Welcome to Episode 1427 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse’s Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Michele Longari interviews Giulia Pedrini. 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? 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: @MicheleTLongari Instagram: @micheletlongari Twitter: @MicheleTLongari LinkedIn: @micheletlongari Website: haywines.co.uk Guest Bio – Giulia Pedrini Giulia has been part of the magical world of wine since she was a little girl, when she was playing with her dolls in the cellar while her dad was making wine. She never considered doing anything else in her life rather than working in the wine industry, and we could say she was literally born to do this job! She is a wine professional ‘ultimate level’ as after she graduated ‘enotecnico’ at the istituto agrario of San Michele, she went off to London where she studied and eventually got the WSET diploma. Once back in Trentino she realised that, if she really wanted to make a difference in their family business, she had to fill some gaps of knowledge in management and marketing, therefore she went back to Uni and took a degree in Business Management. Currently, she is mainly taking care of the commercial side of the business, but during the harvest she is also helping in production.

Welcome to episode 1423, in which host Victoria Cece interviews James Marshall 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: Belgian-born, James is the winemaker at Tenuta Licinia - a small winery in the woods about 5 km from the village of Lucignano in the Province of Arezzo. He was pursuing his doctorate in moral philosophy at the University of Oxford in the UK but midway through he had the opportunity to take over as winemaker at the vineyard which was re-initiated by his grandfather about 15 years ago. He developed an interest in some of the intellectual puzzles surrounding winemaking as well as some of the broader questions surrounding wine - soon he became very interested in the relationship between subsoil structures and wine. He also grew a curiosity about the right way to think about wine quality and how to translate that way of thinking into the work we do in the vineyard. But, he remarks - his Italian, despite living in Tuscany for several years now, is still exceptionally mediocre. To learn more visit: Website: tenutalicinia.com Linkedin: Facebook: Instagram: @tenuta.licinia 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.

Transformed into a villa, during the Renaissance it was the summer residence of noble Florentine families and the bishops of Florence. It was purchased in 1826 by Michele Giuntini, a successful Florentine banker and ancestor of the current owner Francesco Giuntini, who led the company from 1957 to 1997. Having always understood the value of the Chianti Rufina area, with stubborn passion he has lavished great energy in its valorisation. Francesco was among the first in Tuscany to produce wine from Sangiovese grapes alone and to link the company's flagship wine to a specific single vineyard: Bucerchiale. In 1979 he produced the first vintage of Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale. In 1978, he was the first to place his trust in Franco Bernabei, an internationally renowned wine consultant, realizing his great abilities. Today the property is managed by Silvia and Federico, children of Franco Masseti, farmer in Selvapiana from 1953 to 1990. Silvia and Federico were adopted by Francesco in 1994 to give continuity to their work. Selvapiana currently has an extension of about 250 hectares of which 58 hectares of vineyards, 36 hectares of olive groves and 140 of woods.

Today Joy Livingston interviews Hannes Rottensteiner from the Rottensteiner Family Wineries Stevie Kim and her team travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany this March to collaborate with ITA, the Italian Trade Agency. ITA was organizing some incredible Masterclasses featuring the best wines Italy has to offer. Each masterclass was led by the Master Sommelier Eros Teboni (awarded Best Sommelier Worldwide in 2018), and they wanted us there to document the amazing 3 days! Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. About today’s guest and winery: It has always been clear to Hannes that he wanted to remain faithful to wine. He is the cellar master at the family wineries, working with his father, together they produce 16 different varieties of white and red wine. Hannes took on the job as oenologist in 2001 while his father concentrates on the viticulture aspect. THE ESTATE “More than 50 years ago our grandfather Hans had a dream: to produce his own wine. 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: www.rottensteiner.wine/it/ More about the interviewer: Joy Livingston is the Producer of Italian Wine Podcast.

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.

Stevie Kim and her team travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany this March to collaborate with ITA, the Italian Trade Agency. ITA was organizing some incredible Masterclasses featuring the best wines Italy has to offer. Each masterclass was led by the Master Sommelier Eros Teboni (awarded Best Sommelier Worldwide in 2018), and they wanted us there to document the amazing 3 days! Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. More about today’s guest and winery: "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-incresing international presence”.
