Plus, you'll get to hear all about the new Chianti Classico vintages, straight from some of the amazing winemakers I managed to chat with for a quick interview.

Episode 026 | Fontodi - Young. Brave. Full of energy. A chat with Margherita Manetti
A chat with Margherita Manetti about family history, working biodynamically, the legendary Flaccianello, and the new generation at Fontodi. We're sitting with a view of the Conca d'Oro, a glass of Chianti Classico in hand – and suddenly it's clear: it's not just wine growing here, it's the future.
Episode 025 | Sophie Conte on Respect, Terroir, and Dreams in Tregole
In this episode, I'm visiting Sophie Conte at the Tregole winery in Tuscany. At 520 meters high, Sophie tells me how she went from marketing to wine production and brought the centuries-old family estate back to life. You'll find out why 2023 was an especially challenging year, how Sangiovese grows at extreme altitudes, the fascinating history of Tregole since the Etruscans, and how her unique labels came to be. It's an authentic wine story from Tuscany with a winemaker who perfectly blends tradition and innovation.
Episode 024 | Monia Piccini on Sangiovese and her Fairytale Castle
In this podcast episode, I'm meeting Monia Piccini at the Il Palagio di Panzano winery – a small, family-run estate in the heart of Tuscany. With a view of the famous Conca d’Oro, we chat about the 2020 vintage, the importance of Sangiovese, about soils, vines – and why some wines tell really personal stories.
Monia shares honest insights into her life as a winemaker, talking about her grandmother, her daughters, and the passion with which she and her husband Franco live for wine and hospitality.
In this episode, I want to dive into the most important ingredient in Chianti Classico: the Sangiovese grape. After all, every Chianti Classico has to have at least 80% Sangiovese, and more and more winemakers are even choosing to make their Chianti Classico purely from Sangiovese grapes…
