She is at the beautiful Feudo Maccari speaking with Amedeo and Alberto CuseriMore 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: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!
