Welcome to Episode 1593 in which host Victoria Cece interviews Riccardo Carpini of I Carpini Winery this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about the winery What makes wines great is only the infinite patience of time, especially if you first worked in a natural, holistic way, conceiving and designing the vineyard as a harmonious ecosystem. This is the philosophy espoused by Paolo Carlo Ghislandi and his son Riccardo in the splendor of the Colli Tortonesi, home of Timorasso: a great white, which owes its exuberance and its ability to evolve to a noble soil of marine origin, from thermal waters. Loyalty and courage: from Ghislandi, also the first sparkling Timorasso. In the I Carpini estate, which has always been organic and now also certified Bio (not to mention the GreenCare recognition for the energy obtained from renewable sources), the vocation for great wines is based on the instinct that guides the winemaker in interpreting soils, seasons and varieties such as Barbera, which here achieves unthinkable results thanks to very long refinements. Those that then meet steel, wood and even amphora are truly special musts, as in the case of the surprising Timox. Minerality and flavor: glasses that excite, enhancing the passionate research from which they are born, to become truly unique. Connect: Website icarpini.it/en/ 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. A fool for history, you can find her reading up about ancient grape varietals or wandering around a little Italian town eating everything in sight, under her alias Slutti Spaghetti.

Welcome to Episode 1590, where Prof. Scienza discusses his upcoming seminar on wine2wine Business Forum 2023, What Does ‘Natural’ Mean In Wine? How To Engage Wine Lovers With Science. The seminar’s abstract: The European Commission has prohibited the use of the words “natural wine” on labels in Europe. Why? Primarily because there exists an underlying misunderstanding about what “natural” actually refers to in the wine sector. One side of the argument sees “natural” wines as those with zero interventions (i.e., no chemicals, no sulfites, no pesticides, etc.), while forgetting that the harvest, fermentation and bottling processes all involve human intervention. The other side of the argument says the only wines that are truly “natural” must be those made from wild vines with no genetic selection over time – and these wines simply do not exist. While both arguments can be viewed as extreme, both have at heart a desire for sustainability, care for the environment and attention to the health of consumers. Recent trends, especially among young/new wine consumers and often fuelled by social media, point to an emphasis on the desire for “wholesome” food and beverage products that demonstrate a respect for nature and consumers’ health. These trends are not new, but the escalation of focus on these issues has caused a battle with existing consumers who value and recognize the key sensory references basic to the traditional evaluation of wine. Producers of “natural” wines contribute to the confusion by ignoring both sides of the argument and insisting that their winemaking choices stem solely from their beliefs about how wines should be made. Is “natural” wine a myth? A marketing ploy? The darling of social media? If we focus on the “naturalness” of wine, do we risk foregoing ground-breaking research on precision viticulture, technique and technology that could represent the most effective way to enhance the terroir while respecting environmental and economic sustainability? How do we combat fake news and alarmism? We must address the great shortage of trainers and communicators who combine technical skills with the ability to make themselves not only understood, but also to fascinate those who listen or read. If you want to learn more about the Professor: The one who checks all the facts and regulates when we mistakenly type "Verdicchio" in place of "Vermentino.” Attilio Scienza is a full professor at the University of Milan in the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences where he teaches courses on genetic improvements to the vine; he also teaches Viticulture in the Master’s program of the University of Turin in Asti. He has been the lead for many national research projects in the field of physiology, agricultural techniques, and vine genetics. As the author of over 350 publications on vine and viticulture in national and international journals, you can bet he knows his stuff!

Welcome to Episode 1589; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview is between Joy Livingston and Enrico Mandirola of Mandirola Vini Stevie Kim and her team traveled 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 history of Mandirola wine originates in 1913 when my great-grandfather Enrico purchased a company founded at the beginning of the 19th century and known with the name of “ Il Muntagnei ” (which in the local dialect means “small mountain”). The property then consisted of approximately 10/12 hectares, mostly cultivated with vines, wheat and corn. Later, in the 1950s, my grandfather Giovanni together with his sons Lino, Mario, Bruno and Giorgio continued the company and began producing small quantities of wine. Only a small part was sold directly, the bulk of the production ended up at the cooperative winery. Over the next twenty years the company expanded. Land is acquired in the municipality of Momperone and in the Piani di Casasco area. Here, 12 hectares of land, mostly woodland, were purchased. On this surface, the largest plum plantation in Piedmont will later be built, with approximately 4,000 plants. Nowadays these lands represent one of the two main bodies of the company. In Casasco another 2 hectares of land, adjacent to the existing vineyards, will form the fields called "Vigna grande" and "Saröre". Between the 1980s and the end of the last century, the most significant events were the purchase of the “Lù della Costa” field, on which a Timorasso vineyard was placed in 1992, and later in 1998, the planting of the plot “Saröre” in Barbera and Moscato. Only in the last decade did the acquisition of the historic Timorasso vineyard, called "Tantèi" and the plot of land " Il Becco ", so called because of its characteristic triangle shape, date back to the last decade. Today the company consists of approximately 30 hectares, 11 of which are planted with vineyards, 11 of arable land, approximately 2 with orchards and 6 with forests.

Welcome to Episode 1588, Crisis of international wine PR with Francesco Minetti (Translated in English). 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 event, held annually in Verona, Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals gather to develop and expand their wine business worldwide. Abstract: Wine communication has always aimed to ensure visibility and reputation, thus allowing growth in terms of volume and value. While wine brands have increasingly sought visibility and reputation in recent years, the traditional players who can skillfully meet this need have significantly decreased in number. At the same time, the amount of easily accessible content on corporate social media sites and channels has grown exponentially. Unfortunately, these types of content rarely acquire visibility, thus creating little added value for the brand. So, can we talk about a global wine PR crisis? What kind of strategies can be adopted to handle public relations in a timely manner? More about today’s speaker: Francesco Minetti Francesco was born in Alba and is the owner and CEO of Well Com, the largest Italian wine communication agency. He has contributed to the international development of some of the most famous Italian brands, working for Protection Consortiums, large companies and boutique wineries. Co-presenter of the podcast “La retroetichetta”, he has developed a strategic methodology called identity-centered design and carries out academic research and mentoring for agri-food start-ups. After graduating with honors in Economics from Bocconi, he worked on financial market infrastructure in the London Stock Exchange group in Italy, England and Mongolia. For the past 10 years, he has lived between the Langhe and Milan. In addition to gastronomy and travel, he is passionate about personal growth, music and design.

These results have been achieved thanks to the care with which all our workers manage the vineyards and to the professionalism of our winemaker, Salvatore Rizzuto, graduated in Alba and with experience in Bordeaux and Langhe. The sophisticated and modern packaging is another distinctive feature of the products Al-Cantàra, whose unmistakable labels are embellished by the suggestive representations of young Sicilian artists, among which lately Annachiara Di Pietro, that exalt the traditions, the culture and the Etna territory.

Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. More about today’s winery: Grandfather Ferruccio was a miller, but his real passion was farming, especially winegrowing. In 1957 he bought the house and the vineyard in the Rocca Bernarda hills, initially focusing on the production of the Friuli white then called Tocai, a wine that goes perfectly with whatever you're eating. We know all this from the stories told by Ferruccio's son Arturo, who took part in that move along with the rest of the family, uprooting from the little town of Vencò, where the mill was located, and settling in what is now the Corno di Rosazzo wine estate. During the 1980s it was Arturo's son, Adriano, who took over the winery, choosing a peacock as a symbol of the winery, and launching the first bottles on the market. Today, the winery is headed by Adriano and his wife Giuliana, along with his cousin Ariedo, who joined the company as wine technician.

They are cultivated by hand using bio-dynamic principles and the yield rarely exceeds 2 tonnes (2.6 hl) per hectare. Primitivo Old Vines & Primitivo La Signora come from the oldest bush vines. They are testimony to the biodiversity in this area, due mainly to the survival of the old vines, children of the traditional "massali" selection in vineyards practiced over many years.

Welcome to Episode 1561 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 Ayana Misawa More about today’s winery Japan has four seasons that transition seamlessly and vividly. The sensitivity to delicate flavours and careful, robust techniques cultivated under the Japanese cultural climate have become characteristics of Japanese culture. Grace Wine aims to pick out Japan's best and embrace it in its wines. We select vineyards based on the amount of sunlight, diurnal temperature differences, drainage, wind flow, and other factors, and our grape growing has been devised in constant dialogue with natural conditions. Harvesting is done by hand with careful and thorough grape selection. The winery strives to bring out the full potential of the grapes nurtured in the vineyards. By weaving together years of effort, the family business has been carrying on for almost a century. Japanese winemaking is intimately linked to local agriculture, and Japanese handicrafts are honest, thorough and solid. In 2014, Grace's white wine Koshu opened the doors to the world, and we will continue to bring pleasure and soothe to people by promoting winemaking that expresses the best of Japan.

Welcome to Episode 1563 in which host Victoria Cece interviews Lorenzo Piccin Grifalco of Grifalco Winery this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about the winery The Grifalco company was founded in 2004 by the desire of Fabrizio and Cecilia Piccin to start a new path after having produced Nobile di Montepulciano for 20 years, focusing on what is considered the most important grape variety in southern Italy; the project is currently carried out by their sons Lorenzo and Andrea. The company has a surface of 16 hectares with age of the vineyards ranging from 10 years up to 80 years, divided into several municipalities of the Vulture, this because being able to work with different land allows you to have greater complexity in the wines that are produced. To date, the vineyards are located in the municipalities of Maschito, Forenza, Ginestra and Venosa, where the cellar also resides. Lorenzo, 30, studied Viticulture and Oenology in Alba and takes care of all the company’s production, from the management of the certified organic vines to everything that follows, once the grapes are brought to the cellar to turn them into wine. Andrea, 26, takes care of the commercial, the image of the company, the relationship with the press and the support abroad of our importers. Connect: Website: grifalcovini.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 1553 in which host Victoria Cece interviews Sabrina Faricelli & Samuele Radica of Tenuta Arabona Organic Wines this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about the winery Tenuta Arabona, founded in 2006, is the prosecution of the farm that my parents, Pasquale and Dina, passionate winemakers, have created in the late 60’s.After completing my studies in farming, I have completely dedicated myself to the company by increasing its size and starting a slow and deep restructuring. The company, still family owned, covers an area of 20 hectares of vineyards and approximately 1.5 hectares of olive groves. I cultivate typical Abruzzo’s vines such as Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Pecorino, and international vine such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Since 1991 I adopted the methods of organic farming and, in 2006, with my wife Maria Antonietta, I realized a dream pursued for a long time: transform naturally all the products of our land, to offer to our customers a product of natural excellence. Connect: Website: www.tenutaarabona.it/ 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. A fool for history, you can find her reading up about ancient grape varietals or wandering around a little Italian town eating everything in sight, under her alias Slutti Spaghetti.

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 Sordo 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.
