through skillful vinification in the cellar at strictly controlled temperature and humidity, as tradition dictates, creating excellent Lambrusco.

Welcome to episode 932 - another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today's episode is set in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, in Italy's wine heartland. Stevie Kim visits the town and spends some time interviewing Giovanna Stianti Mascheroni and her daughter Federica Mascheroni Stianti. They talk about the winery, the vineyards and taste some wines!
This is a 2 part interview. Today's interview is Part 1 of 2
More about Fattoria Castello di Volpaia Winery: The first documents that mention Volpaia date back to 1172, where today wines are produced using organic farming. Already included among the three best wines in the world by Wine Spectator Volpaia is known all over the world for the uniqueness of its cellars hidden in the walls of the ancient fortified village. Volpaia has villas, apartments and rooms for rent, organizes cooking schools and tastings.
"The Volpaia area is a unique terroir in the Chianti Classico area. The vineyards around 45 hectares are over 400 m. above sea level. on predominantly sandstone soils rich in skeleton suitable for the production of elegant and long-lived reds, harmonious and aristocratic wines that manage to maintain the fruity aromas of the best Sangiovese for a long time. Typical wines of the so-called "Alto Chianti" and easily recognizable for the composite elegance of their bouquet referable not only to the microclimate of the area, but also to the very particular clonal selection carried out by the farm which led to the rediscovery and re-grafting of ancient autochthonous Sangiovese strains. This long process has led to the creation of 3 Crus: Coltassala, Il Puro and Balifico, each with its own distinctive features."

Welcome to Episode 911; Emerging consumer differentiation in China with Fongyee Walker MW and Davy Leung IWA
Welcome to Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series.

However, the Chinese market is highly segmented and fragmented, with not only geographical delineations demarcating consumer behaviour, but also age-groups, social identifiers and economic status. This talk will analyse various consumer profiles in China and link their traits to wine consumption, both in terms of taste preferences and buying habits.For the wineries looking to build brands in the Chinese market, this will be an invaluable exploration of the diversity of the Chinese markets and will allow for a much more targeted approach to not only identify possible importers and distributors but also to gain insight into the possible end point consumer

Welcome to episode 897 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Jim Morris in this episode of Uncorked
Show notes: Today we are joined by Jim Morris, Vice President of Guest relations at Charles Krug, Napa’s oldest winery. Jim has made it his mission to remove the pretension of the wine business, leading the way with a cultural program that includes wine, art, food, and history. And he’s certainly succeeding. From a jam packed virtual event schedule during Covid, to a remarkably full schedule in 2021, and now, onto the second consecutive year of unparalleled event scheduling, including the Blue Note Jazz Festival Napa Valley.
Learn more about todays guest: Vice President of Estate Management and Guest Relations of Charles Krug Winery ,home of the oldest winery in Napa and oldest tasting room in California
Morris’ tenure in the wine industry spans nearly two decades and includes a wide array of winery activations, Direct to Consumer management programs, and sales supervision. Most recently, he was tasked with overseeing the opening of Flanagan Winery’s Healdsburg tasting room and their existing winery’s full-scale renovation. Prior to that project, the Washington native was the lead in launching the tasting room experience of MacPhail Family Wines at The Barlow market complex in Sebastopol.
Beyond those previous ventures, Morris has played an important role in helping to build complete winery experiences from the ground up, as he was instrumental in commencing the Direct to Consumer programs at St. Anne’s Crossing Winery and Truett Hurst Winery respectively. Additionally, he has been key in helping improve the profitability and appeal of both Michel-Schlumberger and Martin Family Vineyards, which saw significant increases in revenue and traffic during his tenure at each winery.
“My goal is to create a memorable wine experience for everyone who visits us,” shares Jim. “At Charles Krug, we have an obligation to share our remarkable legacy and lead the way for Napa to become a cultural hub through wine, art, food, and history.” And Jim insists that it is his mission to remove the pretension of the wine business. “Wine is complex enough. When you are starting as a student of this industry, there are really only two wines made in the world — yummy and yucky.”

More about today’s guest: As a partner at Blacoak Wine Club and Tasting Room, the mission is to provide a space to expose BIPOC-owned wine brands, while also educating novice consumers who are looking to expand their palate. 15 year nightlife and hospitality veteran, Lamar Covert obtained his Certified Sommelier certification by way of the National Wine School (NWS) via the Wine School of Philadelphia.

After becoming an apprentice winemaker at Cellar Beast Winehouse in Andreas, PA, an old world style winery with a focus on minimal intervention, Lamar was reassured of his lifelong goal of winery ownership. Currently Lamar is the founder of CYL Hospitality Group, a catering and events management team, with their sights set on restaurant and hotel operations.

Welcome to Episode 882 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Marina Marinig interviews Ivan Giuliani. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast!
Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick?
About about today’s guest host: Co-Moderator - Emilia Marinig IWA: With 20 years of international experience, I help wineries grow globally. Currently, I'm the Head of Marketing and Business Development at Querciabella.
Genuinely passionate about the unique viticultural heritage of Italy, I’m a certified Wine Ambassador and Educator at Vinitaly International Academy, with a particular flair for exciting wines with a strong sense of place and the lesser-known grape varieties and regions.
I firmly believe that sustainable farming, in tune with the land and natural environment, is the foundation of great wines, that the lack of faults alone does not make a wine interesting, but that faults are in no way substitutes for lack of personality
If you want to learn more about today’s guest host, you can by visiting: Guest Moderator: Emilia Marinig Facebook https://www.facebook.com/emilia.marinig Instagram uvawineexperience LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilia-marinig/
More about today’s guest producer: “My involvement begins in 1993 when I decide to move from Lake Maggiore where I was born, to Fosdinovo, my summer vacation destination. Initially I undertake the new activity of winemaker as a parallel job to university studies, promising to decide on my future only after graduation and I take care of the first harvest destined for bottling for local catering. In 1995 I find myself in the military service between Friuli and Slovenia and having lived the attachment to the land of these border producers like me, pushed me, back home, to definitively choose to be a winemaker for life. So I start working with soul and body on my idea of a farm, defining my personal style from the beginning. I create new vineyards on my farm but I go even further, in search of old vineyards in the surrounding areas, going down to the foothills of the municipalities of Fosdinovo, Castelnuovo and Sarzana.”

Welcome to episode 868 in which host Polly Hammond interviews David James in this episode of Uncorked
Show notes: Coming from a background in fashion photography and cognitive psychology (what a pairing!), David James creates what I think is one of the most dynamic social media accounts on Instagram today — despite himself being a non-drinker. Today, we talk to David about what it means to capture the essence of a brand and the attention of your audience, without being fixated on what's in the bottle.
More about today’s guest: “I have tried so many times to give up taking pictures and do something honourable with my life. But it keeps crawling back. I think I am cursed to do it.” David James has been working professionally in the photography biz since 1999. Since then DJ has worked in New Zealand and New York as a professional photographer – shooting bands and fashion, and only taking a short time out to nab a PhD in cognitive psychology at Victoria University in Wellington. “Make people fall in love with you before you sell them s**t.” Alongside his thriving fashion photography client list, in 2018, David took on the wine world as Social Media content and copywriter for Misty Cove Wines in Marlborough, NZ. The result is one of the most dynamic winery social media you'll find on Instagram. “

Welcome to episode 867, the last in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partners, LUX Wines and Maze Row Wine Merchant. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, celebrating the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, Maze Row Wine Merchant.
This episode has John Irwin interviewing Bernardino Sani of the Argiano Winery. More about Argiano Winery:
Argiano represents five centuries of excellence in Montalcino. CEO and winemaker Bernardino Sani is rooted in this territory and he worked his first internship in the Argiano cellar, after receiving his viticulture and winemaking degree in 2002. Today his passion also encompasses the need for sustainable winemaking. With an unwavering respect for nature and tradition, Argiano produces highly acclaimed wines that speak eloquently of their terroir. With 120 hectares at over 300 meters above sea level, the nearby sea breezes gently cool the aptly named historic Villa Bell’Aria. In 1967 Argiano made history with the Brunello of Montalcino, playing a key role as a founding organization in the birth of the Consortium, and later created the famous Solegno, Montepulciano’s “Super Tuscan.” Argiano was the first company in Montalcino to become plastic-free, in 2019. All single-use plastics have been eliminated. The idea was inspired by desire to maintain the 4 Rs for the environment: Reduce, Recuperate, Recycle and Reuse. Under Sani’s care, Argiano practices organic and sustainable agriculture. Natural insecticides are banned and biodiversity is nurtured. In the cellar, Bernardino has eliminated the use of barriques for the aging of Sangiovese in an effort to more clearly represent the terroir of Argiano. All these decisions: organics, holistic viticultural adjustments, and changes to less invasive winemaking philosophy means that Argiano is currently making the best wines of their storied history. Sani says, “We believe that the vine should not be designed to our liking but should be studied, understood, interpreted, and respected; we believe that it shouldn’t be manipulated, but allowed to express itself, to define a place, a climate, a harvest. This is what Good Agriculture means to us. I have always loved the beauty of the countryside, the vineyards, the history, and the amazing wines produced here. For someone like me who is born in Tuscany, Argiano offers all the things we embrace.”

Welcome to episode 857, the third in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partners, LUX Wines and Maze Row Wine Merchant. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, celebrating the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, Maze Row Wine Merchant. Tune in every Saturday through to April 16th as we take an intimate look at these esteemed historic producers and their role as part of Maze Row.
This episode has John Irwin interviewing Pietro Ratti of Cantina Ratti.
Fresh from oenological school in Alba, Pietro was just 20 years old when his father, Renato Ratti, passed away suddenly, leaving him to take over the winery. Over the course of 30+ vintages, Pietro has not only proven himself an exemplary vintner, but an incredible ambassador for the region, and more specifically the commune of La Morra. Pietro served two terms as the President of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani. It was during one of his terms in 2010 when he oversaw the completion of the official map of Barolo’s MGAs, formally cementing the legendary map his father began drawing in 1965. One of Pietro’s most significant achievements was building a new cantina atop a small hill in Annunziata, a short distance from the original cellars used by his father. Opened in time for the 2007 harvest, the stunning facility combines winemaking and cellar, along with a spectacular tasting facility; large windows afford guests breathtaking views of La Morra. It’s there where you’ll find Pietro in his natural element as a tireless host and a raconteur of the highest order.

More about today’s guest producer: “While Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi, who founded it in 1970, were attracted by wine growing as a way of living, their children Pierpaolo and Ivan belong to a generation that was “raised among the vines”. Both of them have, in fact, a degree in Food Sciences and are agrarian experts; they firmly support the Ronchi di Cialla policy and immemorial wine making tradition in Friuli.”
“We were one of the first winemakers to adopt integrated agriculture, with low environmental impact. All vineyards are planted with grass. Parasite control (both fungi and arthropods) is kept to a minimum degree by using highly transitory contact or biological products only. We want to get top quality grapes, which are totally free of chemical residues.”

About today’s session: Even before the pandemic, trends in alcohol sales were pushing towards deregulating the three-tier system. While the three tier-system offers many benefits to society, including economic, commercial, and safety measures, a healthy distribution system should never impede any winery from entering the US Market. A Multi-Channel marketing system keeps the distribution system in check preventing barriers to competition. Dave Parker, CEO of Benchmark Wine Group and President of the National Association of Wine Retailers, will discuss all the opportunities for multi-channel selling to allow any wine brand to legally enter the US market and the channels of which exist to do so.
About the Speaker: Formerly Dake Parker was a Silicon Valley engineer, he began his professional wine career as the Owner of Parker Family Vineyards, a vineyard in the Alexander Valley.

In 2002, Benchmark Wine Group was established as a retailer, importer, and distributor specializing in hard-to-find, collectible rare wines.

Welcome to episode 849 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Lyndsay Dyk in this episode of Uncorked
With a growing list of communication channels available to us and a shift in at-home experiential marketing, what does PR even mean these days? In today's episode, we talk to Lyndsay Dyk, a Portland-based publicist who specializes in wine and food PR. She'll give us the skinny on everything from influencers to instagram to radio, with some passionate millennial pleas thrown in for good measure.
More about today's guest: Born and raised in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Lyndsay grew up immersed in the legends and landscapes of the American West. Her sense for a good story (and a good time) was honed while pursuing varied careers and studies in literary publishing, specialty coffee, creative writing, and public relations. In 2019, Lyndsay left her role at the book publisher Timber Press in order to return to the hospitality community as a publicist at the Portland firm Little Green Pickle. There, she supported the people whose stories she was most passionate about—winemakers, chefs, hospitality innovators, and other creatives. For clients like these, Lyndsay has conceptualized and managed media events and brand activations up and down the West Coast. She’s introduced seasoned wine writers to emerging producers and local influencers to newly opened restaurants. She has created imaginative virtual tasting kits for top-tier media that begged to be unboxed on Instagram and resulted in placements from Thrillist to Reader’s Digest. In her free time, Lyndsay enjoys gardening with her husband and listening to Dolly Parton, preferably at the same time. She’s most proud of her WSET Level 2 Award with Merit and winning the 2008 Clackamas County Fair Grand Champion Market Lamb.

Episode 843 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Theodora Lee of Theopolis Vineyard, in this new installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.
More about today’s guest: Ms. Theodora Lee, a San Francisco law firm senior partner and trial lawyer, is the founder and owner of Theopolis Vineyards. Her passion for wine began upon her arrival to San Francisco from Texas in 1987, primarily due to the influence of her law firm mentors, many of whom owned vineyards. This led Ms. Lee to take several viticulture classes at UC Davis, before deciding to develop her own vineyard. In 2001, Ms. Lee purchased sheep land in the Yorkville Highlands of Anderson Valley, and began developing her vineyard. Finally, in 2003, Ms. Lee planted her vineyard, and adopted her Greek name, from pledging Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and established Theopolis Vineyards.
In the wine world, Ms. Lee is known as Theo-patra, Queen of the Vineyards. Wine Critic Robert Parker bestowed upon wine made from grapes harvested from Theopolis Vineyards a stellar rating of 94-96 points, a spectacular showing for the vintner's first harvest in 2006. Emboldened by the great fruit produced by the land, Ms. Lee, a bold and dynamic Texan, decided to bottle her own wines in 2014. In addition to bottling the richly intense and flavorful Petite Sirah, Theopolis Vineyards strikes a lighter note by bottling a Symphony, a white wine grape, which is a crossing of Muscat and Grenache Gris. Ms. Lee also bottles the unique Rosé of Petite Sirah, an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, a Yorkville Highlands Pinot Noir, and a Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. Recently, Theopolis Vineyards has expanded its production and is now bottling Theo-patra’s Cuvée Cerise and Theo-patra’s Cuvée Blanc series….

Oh, Cindy also shares ideas for campaigns that could rock the wine world!

We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, celebrating the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, Maze Row Wine Merchant. Tune in every Saturday through to April 16th as we take an intimate look at these esteemed historic producers and their role as part of Maze Row.
This episode has Sarah Bray of Batonnage Forum interviewing Barbara Widmer of Brancaia Winery.
The famed rolling hillsides of Tuscany are home to Brancaia, an acclaimed wine estate celebrating their 40th vintage. Founded and owned by the Widmer family, their devotion to the land and winery has set the foundation of Brancaia for generations to come. For more than 22 years, their daughter, winemaker Barbara Widmer, has lived and worked among Brancaia’s exceptional estate vineyards. Barbara embraces a philosophy that it takes years for vines to truly connect with the soil to produce grapes with the most typicity and quality. She treats the land with sensitivity, giving vines the time and attention to achieve their highest expression. By respecting nature and working with older vines, the signature of each of Brancaia’s three Tuscan estates reflects their true terroir.

Welcome to Episode 836, E-commerce in the U.S. market: new "post-COVID" tools, with Steven Raye and Beniamino Garofalo.
Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide.
About today’s session: Covid has had a significant impact on the U.S. market, particularly in terms of the expansion of wine e-commerce apps, sites and tools. Sales to consumers can now take place, on-premise (HoReCa), off-premise (retail) and “e-premise.” Producers need to understand the structures of the various tools and platforms supporting e-commerce as it is now being conducted in the U.S. And further, you’ll learn about ways to use these new tools to get past the roadblocks and complications that commonly occur going through a traditional agency-brand importer model. One of the fundamental factors in understanding the E-comm wine universe in the U.S. is “who owns the relationship data?” In the case of third-party facilitators such as Drizly, they do. In the case of services such as CityHive and similar retailer direct-to-consumer solutions, it’s the retail store. We’ll discuss why this matters and how the difference can be leveraged to drive sales of your brand. We’ll also parse out distinctions that differentiate the component tools and strategies of E-commerce.
More about the Speaker Steve Raye is author of the new book “How to Get U.S. Market Ready” which he wrote in collaboration with Stevie Kim and her Wine2Digital team. The book is effectively a toolkit to help Italian wine companies make strategically sound and data-driven decisions and plans for U.S. market entry.

Welcome to episode 821, the second in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partner LUX Wines. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, in the run up to the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, which will be shared on March 16 in an episode with Marilisa Allegrini. Tune in every Saturday from 5 March through 16 April as we take an intimate look at these highly esteemed, historic producers and their role as part of the Lux family of wines.
This episode is an interview with Sicilian winemaker Giuseppe Tornatore and Sarah Bray, selected by LUX Wine Portfolio as moderator for 3 episodes of the series.
The Tornatore family have been growing grapes on the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily since 1865. Deep ties to Castiglione di Sicilia were developed when Giuseppe’s grandfather and uncle worked closely with the local government to define vineyard boundaries and names of local districts. The winery lies on the northern side of the volcano, benefitting from the rich soil where lava, ash and lapilli stones have slowly disintegrated over time. The climate is mild and allows for late maturation of the grapes, assisted by altitudes ranging from 500-700 meters above sea level and strong thermal excursions. Tornatore produces high quality wines from their 60 acres of vineyards, one of the largest in the Etna DOC production zone. The vineyards have been recently restructured to improve quality and exalt the territory, with traditional high planting density and precise use of exclusively native varietals. Harvest is all by hand, maintaining high standards of quality and respect for tradition. Wines are aged in cellars insulated with local basalt rock underneath the winery. Wines include red, white, rosé and sparkling, all classified Etna DOC. Tornatore focuses on low environmental impact, with renewable energy sources. The wines are highly recognized, including the December 2021 award of 95 points by James Suckling for Etna Bianco Zottorinotto 2019.

Welcome to episode 812, the first in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partner, LUX Wines. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, in the run up to the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, which will be shared on March 16 in an episode with Marilisa Allegrini. Tune in every Saturday from 5 March through 16 April as we take an intimate look at these highly esteemed, historic producers and their role as part of the Gallo family of luxury wines.
This first episode is with Bernardino Sani of Argiano in Tuscany, where Stevie Kim travelled to meet him, visit the winery and taste the wines.
More about Argiano Winery: Argiano represents five centuries of excellence in Montalcino. CEO and winemaker Bernardino Sani is rooted in this territory and he worked his first internship in the Argiano cellar, after receiving his viticulture and winemaking degree in 2002. Today his passion also encompasses the need for sustainable winemaking. With an unwavering respect for nature and tradition, Argiano produces highly acclaimed wines that speak eloquently of their terroir. With 120 hectares at over 300 meters above sea level, the nearby sea breezes gently cool the aptly named historic Villa Bell’Aria. In 1967 Argiano made history with the Brunello of Montalcino, playing a key role as a founding organization in the birth of the Consortium, and later created the famous Solegno, Montepulciano’s “Super Tuscan.” Argiano was the first company in Montalcino to become plastic-free, in 2019. All single-use plastics have been eliminated. The idea was inspired a desire to maintain the 4 Rs for the environment: Reduce, Recuperate, Recycle and Reuse. Under Sani’s care, Argiano practices organic and sustainable agriculture. Natural insecticides are banned and biodiversity is nurtured. In the cellar, Bernardino has eliminated the use of barriques for the aging of Sangiovese in an effort to more clearly represent the terroir of Argiano. All these decisions: organics, holistic viticultural adjustments, and changes to less invasive winemaking philosophy means that Argiano is currently making the best wines of their storied history. Sani says, “We believe that the vine should not be designed to our liking but should be studied, understood, interpreted, and respected; we believe that it shouldn’t be manipulated, but allowed to express itself, to define a place, a climate, a harvest. This is what Good Agriculture means to us. I have always loved the beauty of the countryside, the vineyards, the history, and the amazing wines produced here. For someone like me who is born in Tuscany, Argiano offers all the things we embrace.”

The Es, primitivo di Manduria Doc, is immediately noticed by food and wine journalists and passionate bloggers… it divides the criticism, the Es, you love or hate it. From the 2004 vintage onwards, Gianfranco Fino obtained the most important national awards, bringing the title of Gambero Rosso Winemaker of the Year in 2010 to Puglia, an award that has never arrived before in Central - Southern Italy, (other winners Josko Gravner, Elio Altare, Romano Dal Forno, Marinella Camerani). The food and wine guides agree, buy an essay , give Gianfranco Fino Viticoltore the title of best company in Puglia, with great prestige for the region and for the territory of Manduria in particular.

Gianfranco Fino is also one of the founding members of the Alberello Academy. The association takes care of the protection of this form of vine growing, so representative of our territory since the times of ancient Greece.

Welcome to episode 794, another on the Road Edition With Stevie Kim, Join her as she continues her visit to Elena Fucci’s winery in Basilicata.
Learn more about Elena Fucci: “Our winery was founded in 2000 at a time when our family was discussing whether to sell the beautiful vineyards surrounding the house where I grew up. The vineyards were purchased in the 60’s by my grandfather Generoso, who chose to buy the highest part of the vineyard in Contrada Solagna of Titolo at the foot of Mount Vulture (an extinct volcano). Over the years that followed my grandfather and great-grandfather took care of the vineyards, selling the grapes after harvest and keeping just enough to produce some wine for personal consumption. Our first thought was that “six hectares of land are too much to keep for fun” thus we decided to sell the land, also in consideration of the fact that my parents are teachers and both me and my siblings felt our future studies at the University would take us far from our home town of Barile. Interested buyers knocking at our door were numerous, but at the last moment I took a shot to the heart. I could not bear the idea that someone may take away from our family the vineyard that I grew up in (our house is located right in the middle of the vineyard) or accept the possibility that another name may do something great with the oldest vineyards on Mount Vulture; the majority of which are 55-60 years old, while some were planted over 70 years ago. Thus, I completely changed the plans I had for my future and my family and I decided to invest in our area and in the resource that allowed my father, and before him, my grandparents and great-grandparents to live and grow in Vulture. It may seem like a story written by a novelist, but when I confided to my parents the idea I had and my intention to study enology at the University they were immediately delighted and willing to lend a hand. Especially my father, who seemed to harbor this dream for some time. In fact, I found him to be well versed in agronomy and everything else that would be needed to start this new venture. The winery came to life with the 2000 vintage concurrently with my studies at the Faculty of Viticulture and Enology. Initially, we were assisted by an external consultant, while in 2004 all facets of the winery were taken over in first person. The choice from the beginning, without any regret, was to stake everything on a single label, the "TITOLO" envisioning it as a high quality, first class wine or "cru". A unique wine for objective reasons related to the yields of the vineyards and the quality of the vines, considering their age. A unique wine to best represent the characteristics of the Aglianico grape and the territory of the Vulture, where the particular mix of microclimate and terroir transmits to our wine one of the best and most unique expressions of this fabulous area that is Contrada Solagna del Titolo.

About today’s guest producer Lorenzo Marotti Campi: At the beginning, Lorenzo did not think of getting into the wine world, and he also didn’t grow up in the vineyards. He was born in Rome and grew up in Milano, then went back to Rome where he received his degree in Economics. Only during the summer holidays, he and his family used to spend some time in their family Estate located in the countryside of Le Marche Region. Back then, it was a farm with vineyards (since 3 generations) and other cultures managed by his grandparents. Only 23 years ago his father, freshly retired after a brilliant career in the spirits business, decided to build a winery to vinify our grapes of Lacrima and Verdicchio and he decided to help him at the start of this new adventure before choosing his own wine path. 22 years have passed, and he still remains to be on his wine path. Marotti Campi is a family run business and they all cover different roles, Lorenzo supervises the wine production and fully manages the sales along with many other tasks that this profession requires.

Episode 788 Marc Millon interviews Enrica Fontana from Spagnol Winery, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About the winery: It all began with the cultivation of vines undertaken by great-grandfather Serafino during the early 1900s. Our history continues with the production and marketing of bulk wine until 1986, the year during which we began bottling wines in our cantina, thereby covering all phases of wine making from the production to the sale of bottles, thereby completely the supply chain. The vineyards have always been managed and worked by our nuclear family: father Orazio, mother Loreta and their sons, Stefano, Marco, Alberto and Mattia. More specifically, Orazio and Alberto, together with a team of agronomists, supervise the agricultural activities, all done manually, from the management of the plants to the harvest; while Stefano and Marco, as oenologists, deal with the wine-making process of the company wine cellars. Over time, the “famiglia” has grown to embrace the arrival of talented collaborators, who work in the vineyards (7 individuals), and in our offices (4 individuals). Our business is more than just a trade, it’s our passion and our family tradition.

Welcome to episode 784, another on the Road Edition With Stevie Kim, Join her as she visits Elena Fucci in Basilicata
Learn more about Elena Fucci: “Our winery was founded in 2000 at a time when our family was discussing whether to sell the beautiful vineyards surrounding the house where I grew up. The vineyards were purchased in the 60’s by my grandfather Generoso, who chose to buy the highest part of the vineyard in Contrada Solagna of Titolo at the foot of Mount Vulture (an extinct volcano). Over the years that followed my grandfather and great-grandfather took care of the vineyards, selling the grapes after harvest and keeping just enough to produce some wine for personal consumption.
The winery came to life with the 2000 vintage concurrently with my studies at the Faculty of Viticulture and Enology. Initially, we were assisted by an external consultant, while in 2004 all facets of the winery were taken over in first person. The choice from the beginning, without any regret, was to stake everything on a single label, the "TITOLO" envisioning it as a high quality, first class wine or "cru". A unique wine for objective reasons related to the yields of the vineyards and the quality of the vines, considering their age. A unique wine to best represent the characteristics of the Aglianico grape and the territory of the Vulture, where the particular mix of microclimate and terroir transmits to our wine one of the best and most unique expressions of this fabulous area that is Contrada Solagna del Titolo."...

Episode 771 Marc Millon interviews Valeria Perzia from the Libera Terra Consortium, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About Terra Libera: Libera Terra ("Freed Land") was created with the aim of developing stunning but historically "difficult" territories. After a social and productive rehabilitation of assets freed from various mafia groups, the organization aims to obtain high quality products, which respect both the environment and the dignity of its workers. But Libera Terra also plays an active role by involving other producers, who share the same principles, and by promoting organic farming more generally.
The mission of the Libera Terra project is to give dignity to territories with a strong mafia presence through the creation of autonomous and cooperative farms that are self-sufficient, stable, and that are able to create work places, thereby establishing a moral economic system based on legality, social justice and market.

About today’s guest producers: 2010. Recruited by a hotelier who had just acquired an estate in the gorgeous Euganean Hills in Italy’s Veneto region, Elisa was asked to help restore the estate’s vineyards, which had been abandoned for decades. She was inspired to express all of those elements in her wines. She discovered that Fior d’Arancio, a unique variety of Yellow Muscat (Moscato Giallo) found in the area, grows particularly well in the volcanic terroir of the Euganean Hills. One of Elisa’s main goals has been to promote the versatility of the sweet sparkling wine, which is traditionally served as a dessert wine. She proposes it as an aperitif as well, given its marked minerality. To achieve her goal, Elisa has involved owners of restaurants and wine bars, sommeliers and opinion leaders in the world of food and wine in her project, as well as anyone with the talent and imagination to make a contribution toward demonstrating the versatility of the Moscato Fior d’Arancio grape and driving her innovative project forward. Two people who were key to the success of Maeli are Gianluca and Desiderio Bisol, respectively the CEO and winemaker of the eponymous Prosecco winery in Valdobbiadene, who believed and invested in the project from the beginning. In addition to the award-winning Maeli Moscato Fior d’Arancio DOCG, Elisa also produces a still white wine, Bianco Infinito, made from her favored Moscato Giallo. The wine stands out for the aromatics and structure that are the result of the grapes from which it is made. Rosso Infinito, a red blend, and Dila, a traditional method sparkling wine, complete the Maeli portfolio.

Welcome to episode 760, another on the Road Edition With Stevie Kim, Join her as she continues her adventure in Campania, at the L'Azienda Agricola San Salvatore speaking with Giuseppe Pagano, Principal of the Company. This is part 2 of this 4 part series.
About today’s guest: Giuseppe Pagano is a successful entrepreneur in the hospitality sector. Nowadays his business vision and passion has expanded into the world of fruit orchards, vegetables, olive groves, buffalo products and of course wine!
"I’VE SEEN A BUFFALO THROUGH THE GRAPEVINES AND I’VE DRANK WINE. I’VE SEEN A BUFFALO AND IT HAS SEEN ME."
The idea for the San Salvatore Winery was first conceived in the mid-40s in Boscoreale, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. It was Giuseppe's father that had first made wine in this area. The San Salvatore winery is named after Giuseppe's father and after many years in the Hotel industry Giuseppe and his brother decided to go back to their roots; buying land in Campania in 2003 and developing the winery that we see today. They have a love for organic and biodynamic agriculture, making sure not to stress their vines, respecting nature; the rhythms and traditions of a special terroir. The vineyards are located in the Cilento National Park, it is an area distributed among Stio, Paestum and Giungano. And it is here, at 700m from the vineyard and in view of the Temples, they also have their modern winery, equipped with a 96kW photovoltaic system that allows them to minimize the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The family prides itself on their 97 hectares of land, of which 21.5 are under vine and the rest are divided between orchards, olive groves and woods, including 450 beloved buffalo that are exported all over the world, from Australia to the United States. Their plans for the future are equally as interesting: a series of outlets where their products and the best products of the national park will be prepared by women, Tune-in and find out more!

Episode 754 Marc Millon interviews Valentina Abonna from Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s guest: Valentina Abbona, 6th generation at Cantine dei Marchesi di Barolo together with her brother Davide, lives a passionate and profound relationship with wine, which for her is emotion, feeling, history, terroir and - above all - home. After attending to the Liceo Scientifico in Alba, she moved to Milan where she attended the Bocconi University, where she graduated in Business and Economics. During these years, her personal and professional training grew constantly thanks to various school-exchange programs, which took her from Manchester to Hyderabad (India) and then to New York. Her highly "international" career continues in Shanghai, where she worked for about a year for a niche high-profile consultancy firm. Meanwhile she was attending university, she also accompanied her mother Anna on her numerous business trips all around the world, which allowed her grasp the most diverse perspectives of the wine business and to exploit them in the perfect crossroads of tradition and innovation represented today by Marchesi di Barolo. Today, Valentina is one of the two female faces of Marchesi di Barolo, together with her mother Anna they carry on the dream of a great woman: Juliette Colbert de Maulévrier, descendant of the Minister of Finance of the Sun King and connoisseur of good wine. Having moved to the Marquis Carlo Tancredi Falletti's estate after her wedding, Juliette immediately sensed the potential of the grapes grown in Barolo: her vision and perception of our lands gave rise to what is now considered the king of wines and, not by chance, the wine of kings.

Episode 748 Marc Millon interviews Giuditta Politi of Cantine Politi, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s winery: 1200 A.D.: the Politis appear for the first time among the majors of Loretello castle. It’s nothing more than a reference repeated over time and more and more associated with wine throughout the centuries. By the end of the eighteenth century, about 60 hectolitres of wine were preserved in Politi cellars. It was an important production for that time, although there is no evidence about the kind of wine. However, the archives testify to a constant presence of the family on the territory and their vocation to the art of wine. More than eight centuries have gone by, since that first mention, Loretello and its fields have witnessed different dominions and squires, wars and conflicts.

Episode 736 Marc Millon interviews Teresa Severini of the Lungarotti winery, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s winery: Lungarotti Winery is a symbol of wine excellence in Umbria. Lungarotti has had a front-line role in writing the last century’s history of wine in Italy. A success story initiated by Giorgio Lungarotti, a pioneer of Italy’s modern enology and founder of the winery in Torgiano, a small town in the countryside close to Perugia and Assisi in Umbria, the green heart of Italy. A story that continues today thanks to the commitment, passion and expertise of his daughters Chiara and Teresa, his wife Maria Grazia and his grandchildren Francesco and Gemma. Teresa Severini, born of the first marriage of Maria Grazia, has a degree in Agriculture with a Specialization at the Institute of Enology of Bordeaux University and was one of Italy’s first female enologists. As the company’s Director of Marketing and Communication for many years, she has had an unwavering dedication to the identification between product, company and territory, scrupulously analyzing consumer evolution and intercepting tastes and preferences of new potential clients. These days she is ever more active in the initiatives of the Lungarotti Foundation, fuelled by the certainty that the bond between wine and culture is crucially important. Her motto has been and continues to be: “winning the attention of young people to make them informed winelovers of the future”. Indeed, she has written a book to introduce the younger generations to the learning about and respecting vines and wine. Her unstoppable dynamism also led her to be among the founding members of the “Le Donne del Vino” association which promotes the role of women in the entire wine sector.

Welcome to episode 734, another on the Road Edition With Stevie Kim, today she is talking with Alessandro Condurro, owner of L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, in Naples, Italy. Join Stevie as she desperately seeks the best Pizza around!
About today’s guest: Alessandro Condurro is the owner of L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele. The art of pizza-making has been handed down from father to son for generations. Founder Michele opened the first pizzeria in 1906 where the new building of the Ascalesi hospital stands, whose construction forced Michele to change location. In fact, in 1930, the pizzeria was moved to the current location in Via Cesare Sersale, defined by many experts and journalists as "the sacred temple of pizza" Since then, five generations of master pizza makers, headed by the two administrators Antonio Condurro and Michele Condurro, son and grandson of the progenitor Michele, have continued the founder's activity respecting tradition and keeping faith with the indications of Michele, who wanted the pizza. Neapolitan only in the flavors "Marinara" and "Margherita" without the addition of "Papocchie", which alter the taste and authenticity which are known and appreciated all over the world. The pizza place featured in the film Eat, Pray, Love staring Julia Robert keeps its authenticity by only making pizza in the two traditional ways: ‘Margherita’ and ‘Marinara’.

Since 1987 he has dedicated himself to the family winery founded by his father, Arnaldo Caprai in Montefalco, Umbria, which at that time was only an area for DOC wines. In 1989, Marco launched the "Sagrantino Project" in collaboration with the University of Milan, with the specific goal of researching Sagrantino, a native grape from Montefalco which was pretty much unknown. From the very early stages of his career, he took on the role of Director for the Consorzio Tutela Vini DOC Montefalco and helped writing the regulations for the newly formed DOCG Montefalco Sagrantino, which will come in 1992. After this important milestone, Marco starts a very long journey, which still is ongoing as we speak, of taking on multiple roles for prominent institutions in the area of agriculture, promotion of the territory, culture and innovation. Confagricoltura, Milan Expo, Strada del Sagrantino just to name a few.

Vineyards take over one third of the estate – 36 ha planted at 350 – 450 m above the sea level. Another 10 ha are taken by olive trees. In addition to Chianti Classico DOCG and Toscana IGT wines, where Sangiovese grape is the king, we also produce Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

More about today’s guest: In little more than 40 years, Vittorio Moretti, one of the great lords of Italian wine, starting from that Franciacorta of which he can be considered one of the noble fathers, has built one of the most important groups of Italian wine. A small but very prestigious empire between Lombardy, Tuscany and Sardinia, a reality with 65 million euros of turnover, 8.5 million bottles produced, 548 employees, and 1,154 hectares of vineyards divided into six wineries, built from scratch or acquired: from Bellavista to Contadi Castaldi, in Franciacorta, from Petra in Suvereto, Acquagiusta Tenuta La Badiola in Maremma and Teruzzi in San Gimignano, and Sella & Mosca in Sardinia. And now, at the top of that kingdom, it's time for a succession, with Vittorio Moretti (who remains, however, president of Holding Terra Moretti, engaged in construction and hospitality of the highest level, with realities such as L'Albereta in Franciacorta and L'Andana in Maremma, ed.), who has decided to entrust the scepter of the Terra Moretti Vino group to his daughter Francesca, second-born, oenologist and active in the wine sector since 1997, and CEO since 2016. Who will have at her side one of the most experienced managers of Italian wine, Massimo Tuzzi.

Episode 724 Marc Millon interviews Natalia Simeti of Bosco Falconeria, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.
About today’s guest: The farm at Bosco Falconeria, located some 40 miles west of Palermo in the hills overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare has belonged to the Simeti family since 1933, when it was a 25-acre farm dedicated mainly to vineyards, with a cellar in which there were seven platforms for treading the grapes, and where as many as 30 people worked during the grape harvest. Family problems, the agricultural crisis and the 1968 earthquake resulted in a period of abandonment, until in the early ‘seventies the farmhouse was restored as a vacation home. From then on summers and weekends became busier and busier. The passionate involvement of Antonio Simeti, agronomist, married the curiosity of his wife, Mary Taylor Simeti, who in the early ‘80’s - while exporting Sicily to the States through books and articles - began to bring back information about organic agriculture. Thus the vacation house returned to productivity, the property grew from the original 25 acres to over 35, the crops became diversified. In 1989, with Bosco Falconeria as its trademark, the farm obtained official organic certification. The following year the Simetis made the farm their permanent residence. For the last ten years Bosco Falconeria has bottled its own organic extra virgin olive oil, has furnished fresh organic fruit and vegetables to speciality stores in Palermo, and has often bottled its own organic wine. The family has grown as well: Natalia Simeti and her Finnish husband Rami Salo, a Tai Chi Chuan instructor, have decided to make Bosco their home and to take over the management of the farm.

About today’s guest producer: Silvia Altare grew up in a wine family made famous by her father Elio, who in the mid-1970s was one of the “Barolo Boys” who dared to make wine more like the French Burgundians. Elio and Lucia’s two children, Silvia and Elena, however, were never pressured to involve themselves with winemaking. In the early 1980s, that was a future reserved for boys. Growing up, Silvia participated in the various aspects of winegrowing and winemaking with her family but often felt that she had to prove herself as a girl. Starting in 1994, when she was 15 years old, her parents sent her to live with a family in California for the summer. She attended the University of Economy in Turin and studied international business, graduating in 2003. Her travels and work harvests in California, Burgundy and Australia led her to join the family estate after her graduation.

Welcome to episode 710 - On The Road Edition with Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is in Milan, sitting down with Diego Bosoni of Lunae Bosoni. Stevie Kim was able to talk to him during the incredibly unusual vertical tasting of Vermentino, and she got the chance to do this with a special wine called Numero Chiuso from Lunae Bosoni Winery!
About today’s guest & Winery: Diego Bosoni and his family have been making wine for five generations. The Lunae Bosoni winery is located right on the edge of the Liguria region on the border with Tuscany, in the lush Lunigiana area. They carry on the long winemaking tradition of these places, based on the principles of ancient practices, the valorisation of local and forgotten vines, and respect for the cycles of nature. Among the rows of vines, located between the plains and the hills, and subdivided into small plots of 2-3 hectares, we find interesting and unobtainable varieties, such as Pollera Nera, Massaretta, Vermentino Nero and Albarola, alongside the undisputed star of the area, Vermentino. The Ca' Lunae, is the former winery building where the wines mature and the great bottles are stored,

About today’s guest: Paul Caputo is a writer and entrepreneur. He works mainly in the wine space where he combines his passion for travel, technology, sustainability and marketing. His career started more than 10 years ago now, after spending some time tracing his family heritage all the way back to a small vineyard in Basilicata. Surrounded by Aglianico vines he spent three months living in a tiny village, absorbing the culture of the region, its people, its food and of course its wines. On returning to England he set about studying everything he could and found himself with a job in a brand new wine shop with big dreams. He began importing small quantities of wines from small, boutique growers all over the South of Italy. As his adventures continued he realised that his passions were shifting more towards communication - journalism and publishing. he was inspired to write and this overpowered his enthusiasm for building a retail business. And so, after a period of study, endless travel and a lot of reflection on how to share his knowledge and experiences, Paul created Vinorandum.com.

About today’s guest: Giovanni Geddes da Filicaja holds the position of Chief Executive Officer of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi SpA and Chief Executive Officer for Ornellaia E Masseto SA SRL (a subsidiary of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi SpA). He studied Economics at the University of Florence and entered the wine business in Italy in the early 1970s, eventually becoming CEO of Rémy Cointreau’s Italian company. After 12 years as CEO of Antinori, he took on the challenge of reorganizing the worldwide distribution for the Remy Cointreau Group. At the same time, he started consulting for Frescobaldi on their joint venture project called “Luce della Vite,” with the Robert Mondavi Corporation. In 1996, Giovanni became CEO of Frescobaldi and in 1999 became CEO of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, which produces Ornellaia and Masseto.
About Ornellaia ORNELLAIA is synonymous with Tuscany. The estate encompasses 115 hectares under vine along the Tuscan coastline. Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore is the estate's top wine, followed by Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia and Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, and the whites Ornellaia Bianco and Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia. In little over thirty years (the first vintage of Ornellaia was in 1985). The wines here are famous and coveted all over the world.
About Masseto Masseto, since 1986 is one wine, from one vineyard, and one estate. The potential of the acclivity where the Masseto vineyard stands along the Tuscan coast was glimpsed at the beginning of the Eighties. The blue clay, refreshing coastal breezes and the superlative refraction of the light guaranteed by the Mediterranean Sea all contribute to the intriguing blend of power, elegance and complexity that distinguishes the wine from the estate. Since the 2017 vintage, Masseto has been accompanied by the second wine Massetino. Both begin their journey on the Masseto hillslope in 11 hectares densely planted under vine and progress from prized grapes to coveted bottles of wine that refine in the estate's cellar, designed by architectural firm Zito Mori, which was inaugurated in April 2019. This marks the point of departure for both wines around the world, every autumn, through Place de Bordeaux.

About today’s Winery: Bentu Luna is a project focused on regenerating century old bush-trained vines ranging from between 35-115 year of age, planted to an area known as the Mandrolisai and Barigadu, based in the centre of Sardegna in the province of Oristano and Nuoro. Bentu Luna is the name of the estate which is situated in Neonelli and is the brain child of Gabriele Moratti (owner of Castello di Cigognola estate in Oltrepò Pavese). It is managed by CEO Gian Matteo Baldi. Its story is not just one of regenerating vineyards. Beyond that, it also looks to the tradition of community and viticulture in rural Sardegna. A tradition in which each family becomes a stakeholder in the communal vineyard. This 1200-hectare vineyard project is planted to a mix of indigenous varieties that include percentages of Bovale sardo, Cannonau, Monica, Pascale, Cagnulari, Carignano, Vermentino and Barbera. This random mix of indigenous varieties represented a ‘freedom of choice’,

About today’s guest producer: Mario Fontana together with his wife Luisa and sons Edoardo and Vasco are the proprietors of Cascina Fontana which comprises 5 hectares (about 12.5 acres) of estate vineyards dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of the classic grape varieties of Le Langhe: dolcetto, barbera and nebbiolo. Mario’s vineyards are located in the best zones of production in the commune of Castiglione Falletto (vigna Valletti,cru Mariondino, vigna Villero/cru Villero e vigna del Pozzo); La Morra (vigna Gallinotto/cru Giachini); and Sinio (vigna del Castello). Cascina Fontana is a wholly traditional wine estate that respects and follows the culture, traditions and history of Le Langhe. Mario himself personally oversees the entire cycle of production, from the tending of the vineyards to the making of the wines, taking the greatest and most meticulous care at every stage of the process. They are truly handcrafted, artisan wines of the highest quality and I hope that my fellow IWAs will seek them out and come to appreciate them as much as I do.

About today’s guest: The Buglioni family are grape farmers the Valpolicella’s – started in the early 90s out of the courage and foresight of Alfredo Buglioni and later his son Mariano who chose to devote himself to winemaking and becoming one of the most important producers in the Valpolicella. Starting from their first 3.5 hectares of vineyard purchased with the house where the family still lives today, the two "Teste Dure" grow their own grapes on 50 hectares of vineyards in the Valpolicella Classica and 5 hectares in Lugana, these have been organically run since 2019. A strong passion leads Alfredo and Mariano Buglioni to produce distinctive and elegant wines with native Valpolicella grapes alongside some more unusual and almost forgotten ones to highlight the authentic character of the territory.
These wines express an individuality also sold in 5 experience places in Verona and Valpolicella, where different cuisines enhance each label. You can try typical “cicchetti” in Osteria del Bugiardo, grilled meat in Locanda Buglioni or at Ciccia Bistrot and seafood in Piscaria. Buglioni has also designed spaces to enjoy a relaxing break among his vineyards and olive trees in the Dimora or visitors can stay within the city of Verona at one of their apartments.

Her engaging personality and her experiences building VineSleuth have made Amy a sought-after speaker on key issues related to wine, AI and data integrity, personalization, and her entrepreneurial journey. It has hosted nearly 100 virtual tasting events for general customers and boutiques and has participated in events such as the Mobile World Congress, VinExpo in Bordeaux and the National Retail Federation's Big Show, with an audience of 16,000 spectators.

Bringing together the talents of Cornell University sensory scientists, winemakers, a brewmaster, applied mathematician, wine educators and more, he directed the creation of VineSleuth's web applications, earning 3 patents.

About today’s winery: Gravner winery is located in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The vineyards of the domaine curl over the hills passing seamlessly across the border of Italy into the slopes of Slovenia. Meticulously maintained, the rows of grapevines settle into terraces that are dotted throughout with trees and bodies of water designed to attract wildlife and assure biodiversity. Gravner is steadily replanting to assure the primacy of the autochthonous grape varieties of Ribolla and Pignolo. After determining that stainless steel was not a proper marriage for his wines in the 1990s, Josko Gravner decided to follow the ancient wine-producing techniques used in the Caucasus and has began fermenting his wines in huge amphorae buried in the ground in his cellars in 2001, with a full conversion for all wines as of 2004. The whites, which make up about 85% of the estate’s production, spend about 10 months total in amphorae, with the reds a shorter 1 to 2 months. He insists on aging his wines in large barrels for many years so release dates for most wines are from 7 to 10 years and more from the date of harvest.

About today’s guests: Neja from the Marketing Department, Enologist Darinko Ribolica & CEO Sylvan Persolja represent this Coop in this interview. The Cooperative represents 400 families. Klet Brda is a winery in the Brda region of Slovenia. Established as a cooperative in 1957 by local growers, the winery produces, cellars and markets wines both domestically and internationally. Over 400 families are now members. Their vineyards cover more than 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres). 70 percent of these are dedicated to white varieties - particularly Rebula which is native to both Slovenia and neighbouring northern Italy. Other key varietals grown include Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignonasse and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are mostly planted on steep slopes in the Brda hills. This means the grapes generally have to be picked by hand and are therefore carefully selected. Many of the wines from Brda are said to have a certain mineral quality attributed to a distinctive type of marl soil called opoka. The winery is an underground operation underneath Dobrovo Castle. The winery was built in 1957, alongside the restoration of the nearby vineyards. The large underground cellars house over 100,000 old vintages.

About today’s guest: "In 2013, a wine guru walked into my life, and I set off on a path of demystifying the wines of Europe–a section of stores and wine lists that I previously avoided. This path rewarded me with an understanding of what wine really is…a centerpiece of gatherings with families and friends; something to facilitate celebration. When visiting family wineries in Europe, I found the experience to be like an invitation to a family gathering, and I admired the passion of the winemakers for their craft. I launched Wide Roots to bring the essence of this experience to more wine drinkers, hoping to help them in unlocking this world much the same way that I did for myself. I am certified by Vinitaly International Academy as an Italian Wine Ambassador. I have traveled extensively in Europe, having visited wine estates in Italy, Spain, France, Greece, and Austria. My prior experience includes operations management, finance, product management, supply and demand management, and engineering. I have managed organizations as large as 90 people."

About today’s guest: "It's wonderful to be able to continuously take on new challenges, so we can make an even better use of individual areas. The Alpine climate, Mediterranean influences, and the fragmentation of the Alps with their complex geological origin, create an extraordinary environment, which has given me personally a considerable task and responsibility. My family has been growing wine for generations; this love of wine-making is in my blood. I feel attached to the winery and I'm encouraging its international positioning. It's always great to see wine professionals from all over the world turning to my knowledge and expertise, and to see that our wines still enjoy an ever-increasing international presence”.

They make their Lambrusco — including their classic method Lambrusco, produced using traditional hand-riddling — the same way they always have: The traditional “dry” style of Lambrusco, with a focus on freshness, brilliant fruit flavors, and food-friendliness. They ascribe their success to their vision of what Lambrusco is and should be.

About today’s guest host: Hugh Preece is the President/Operating Partner at Salt Creek Grille Restaurants and Pickled Monk Tap Room.

About today’s guest producer: Arianna Occhipinti has emerged as a pivotal personality for a new generation of wine enthusiasts. Her rapid rise is well-deserved: she is based in the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, where she farms Native varieties of Sicily. She is well-known for cultivating wines using biodynamic methods. Arianna Occhipinti is a young winemaker from Vittoria, in the south-eastern tip of Sicily, the warm island off of Italy’s Mediterranean coast. In a region often associated with Marsala and with producing bulk quantities of full-fleshed, plummy and ripe reds made for export and blending, Arianna Occhipinti’s wines are non-conformist and highly atypical for the region. Her wines (made from the indigenous grapes Nero d’Avola and the little-known Frappato) reflect, in part, her character: mysterious, earthy and intriguing. The wines are perfumed and spicy, with a bit of a wild streak that mirrors the rebellious energy that bubbles beneath her reserved and somewhat wary exterior. Along with her winemaking, Arianna makes an incredible olive oil that is hard to get, and once you’ve tasted it, it’s even harder to forget.

Welcome to our Saturday Special of On The Road Special Edition hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is interviewing Kristian Keber of the Kristian Keber family winery in Brda, Slovenia More about today’s guest: Kristian Keber's parents' house, Edi Keber, has a history of 350 years and is a prestigious winery that started bottling in 1957. He inherited an old vineyard from his grandfather Roman and he decided to realize his dream in the Goriška Brda Region. The cultivated grapes are the natives: Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano and Malvasia Istriana. Of course, he followed the idea Wine-Terroir and therefore the name of the wine is Brda, which is the Slovenian translation of Collio. The slopes are covered with terraced vineyards and the soil is called Ponca or Opoka. He has always loved macerated wines with spontaneous fermentation, and he has been experimenting this method for years, now, Brda is the realization of it. He bottles only one type of wine named "BRDA"which expresses the land of Brda. The harvest is manual, the grapes macerate and ferment in concrete tanks, without temperature control and without the addition of selected yeasts. The maceration (grapes with stalk) lasted 5 months. After the pressing, the wine ages in oak barrels for 2 years, the natural sedimentation is achieved, and the wine is bottled without being filtered.

Welcome to another episode of On The Road Special Edition, hosted by Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is interviewing Marjan Simcic of the Simcic family winery.
Stevie has traveled here to take part in the Masterclass “Grand Vertical Tasting of the Finest Rebula Wines”. Since there were plenty of wine producers, influencers, writers and educators present at the event, Stevie was able to sit down with several fascinating characters to get their take on wine and culture in this region!
About today’s winery: In 1860 Anton Simčič bought a farm in Medana and began vine growing and winemaking. He soon opened an inn and a store in the village and also managed his own wine shop in Vienna. Over the years his sons inherited the business: Nando the store, Pavel the inn and Teodor the winemaking. After the World War II the government nationalized part of their land, the inn and the store. Nando and Pavel emigrated, leaving Teodor and his son Salko.
In 1988 Salko`s son Marijan took over the management of the farm. In 1997, in the village of Ceglo near Medana, a new and modern wine cellar was built, thus creating perfect conditions for producing high quality wines. The new logo of the farm was revealed and a new future began. The year 2008 was a milestone for Simčič winery - Marjan, representing the fifth generation of winemakers, since in 1860 Jožef Simčič bought first pieces of Brda land and planted the oldest vineyards, becomes the pillar of the winemaking from all points of view.
Marjan`s story, which was told and implemented through his wines in the past 20 years, in the year 2008 was brought to such perfection to present to public the result of his devotion - a new line of top quality wines ''Opoka''.
Along the wines’ structure we can follow the intertwining of long-lasting winemaker’s experience, signature of his character and all the best offered by the Brda terroir.
In Brda jargon Opoka means marl of aeolian sediment very poor in organic structure, whereas very rich with mineral salts.
Four wines labeled as "Opoka" (Ribolla, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot) represent a completely new dimension in the quality of our wines.

Welcome to another episode of On The Road Special Edition hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she interviews Caroline Gilby in Brda, Slovenia!
Stevie has traveled here to take part in the Masterclass “Grand Vertical Tasting of the Finest Rebula Wines”. Since there were plenty of wine producers, influencers, writers and educators present at the event, Stevie was able to sit down with several fascinating characters to get their take on wine and culture in this region!
More about Caroline Gilby MW Caroline Gilby MW is a freelance writer and consultant, specialising in Central and Eastern Europe. Among others, she currently contributes to Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book, The Oxford Companion to Wine, and the World Atlas of Wine, and has previously written for Dorling Kindersley’s Wines of the World, The Wine Opus, and Tom Stevenson’s Wine Report. Prior to her career as a writer, Gilby spent seven years as a senior wine buyer at Augustus Barnet off-licences, where she became the first major buyer to import Hungarian wines to the UK. She initially studied plant biology, in which she holds a doctorate, but abandoned life behind the microscope for a career in wine soon after winning the Decanter-Macallan Malt Whisky Taster of the Year Award while still a student. Gilby passed her MW in 1992 and has been visiting and tasting the wines of Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Romania for over 20 years.
Byrda is the home of Rebula aka Ribolla Gialla! Brda has been home to Rebula since the Middle Ages and records show that right here, on the terraces carved from the "opoka" soil, where the Alpine and Mediterranean climates meet, the deal conditions exist for this grape variety to thrive. This mix of unique terroir combined with a grape variety with deep historical roots in the area produces authentic and expressive wines wiht a distinctive mineral character. Combining an original and modern approach to vinification with the experience of past generations; the ambitious winemakers of Brda make wines from Rebula which are imbued with a special quality, unique to this region.

Ep. 645 Monty Waldin interviews Nicola Lenci of Fattoria di Magliano winery on this episode of Biodynamic & Organic.
More about Fattoria di Magliano winery: Fattoria di Magliano is located In Maremma Toscana, on a hilly landscape that gently descends towards the Tyrrhenian Sea, Monte Argentario and the Island of Giglio. The soil structure has a medium, rich consistency, it allows for good drainage and oxygenation, it also has great root penetration.These are characteristics that, together with the sun and the wind coming from the sea, the exposure of the vineyards and the low annual rainfalls, facilitate the approach to organic management. Organic management was a choice adopted in 2011, receiving the certification for all our wines from the 2016 harvest onwards. These conditions allow us to obtain wines with great structure and the ability to last over time, but they are also fragrant and very drinkable. This is a family own business, founded in 1997, and the vines were planted from 97-2001.

Welcome to this Ambassadors Corner where Ciro Pirone Interviews Roberto Di Meo on Clubhouse's Ambassador's Corner - this live recorded episode is hosted by Stevie Kim - recorded on Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast!
Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you got your pick?
About Roberto's Winery: At the beginning of the 1980s the brothers Erminia, Generoso and Roberto Di Meo took over the historic farm of their parents Vittorio and Alessandrina, located a few kilometers from Avellino, in the municipality of Salza Irpina . The property, which in the past belonged to the Caracciolo Princes, is surrounded by gentle and breezy hill slopes, dominated by a characteristic 18th century hunting lodge. The goal of the three brothers is to produce wines starting from the most widespread indigenous varieties in Irpinia, such as Fiano, Greco, Aglianico and Coda di volpe, and to enhance the heritage of cultural traditions of which they are inherited. The vineyards are planted and in 1986 the first family wines arrive: this is how the Di Meo winery was born.

Ep. 640 Monty Waldin interviews Luana Monterosso of the Bortolomiol winery on this episode of Biodynamic & Organic.
More about Luana and the winery: Luana Monterosso has joined Bortolomiol Winery in February 2018 as Export Manager. She is now in charge of Brand building and sales in all the international markets.
Bortolomiol is located in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG region, in Valdobbiadene. The long tradition of the Bortolomiol family as wine growers goes back to the 18th century and the Winery itself was founded by Giuliano Bortolomiol in 1949. Giuliano, considered a pioneer of the “Charmat” method, was the first to produce a Prosecco Brut in 1960. His dream was “to promote the quality and the awareness of Prosecco wine and make it a prestigious sparkling wine known throughout the world”.
Nowadays the same spirit of innovation is carried on by his wife Ottavia, who runs the winery together with her four daughters (Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Giuliana) to confirm the philosophy of the Brand: Quality of the product, a strong link with the territory, respect of nature and environmental sustainability.
In the last 15 years the family invested in new technologies with the aim of establishing a more sustainable management in different aspects of the wine business. Always maintaining a strong link with the tradition started by Giuliano.
In 2008 Bortolomiol took the decision to change 5 hectares of vineyards over to an organic growing system, a farming approach designed to preserve the natural habitat of the vineyard.
Today the Winery owns a beautiful historical complex, just in the centre of Valdobbiadene, known as “Parco della Filandetta”, which hosts the organic vineyard, the first winery and an ancient silk mill, which was renovated and converted into a bright and spacious tasting room.

She has experience in marketing and selling wine, conducting wine events and tastings, and helping wineries build brand awareness and increase sales.

Ep. 635 Monty Waldin interviews Francesca Coppola of the Pizzolato winery on this episode of Biodynamic & Organic.
More about the winery: Five generations of history and tradition, a long commitment in the oenological production, respecting the wine and its quality, a Winery that has been able to put into practice its own idea of "future". These are the deep roots of the Pizzolato Family, on which the whole production philosophy was founded. It has been a long road that started 40 years ago, when, in 1981, Settimo joined the Company, started to collaborate with his father, and gradually undertook the organic management of the Winery. He is one of the first wine producers in Italy that made this choice. Settimo Pizzolato was able to gain the official certification for organic wines in 1991. Today the result is a Wine that tells us about the land, and a life style in harmony with nature.
“Forty years have gone, since I started to work beside my father and to manage our Farm- says the owner, Settimo Pizzolato - Since that moment, my wish was to change-over to the organic production and to again find the ancient connection between Man and Earth.”

Welcome to this Ambassadors Corner where Xiaowen Du Interviews Elena Fucci on Clubhouse Ambassador's Corner - this special episode is hosted by Stevie Kim - recorded on Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast!
Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you got your pick?
Excerpt from Elena Fucci: "The work we do in the vineyard, as I always say to my grandfather, is not only viticulture, it is also the art of gardening and in this way we are able to provide so much care to our vines. A complete respect for nature and its cycles without the use of chemicals; even the vines are tied up with broom fibers that are dried during the summer. To me the work in the vineyard is essential (we only vinify grapes grown in our vineyard) and when the grapes arrive in the winery and the winemaking begins I am worried, in a way, that I may ruin the fruits of the harvest. Fortunately, the satisfactory end result makes all the hard work in the vineyard and cellar worthwhile"

Ep. 612 Welcome to this special On The Road Edition in which Federica Boffa of Pio Cesare talks with Stevie Kim about the Winery in the area of Alba. This is Part 3 of Stevie's visit to Pio Cesare and her Part 2 of her discussion with Federica!
More About Pio Cesare: Pio Cesare has been producing wines for 135 years and through five generations in its ancient cellars in the center of the town of Alba.
The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881, by Cesare Pio. He was a very successful entrepreneur and was inspired to produce a small and select quantity of wines from the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco for himself, his family, friends, and customers. Cesare Pio was dedicated to the terroir of the Piedmont region and to producing wines of the highest quality. Over the years, Cesare Pio built a thriving business.
His entrepreneurial spirit encouraged him to travel throughout Europe in the early 20th century to publicize and promote Pio Cesare’s wines. His passport, which is proudly displayed at the winery in Alba, bears the number 55.
His son, Giuseppe Pio, the second generation, found himself with a thriving winery at the turn of the century. He carried on his father’s passion and invested in the expansion of the cellars and the trade, making Pio Cesare a benchmark brand for the wines of the region. In 1940, Giuseppe Pio’s only child, Rosy, married Giuseppe Boffa, a young and well-known engineer from Alba, who managed a large company in Milan at the time. Then Italy began to struggle during the Second World War, Giuseppe Boffa decided to leave his job in Milan to dedicate himself to the Pio Cesare winery.
Thanks to his efforts, the Pio Cesare brand gained fame and prominence both domestically and internationally, becoming one of the most respected names among Italian wine producers, with a special focus on its renowned Barolo. Rosy and Giuseppe Boffa named their youngest son Pio, in honor of his great-grandfather’s surname. Pio Boffa, the fourth generation, leads and directs the company today. In the early 1990’s Pio Boffa asked his cousin Augusto to join him in the company.
His sister’s son, Cesare Benvenuto, has been active since 2000 as the fifth generation and recently Pio Boffa’s daughter, Federica Rosy, joined Pio Cesare, representing the future of the Family.
Today, the family members travel extensively to more than 50 countries around the world, echoing what Cesare Pio himself did at the beginning of our history—promoting the name and reputation of the Pio Cesare winery to restaurants, hotels, wine shops and wine lovers worldwide.

Ep. 612 Welcome to this special On The Road Edition in which Federica Boffa of Pio Cesare talks with Stevie Kim about the Winery in the area of Alba.
More About Pio Cesare: Pio Cesare has been producing wines for 135 years and through five generations in its ancient cellars in the center of the town of Alba.
The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881, by Cesare Pio. He was a very successful entrepreneur and was inspired to produce a small and select quantity of wines from the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco for himself, his family, friends, and customers. Cesare Pio was dedicated to the terroir of the Piedmont region and to producing wines of the highest quality. Over the years, Cesare Pio built a thriving business.
His entrepreneurial spirit encouraged him to travel throughout Europe in the early 20th century to publicize and promote Pio Cesare’s wines. His passport, which is proudly displayed at the winery in Alba, bears the number 55.
His son, Giuseppe Pio, the second generation, found himself with a thriving winery at the turn of the century. He carried on his father’s passion and invested in the expansion of the cellars and the trade, making Pio Cesare a benchmark brand for the wines of the region. In 1940, Giuseppe Pio’s only child, Rosy, married Giuseppe Boffa, a young and well-known engineer from Alba, who managed a large company in Milan at the time. Then Italy began to struggle during the Second World War, Giuseppe Boffa decided to leave his job in Milan to dedicate himself to the Pio Cesare winery.
Thanks to his efforts, the Pio Cesare brand gained fame and prominence both domestically and internationally, becoming one of the most respected names among Italian wine producers, with a special focus on its renowned Barolo. Rosy and Giuseppe Boffa named their youngest son Pio, in honor of his great-grandfather’s surname. Pio Boffa, the fourth generation, leads and directs the company today. In the early 1990’s Pio Boffa asked his cousin Augusto to join him in the company.
His sister’s son, Cesare Benvenuto, has been active since 2000 as the fifth generation and recently Pio Boffa’s daughter, Federica Rosy, joined Pio Cesare, representing the future of the Family.
Today, the family members travel extensively to more than 50 countries around the world, echoing what Cesare Pio himself did at the beginning of our history—promoting the name and reputation of the Pio Cesare winery to restaurants, hotels, wine shops and wine lovers worldwide.

Ep. 611 Rebecca Lawrence interviews Jirka Jireh in this episode of Voices
More about Jirka: Jirka Jireh has blended her passion for wine and activism with groundbreaking programming in the natural wine space. She is the co-Founder of Industry Sessions which offers wine and education through a virtual platform for BIPOC wine industry professionals in more than thirteen cities in the U.S. and Canada. Industry Sessions works with wine educators and producers to provide attendees with tasting samples and in-depth learning on a breadth of topics, often challenging the traditional lens through which we see beverage history. Friends and colleagues through the natural wine world now come together to offer wine and education with the long-term goal to decolonize wine. Behind the scenes, Jirka uses her network as a tool to advocate for BIPOC in the winemaking sphere and connects like-minded professionals with business opportunities in an effort to push the culture. She has been called a master facilitator and the hearth of the movement for marginalized people in natural wine spaces.
The majority of Jirka Jireh’s 15 years in hospitality were fine-tuned in New York City’s bustling fine-dining world. Inspired to pursue winemaking, her most recent years have been spent in Oakland, California where she currently is part of the team at Ordinaire and Viticole Wine Club who both focus on natural wine and operate with an ‘Earth First’ mentality.

Ep. 610 Joy Livingston interviews Monty Waldin on Italian Wine Podcast's 4th Year Birthday Bash! on this episode of Biodynamic & Organic.
More about Monty: Host of "Biodynamic & Organic" This time we are turning the tables and interviewing him! The one with the voice, personality, and background in organic wines. Often recording from his fortress somewhere in the hills of Tuscany… he got into wine as a teenager having worked on several Bordeaux vineyards to improve his French in the mid-1980s. His family always grew its own organic vegetables and he was surprised to find the wine industry had few organic wines at this time.
Monty started traveling around the world to work on organic and biodynamic estates (France, Germany, California, Italy) and wrote the first books on organic/biodynamic wines and winemaking. Although he had his own TV series - an observational documentary called Château Monty, about converting a Roussillon vineyard to biodynamics - Monty prefers radio (or its modern-day reincarnation, the podcast). Further information on Monty's work is available on his website.

More about Colombaia: Colombaia has 4 hectares of vineyards, exposed to the southwest, with a house and cellar. The soil is clay/calcar full of fossils shells. Dante and Helena work the vineyard like it were a big garden, the biodynamic method allowed them to work in active perception, following the rhythms of nature, helping vines reach the mineral elements found in the soil. Activities in the cellar respect the mantra "least amount of intervention as possible". Fermentation is spontaneous, using natural grape yeast. The process is slow and careful, keeping the vital cycles of fermentation, without clarifying, filtering or stabilizing.

Ep. 595 Monty Waldin interviews Luigi Rossi Luciani from Le Volpi Winery.
More about Luigi Rossi Luciani and his Estate: The Monte Fasolo and Le Volpi estates are located within the Euganean Hills Regional Park and enclose about 250 acres of vineyards growing on volcanic soil (90 of which certified organic and all of the rest in conversion to organic), more than 5000 olive trees, producing an outstanding Colli Euganei DOP Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, and dozens of hectares of woods with marked trails and paths. Destination and stop for walks and cycling excursions, with its breathtaking panorama, Monte Fasolo is a landmark in the naturalistic context of the Euganean Hills. The current owner, Luigi Rossi Luciani, a well-known entrepreneur in Padua, and his family have always had an ardent enthusiasm and affection for the area and about 15 years ago they decided to buy and totally restore Le Volpi Estate, directly producing organic wines and EVO. The estate is nowadays an elegant and quiet farmhouse with 14 rooms and a unique infinity pool over the vineyards.
In 2017 Mr. Rossi Luciani together with a friend, Mr. Fausto Petagna, decided to buy the Monte Fasolo estate too, which is located just 5 minutes away from Le Volpi, right on the top of the Monte Fasolo hill. The winery had long been abandoned and needed a complete restoration. An impressive work has been done and nowadays the Monte Fasolo Winery is a jewel on the top of the Euganean hills, visiting the winery and walking through the 200 meters long underground cellar is a unique experience to remember! The vineyards are located between 200 and 400 meters asl, the varieties produced are mainly the typical wines from the Euganean Hills, an extremely vocated volcanic area, including,ì among the others Fior d’Arancio DOCG , Cabernet DOC, Merlot DOC and the Bordeaux blend Rosso dei Colli Euganei DOC and Metodo Classico Sparkling wines from different varieties such as Chardonnay, Incrocio Manzoni, Pinot Nero, Glera and Fior d’Arancio too, you really need to come and taste!

Ep. 590 Monty Waldiin interviews Ondine de la Feld from Tenuta di Tavignano
About Ondine de la Feld: Since 2014 Ondine de la Feld has joined her uncle Stefano Aymerich in the management of the company, bringing a modern, dynamic and entrepreneurial style to the company, with the support of a young and motivated team, excited about facing the challenges of the future. A wave of new energy in the sign of continuity.
About the Estate: The estate, Tenuta di Tavignano, was purchased in 1975 by Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, of Sardinian and Spanish heritage and his wife Beatrice Lucangeli, descendant of a family from the region of Le Marche, boasting an antique tradition in wine production. Tavignano is an estate of 230 hectares in a single body which overlooks the countryside of Cingoli, always known as the Balcony of Le Marche. The Tenuta has been restored through careful conservative restoration, in the respect of the authenticity of the place and, in the early years, it had focused its business activity primarily on the cultivation of cereals, vegetables and forage. In the 1990s the decision was made to enhance the wine-making heritage and to become producers of autochthonous varieties, in sharp contrast with the fashion of the time that privileged international varieties, certain of the great potential of the grape variety that is the prince of these lands: the Verdicchio. Under the guidance of professionals in the sector such as Giancarlo Soverchia, to whom is owed the decision of uprooting the existing vineyards and the vision of adopting the spurred cordon with Verdicchio to aim for the highest expression of the grape variety, the choices perfectly suited the personality of the owners, focused on enhancing both quality and territoriality. In 2004 they took the very satisfying decision of making use of the consulting of the winemaker Pierluigi Lorenzetti and already in 2006 they obtained the first important recognition: the Tre Bicchieri (three glasses) of Gambero Rosso for Misco Reserva. Since then, the awards have consistently followed one after the other. In 2017 Gambero Rosso awarded the Misco 2015 vintage the prize “Bianco dell’Anno” which in fact named it as the year’s best Italian white wine.

Episode 580 Monty Waldin Interviews Pierpaolo Guerra
Pierpaolo Guerra is the Export Manager at Tenuta di Capezzana. In this interview he shares some of the fantastic history and wines this Winery has to offer.
The Family at Tenuta di Capezzana In the twenties, Count Alessandro Contini Bonacossi with his wife Vittoria bought the property of Capezzana, then enlarged with the purchase by the Marquis Aman Niccolini, of two neighboring farms, “Il Poggetto” and “Trefiano”. Thus was born the Tenuta di Capezzana, divided into 3 farms and more than 120 farms, dedicated to the production of high quality wine and oil. Alessandro's passion for collecting led him to preserve bottles, so that today Capezzana can boast a collection of historic vintages starting from 1925. In 1945, Augusto Alessandro, son of Alessandro, was joined by his son Ugo, a veteran of the war and a graduate in agriculture, which gradually took over the management of the estate, transforming it from a sharecropping management to a modern company. Ugo, a man of other times but with broad views, he exploited the enthusiasm and passion of his children, leaving each of them to run a business. A perfect combination between Ugo's experience and the novelty of the fourth generation. The first of the children to work alongside their father was Vittorio, who at the age of eighteen took charge of the all-round management of the company, eventually becoming the manager of the campaign and the winemaker, devoting himself particularly to the transformation towards organic. Today Capezzana is managed by a collaboration between the fourth and fifth generation. Beatrice is the sales manager, flanked by her sister Benedetta, the winemaker, and her brother Filippo, who is responsible for the production of oil and the financial part. The fifth generation has already begun to follow the family tradition, and today they work in the company Serena, responsible for hospitality, The History: In Carmignano the vine was already cultivated in the pre-Roman era, about 3000 years ago, as demonstrated by the wine jars and tasting cups found in the Etruscan tombs. A parchment dated 804 was found in the state archive of Florence: it is a rental contract that documents how olive trees and vines were cultivated in Capezzana 1200 years ago for the production of oil and wine. In the early Renaissance, a woman, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi, built the first “casa da Signori” and nine farm houses with the relative vine-growing systems; it was 1475. Other generations and families took turns on the property of the estate: the Cantucci, related to the Medici, and the Bourbon del Monte Marquises. In the eighteenth century a married Cantucci Bourbon enlarged the farm and bought new farms; he also introduced an exemplary administrative method, the documents of which are still preserved today in the company's historical archive. After the Bourbon del Monte, the company passed to the Adimari Morelli and then to the Franchetti Rothschilds and, by the widow Sara de Rothschild, and then to the Contini Bonacossi, our family, in 1920.

Episode 575 - Monty Waldin talks to Matthias Oertel
About Matthias: Biodynamic wine farm Tenuta del Fontino is more than just a producer of natural wines. It's a family-owned winery focusing on autochthonous grape varieties with a fundamental goal: producing fresh, honest and consistent wines according to the Demeter principles. "From the vine to the glass" – that´s Matthias' vision.
"My name is Matthias Oertel, I am 26 years old and obtained a law degree in 2020. I was able to gain experience in the tourism industry at a young age since my family is running a hotel. This is where I got into the wine sector and I am seeing big potential in the future of wine tourism in the Maremma area.
For this reason, I am trying to expand the offer around the wine because there is a lot more to discover besides that good glass of wine: a team, a story, a conviction, and above all, nature. Nature means Maremma – and Maremma is unique."

Episode 570 Monty Waldin interviews Tommaso Bojola of La Castellina Winery.
About Tommaso: Tenute Squarcialupi - La Castellina di Tommaso Bojola is a winery which extends for 140 hectars, with 40 hectars of vineyard producing mainly Chianti Classico, located in the South West side of the valley, bordering with the town centre of Castellina in Chianti. The historical centre of the winery is the ancient Palazzo Squarcialupi (XV sec.), where there is an ageing cellar, the direct sale, the farm restaurant Taverna Squarcialupi and the Hotel Palazzo Squarcialupi. The Tenute Squarcialupi – La Castellina Farm originates from the powerful Squarcialupi family, in the medieval period, while he started the management of the winery in 1989, together with his wife Monica and later on with his son Cosimo. From 2008 they produced organic grapes and from 2020 organic wines too, authentic wines representing their territory. Together with his son Cosimo just graduated in oenology; together they are introducing new winemaking techniques such as the drying of the Merlot grapes (Supertuscan Reale), the late harvest (Ch. Class. Tommaso Bojola), the spontaneous fermentation (Ch. Class. Squarcialupi Annata), the longtime maceration (Ch. Class. Squarcialupi Riserva e Gran Selezione), the amphora vinification (Ch. Classico Cosimo Bojola) and the vinification without the addition of sulphites (Rubisco 2020).

Episode 569 Steve Raye interviews Alder Yarrow
About Alder: Alder has spent the last 25 years creating customer experiences for some of the world’s top brands. He is trusted by visionary executives to help rethink or create entirely new brand experiences and products that disrupt existing industries or create entirely new markets. When celebrity businessman George Zimmer wanted to create his new online company Generation Tux, he asked Alder and his team to design the entire brand experience.
Alder began his career as an information architect, interaction designer, and UX designer even as those terms were being defined in the industry. As the Web progressed from simple home pages to e-commerce transactions, so did Alder rapidly progress from designer to executive leader in TUX design. Along the way, he designed Williams-Sonoma's first online wedding registry and the first end-to-end online car purchase experience for Autonation. At Sapient he helped define the company’s global user experience design process and opened the company’s Tokyo office with a team of fellow executives. In 2005 Alder founded HYDRANT, a customer experience and product design firm.
Alder has led mission-critical brand and experience design engagements for brands including Google, Twitter, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Gymboree, Cisco, HP, Motorola, Fidelity, Anki, Blurb, Starwood, Subaru, and Tesla Motors, often serving as an outsourced product design leader.
Most recently Alder served as the Chief Experience Officer at Cibo, a brand and customer experience agency (acquired by Projekt202) dedicated to creating winning brands and products by applying design thinking to business. As CXO, Alder managed the company's UX and Strategy offerings. In that capacity, he developed the company’s unique Brand Experience Strategy approach and provided thought leadership on brand, customer experience, and UX by writing and speaking.
San Francisco Magazine has called Alder “The Wine World’s Brightest Cyberstar” and he is widely accepted as a pioneer of wine blogging. His Vinography.Com blog has been published daily since 2004 and was nominated for a James Beard award in 2013.
Since November of 2011 Alder has been a columnist for Jancis Robinson. He is also the author of “The Essence of Wine,” a unique coffee table book about wine’s flavors and aromas named one of the best wine books of 2014 by The New York Times.
In 2013, Alder was inducted to the Wine Media Guild of New York’s Wine Writers Hall of Fame, an honor he shares with only 24 other living wine writers.

Cignozzi created the Paradiso di Frassina, in the heart of the Brunello wine area in Montalcino, and wanted to experiment (for the first time in the world) using the beneficial effects of music on vines.
“Honestly, I would say that success was not lacking and a committee of the United Nations considered this research as one of the most sustainable projects in the world, calling it "phono organic" and including it in the "Bright Green Book" presented in Rio de Janeiro in June 2011.”
He was a Lawyer for almost 40 years in Milan, in 2011, he wrote a book published by Rizzoli "The Vine Whisperer”- L’uomo che sussurra alle Vigne, where Cignozzi tells the story of how he began this magnificent vine music therapy project, imitating the research done centuries ago in the Far East.

Episode 560: Monty Waldin catches up with Fabian Schwarz who speaks about Fattoria La Magia, Montalcino!
In 2011, Harald Schwarz handed the baton to his son Fabian, who had attended the Istituto Agrario San Michele all’Adige. This professional training equipped Fabian to become the driving force at La Màgia, responsible for the agronomy and wine-making policy of the estate, as well as handling the entire commercial and marketing side of the business.
From their connections at the Istituto Agrario San Michele all’Adige, a professional network of teachers and former students, now producers, has developed, providing a mutual support system from which everyone benefits. This is especially helpful on production issues.
In this spirit of co-operation, a warm welcome and hospitality are always offered to student winemakers from all over the world, with the involvement of a number of universities and participation in a number of pan-European projects.
The wine harvest is the culmination and celebration of every new vintage, a time for sharing and enjoyment. This exchange of experiences is a wonderful opportunity to explore new pathways that lead to continuous improvement for all concerned.

Episode 555 Monty Waldin catches up with Hayo Loacker who speaks about his family, the Loacker wineries and their love of all things Biodynamic and Homeopathic!
The Loacker family has been running its own wineries since 1978, strictly following the principles of biodynamics and homeopathy. This means that in the vineyards of Loacker estates the use of chemistry was completely eliminated by using biodynamic and homeopathic products in the treatment of the vines. Arnica, for example, serves to remedy the damage caused by hail to vines and grapes; the Aconitum is used against sudden infections, while Silicea helps to strengthen the structure of the leaves and shoots. The purpose is to obtain the maximum possible balance of the vine. Now the wines made according to natural criteria, unlike in the past, are a guarantee of high quality.
The Loacker family still owns three wineries in three different Italian wine regions (Alto Adige, Montalcino, Maremma) with a total area of 45 hectares of vineyards. The wines produced embrace a wide range so as to be able to conquer all the palates of wine lovers.

Ep. 550 Monty Waldin sits down with Marina Marcarino of Punset Winery & CEO of Vintesa ( A wine consorzium that began in 2004).
"Punset" is from the Piedmontese dialect meaning “beautiful hill.” The estate is located in Neive, in the heart of the Langhe area of Piedmont on top of a hill overlooking the historic capital. It was given the nickname by the Count of Neive to describe the view of their lands emerging by the autumn fog viewed from his castle.
During the 1980s Marina Marcarino took over the estate and began formally converting the property to organic farming, rejecting the use of all kinds of pesticide and chemical products. Her agronomic practices include minimal use of treatments based on copper and sulfur, preferring biodynamic preparations and embracing the philosophy of Manasobu Fukuoka, also called “agriculture of not doing.” Vineyards are kept green and there is a limited working of the soil with the ideal that the farm is perfectly integrated into nature.
History: Their estate has been owned by her family for four generations. However, before Marina formally became a winemaker, the family were making wine as a hobby. Originally, she was actually supposed to become an engineer because her parents wanted her to run the family construction company. However, as a child her grandmother would care for her at vineyards and a their farm, so, she ended up falling in love with farming in general at a young age. She wanted to be like her grandmother who was making wine in her spare time.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 545
Monty Waldin chats with Pierre Jean Monnoyer of Casa Raia Winery in Montalcino, Italy
Casa Raia sits on a promontory beneath the famed medieval town of Montalcino in Tuscany. This estate saw the first roots of the Sangiovese vine labouring through inhospitable rock centuries ago. Destiny seemed to play a role in Ludmilla Temertey’s adventures while searching for a home in Tuscany. She enlisted the help of a Hermit who had walked every path that ever was created in the region to find her haven and destiny brought her back to Montalcino where she had first come in 1978. In 1997 the abandoned farm house was lovingly restored and named Casa Raia after the matriarch of the family, Raissa Temertey.
n 2006, Ludmilla’s daughter Kalyna Temertey Canta and her husband Pierre Jean Monnoyer took over the care of the vineyards and created the winery that is now Azienda Agricola Casa Raia. They restored the old vineyards with unyielding respect for the land that so generously nurtures us all. Espousing a philosophy that is best described as “the vine determines the wine”, Pierre Jean is producing natural wines that are an expression of a deep commitment to the production of authentic, quality wines.

Italian Wine Podcast episode 541
Rebecca Lawrence sits down with Stephanie Biondi in this new episode of "Voices", the segment where we shed light on some of the less-discussed issues in the wine world.
Stephanie Biondi of the Biondi Winery: Although the winery was established at the end of the 19th Century, the Biondi family have owned the vineyards since the 1600s. Maximum production was reached during the period between the two World Wars,
Since 1999, Stephanie and husband Ciro have taken over both the upkeep of the vineyards and the winemaking. They have succeeded in restoring the 6 hectares owned by the family, leading to the birth of Outis and the production of high-quality wines, whilst rediscovering the enormous potential of the volcanic ‘terroir’ and its indigenous grape varietals.
The three terraced vineyards which make up the 6 hectares are planted with traditional Albarello vines on the South-East facing slopes of Mount Etna, in the comune of Trecastagni, approximately 18 km from Catania. Vigna Chianta lies at an altitude of between 600 to 700 m.a.s.l. on a crater dating back to 125 BC and while there are still some old Nerello vines, the white grape varietals Carricante, Catarrato and Minella make up most of the production. Vigna Cisterna Fuori planted on the same crater, but with a different aspect, produces predominantly Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio. Last, but by no means least, Vigna San Nicolò lies on a crater dating back 12,000 years and produces exclusively Nerello.
You can find Stephanie either by email or social media: ciro@levignebiondi.it Insta: @stefbiondi

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 540 Part 2
Monty Waldin continues his chat with Daniele Proietti, of Abbia Nòva Winery, to know more about their natural agricultural approach.
We come from humble farming families. We have a natural agricultural approach, often quite personal, in constant flux, that reflects who we are: a fusion of local traditions and of something that is deeply cultural, that we’ve built from the teachings and influences of the many natural methods that we’ve experimented through the years.
Maybe because our grandparents handed over their hoe to our right hand and a metaphorical library to the other, that we’ve used to deepen the various agricultural approaches, treasure them and fuse them with our own. That hoe represents the viticultural tradition of Piglio, which has existed for two thousand years, on volcanic soils, with obsessive care for plants and vineyards that have always coexisted with gardens, fruit trees and animals.
Our cellar is a small country house in the mountains, on the consular Roman road that took from Lazio to Abruzzo, two rooms with amphoras, concrete, wood and demijohn glass jugs. Our only tools, coordinated only by our heads and hands.

Steve Raye sits down with Nicole Brassard.
Nicole Brassard Jordan, Deputy Commissioner, NHLC: Nicole Brassard Jordan is a 30-year industry veteran and Deputy Commissioner of the New Hampshire Liquor Commission. In her role, Jordan is responsible for conceptualizing and implementing industry-leading strategies to increase sales throughout the state’s 76 NH Liquor & Wine Outlet locations and off-premise channels. She previously was the first female to serve as Director of Sales, Marketing, Merchandising, and Warehousing and still oversees those areas of the business. Under Jordan’s leadership, NHLC has received numerous accolades, including an “A rating” for consumer access to wine by The American Wine Consumer Coalition and was named “The Best State in America for wine drinkers” by the Washington Post. Most recently, NHLC was honored as the nation’s top control state by StateWays Magazine, which recognized New Hampshire for its innovative programs and focus on responsible consumption. Jordan began her career in the food industry working in restaurants and a private retail shop. Jordan joined NHLC in 1988 as a retail store clerk. Eventually she was promoted to assistant manager and then store manager at one of NHLC’s signature NH Liquor & Wine Outlet locations. Prior to her current position, Jordan served for 13 years as NHLC’s wine marketing specialist, where she steadily grew NHLC’s wine sales to 44 percent of the overall business. Jordan played a key role in establishing New Hampshire Wine Week, a customer-focused, week-long celebration of wine that draws more than 60 of the world’s leading winemakers to New Hampshire each January to participate in intimate wine dinners, bottle-signings and tasting events. The week culminates with the largest wine tasting event north of Boston, the Winter Wine Spectacular, which has drawn thousands of guests and raised nearly $2 million for charity over the last 14 years. Outside of work, Jordan is an avid cyclist, runner and community volunteer. She and her husband David enjoy renovating their 1900 New Englander home in Manchester.

Ciao wine geeks ciao! How was this past week for ya? Over here it was amazing, the sun was shining everyday, evenings are now blessed with more and more daylight - I really do love it whenever it happens. You know, Italy has decided to go on with the daylight saving time and I am really happy about it because it makes me more aware of life in general, other than surprising me every time when at 8 pm the sun is still kinda out glazing the city with the golden light and I'm like 😍😍😍.
But veniamo a noi. Today Mr. Flysch will go back to his favorite subject: soil! And he talks 🌋VoLcAnOs🌋. This episode will make your knowledge erupt, your soil-talking skills will be hot like lava, you'll be spitting out soil facts as if they were lapilli.
This time 백두산, 白頭山 aka Paektu Mountain aka Korean Volcano aka Stevie Kim is not really in the mood at all so she (finally) just listens to the burning words of Scienza. Wel I think il professore is able to make her laugh at the end of the podcast saying something about - you guessed it - Monty and having to say ciao to him.
Riassumendo... It's another good one.
Muzaakal Guest directly from Sri Lanka, let me hear some love... for.... mister H.R. Jothipala!!!!!!! croud going crazy go listen https://open.spotify.com/artist/3gCSGLqfqjml86elSSFJOM?autoplay=true

Italian Wine Podcast ep. 534: Get US Market Ready with Italian Wine People.
Steve Raye sits down with Paul Quaglini
There are reviews for geeks, and then there are reviews for the rest of the world,” said Paul Quaglini when asked if he believed in giving wines a numeric rating (the verdict: they’re a “necessary evil”). Paul is ABC’s wine supervisor covering the country of Italy who believes that people generally get too caught up in finding the perfect wine. “If you like it, it’s good wine. Your palate is the most important judge,” explained Paul. His palate’s favorite: Italian Sangiovese. If he had the option, Paul would love to host a dinner party at his house with special guests Piero Antinori, Abe Lincoln and Antonio Galloni, while serving Sangiovese, of course. Paul has had the pleasure of visiting Italy, most frequently the Tuscany area, about a dozen times and considers it to be his favorite travel destination. He loves to travel, but notes that if you’re not too into wine, “the trips would be grueling.” Incidents such as losing luggage or a delayed flight are merely minor hiccups to Paul. “You have to roll with the punches when you travel. Those are just inconveniences that become part of the story.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 523: #everybodyneedsabitofscienza - Soil: Southern Italy
CIAO wine people! Today magnificent Attilius drives us through the soils of Southern Italy and we are living for it! Yas Kweeeeen Attilio go for it!
I gotta say that this time Steevey is actually taking part in the convo! Like it is not a monologue between Il Professore and himself anymore!
Styvy made some Confessions on the Pod Floor (Madonna reference 1), saying that just a few years ago she could only understand 30% of what il Professore was saying. She just couldn't get Into the Groove (Madonna reference 2) of Attilio's words and she would just get True Blue (Madonna reference 3). But now, after just a couple minutes with Mr. Science, she looked at herself in the mirror and said, hey, I now get 60% of what he is saying!! Who's That Girl?? (Madonna reference 4)! We await for the day when Shtevie will also have her own podcast where she talks about the soils of La Peninsula Bonita (Madonna reference 5 - and best one.)
K, sashay away wine qweens and keengs!

Although they produce wines that are very different, on a cellular level they are incredibly similar.

Hi. I've been thinking about this little space that i cut out for myself and myself only each friday. I tell you so much about my life, and yes sometimes I overshare my thoughts and it gets messy, but I enjoy doing it.. But yeah I was thinking... Do these people ACTUALLY know who is speaking here is this lil box? Well, let me fix that.
Just in the same way that Prof. Scienza wants to go deep in the italian soils, I feel like I should do the same. In this episode especially, he talks about central Italy, the core of il Belpaese, while I try to work on my core 2 or 3 times per week with no results #sad.
Scienza talks about seas, lakes and rivers, while the rivers i see are just the ones i cry (cit. Justin Timberlake, Cry me a River, one of the best masterpieces ever created.)
Scienza goes on and on about minerality and I have to say I've been at my rock bottom so many times that I start to get what Scienza is saying.
Il Professore said something that shook me: he said that even the soil material found on the mountains is sometimes been dragged by the sea. #GOALS.
A buon intenditor.
BYE.

In 2019 (as in years prior) momentum continued to build in terms of acknowledging, addressing, and adapting to climate change.

They realize that their continued success depends on rethinking business models in the face of climate-related events that represent a clear and present danger, not a future risk. What steps must the wine industry take to adapt?

The Future of American Tariffs: A Trump Phenomenon or Here To Stay? Harmon Skurnik and Mark Fornatale Skurnik has been importing wines and spirits from the EU for 33 years, and not once were tariffs considered a serious threat until last year. Now, with the Trump Administration initiating trade wars all over the globe, the threat to EU wine and spirits producers is very real, as evidenced by the October 2019 imposition of a 25% tariff on Spanish, French and German wines, based on the so-called Airbus dispute. Going forward, additional tariff threats loom, due mainly to the Digital Services Taxes being proposed throughout the EU, which the US government calls “discriminatory against US companies”. This situation threatens to bring about new tariffs of up to 100% on wines and spirits throughout Europe, and this time, on Italian wines as well. As a founding board member of the United States Wine Trade Alliance, a trade group doing everything in their power to avoid new tariffs and remove current ones, Harmon is well-equipped to give you the latest updates on this fraught situation, including what the tariff landscape will look like in 2021 and beyond.

She is exactly what Scienza needs: a big voiced asian/new yorker? Maybe. A tiktok obsessed weirdo? For sure A "I have something like 40 ring lights pointed at me in my office" kinda gal? I let you answer that. But for sure, every time she unsuccessfully tries to land a joke - it is freaking funny. Like she tries so hard it gives me life. It reminds me that trying is already winning. So anywayssssss here's our lil Santa Lucia gift to you. A brand new episode of Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, with a question from Tiziana Forni, straight outta the big apple. I think "big apple" sounds very 90ies lmaooooo what do they call it now? the magnum malum?

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 457: The benefits of a more diverse wine industry.
Audio from Manjaval Janjo's wine2wine 2020 session, with moderator Paul Caputo.
For the last 10 years or so, going as far back as the banking crisis of 2008, most sectors of the wine trade have suffered. Sectors which are seen to excel are more an exception, rather than the rule. Prosecco has been a phenomenal success, but even that curve is beginning to flatten. The wine industry has long wrestled with the challenges of re-inventing, modernising, and promoting itself to a younger audience, while our cousins in the spirits and beer industries have easily embraced and adapted to the modern society in which we all trade. Of course, it’s easy to cite beer’s relative ease of production when compared to wine, and spirit’s versatility as a cocktail ingredient; but are we as an industry missing the bigger picture? Studies from the US have shown that younger audiences continue to view wine as “dad’s drink” as well as being “uncool”. I argue that we can no longer afford to keep wine as an elite club and must find a way to diversify our target audience. We only need to look to the success of other alcoholic beverage categories, to see the correlation between sales figures and their marketing campaigns.

If you're looking to get the time and attention of a potential importer in the United States having relevant tasting scores can make all the difference.

Veteren podcasters Monty Waldin (The Italian Wine Podcast) and Lawrence Francis (Interpreting Wine) are joined by fellow wine writer and audio enthusiast Paul Caputo to discuss the future of audio in an increasingly digital wine industry.

Wine has always been associated with what we taste and smell, can it be what we hear as well?

Questions from David Pinzolo, cofounder of Three Tier Partners:
Do you foresee a far-reaching change in the trellising systems used in vineyards away from vertical training and a return to pergola/horizontal systems as a result of climate change?
If so how would you expect the characteristics of the resulting grapes to change assuming the growers are continuing to focus on quality and not quantity so the new vineyards are set up to carry "proper yields" and are planted to the proper vine density per hectare?
What do you think of the concept of wild yeast and/or spontaneous fermentations with the idea that doing so gives the wines more product specificity? I have heard many producers talk about this practice with the belief that it works a little bit like a zip code so if done regularly and scrupulously it will yield wines that will speak of the area but even more so the vineyard and the specific winery. Do you agree?
How should one think of the most recent studies published in the US which seem to indicate that once commercial yeasts have been used in the fermentation area they are so aggressive that fermentations can be started spontaneously or using indigenous yeasts but in short order the ambient commercial strains will overtake the wild strains and the fermentation will effectively become one under the control of the non-native strains?
What is the difference, in your opinion, between genetically engineered vines and vines that are modified via more traditional crossing and propagation methods? Are the two essentially the same except that, in a very simplified fashion, the former involves a specific question and the attempt to reach the answer by working on the DNA sequence of the plant whereas the latter involves taking two plants with desirable characteristics mating them and hoping that those desirable characteristics will emerge in the resulting "offspring?”
Thanks, in advance, should you decide to answer one or more of my questions.
Cheers!
