Italian Wine Podcast

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: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 1364; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Dusseldorf, Germany. Today Joy Livingston interviews Elise Rialland of Casale del Giglio.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 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.To learn more visit:Website: www.casaledelgiglio.itInstagram: www.instagram.com/casaledelgiglio/Facebook: www.facebook.com/CasaledelGiglioVini/Twitter: twitter.com/CasaleGiglioMore about the interviewer:Joy Livingston is the Producer of Italian Wine Podcast.

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: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. 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.To learn more visit:Instagram: @sluttispaghettiTwitter: @sluttispaghettiLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-cece/Let's keep in touch!
