Ein Sommelier von Format. Alfred Voigt war nicht nur einer der dienstlängsten und beständigsten Weinkellner in Deutschland, sondern auch eine Institution deutscher Weinfachmenschen – ein Virtuose des feinsinnig abstrusen Humors, ein Architekt des pointierten Schweigens und der akribisch inszenierten Eskalation im Weinglas und am Tisch seiner Gäste. Geboren in einer Zeit, als der Genuss noch eine eher beiläufige Randnotiz des Alltags war, entwickelte Alfred Voigt früh ein tiefes Verständnis für jene eigenartigen Momente des gesellschaftlichen Miteinanders, in denen der Mensch – oder besser gesagt, der Deutsche im Besonderen – in vollem Umfang an der Wahl des richtigen Weines scheitert. Ein Rotwein, der zum Fisch bestellt wird, ein Schaumwein, der mit Eiseskälte das Aroma erstickt, oder eine allzu unbedarfte Frage nach der „guten Flasche“ – Alfred Voigt wusste, dass das Drama des Genusses oft im winzigen Detail liegt, zwischen erwartungsvollem Nippen und ratlosem Stirnrunzeln. Seine Empfehlungen – seien es große Nebbiolo, die auf der Zunge ganze Geschichten erzählen, gereifte Weine aus dem Loire-Tal, die dem Gast das Reframing der eigenen Geschmackswelt abverlangen, oder rare Tropfen, die mehr über den Winzer als über das Weinglas verraten – waren keine bloßen Serviervorschläge, sondern fein ziselierte Anleitungen zur Erweiterung des kulinarischen Horizonts. Alfred verstand und versteht es meisterhaft, aus einer einzigen unauffälligen Bemerkung eines Gastes ein sensorisches Erlebnis zu entfalten – ein Talent, das ihn nicht nur als Sommelier, sondern auch als Meister des gastronomischen Dialogs auszeichnete. Seine Sprache – ein wohltemperiertes Bouquet aus fachlicher Präzision und feinsinnigem Understatement – bot eine Bühne für all jene kleinen Katastrophen der Weinkultur, die nur der wirklich Geduldige mit Contenance erträgt und der wirklich Geübte mit einem nachsichtigen Lächeln begleitet. Und so bleibt festzustellen: Alfred Voigt hat der deutschen Gastronomie nicht nur exzellente Weinempfehlungen, unvergessliche Genussmomente und die Kunst des perfekten Timings hinterlassen, sondern vor allem eine große Wahrheit: Ein Leben ohne guten Wein ist möglich – aber sinnlos.

Ihre Stimme ist ruhig und durchdringend, und wenn sie spricht, dann fühlt man sich angehoben und zugleich sanft zurechtgewiesen. In diesem Moment hat man das Gefühl, als könne man sie alles fragen oder alles mit ihr besprechen. Es ist, als hätte sie die Sorgen und die Freude der Menschheit auf eine Weise in sich aufgenommen, die sie von innen heraus leuchten lässt. Gibt es wirklich noch Menschen wie Nina Mann? Ganz groß geschrieben muss man attestieren: LEIDER NICHT MEHR VIELE. Besondere Menschen wie Nina, die eine derartige würdige Demut, eine devote Erhabenheit oder vielleicht besser formuliert, ehrfurchtsvolle Hingabe innehaben, scheint man nur einmal im Leben zu finden. Und sie liebt, was sie tut. Es ist so schön, das zu spüren. Neben dem, dass sie schon so unfassbar viel erreicht hat, ist sie noch immer so herrlich neugierig und teilt ihre Begeisterung mit jeder Weinbeschreibung. Sie lässt uns an ihrer Weinleidenschaft, an ihrer Freude am Gastgeben teilhaben und teilt ihr gastronomisches Herz mit uns. Ihre Hingabe zeigt sich nicht in aufdringlicher Selbstlosigkeit, sondern in einer Art von Bescheidenheit, die Raum für andere schafft. Wer ihr begegnet, erkennt in ihr eine wahre Schönheit, die sich aus Hingabe, Stärke und Weisheit zusammensetzt und damit das Herz der Menschen berührt.

Jochen Benz verkörpert die Essenz eines Sommeliers, in welcher das Gastgeben, Servicekultur und Weinwirken meisterhaft verschmelzen. Er ist weit mehr als ein Weinfachmann; seine Welt aus Weinservice und Weinwissen in der Kunst der Konversation, welche Gästeunterhaltung, -schulung und das Weltwissen in sich vereint. Jochen Benz verkörpert, nein, er perfektioniert zeitlose Eleganz. Er ist ein wahrer Altmeister mit einer unbeschreiblichen Erfahrung. Seine Art, mit Wein zu arbeiten, ist in allem Tun ein unverkennbarer Ausdruck jahrzehntelanger Hingabe und seines fast allmächtigen Verständnisses dieses Kulturgutes. Mit einem offenen Geist und einer unverwechselbaren, ruhigen Präsenz fühlt er seine Gäste an, die ihm gedankenverbunden ein tief verborgenes Geheimnis zuflüstern, das nur er zu entschlüsseln vermag. Jochen Benz' Auftreten ist souverän und sicher. Jede seiner Empfehlungen ist durchdrungen von einer Präzision, die nur aus einem Leben voller Erfahrung erwachsen kann. Seine Ansprache ist außerordentlich und doch von einer stillen, beinahe meditativen Klarheit. Er ist kein Trendjunkie. Jochen Benz vereint die Tugenden klassischer Sommeliers mit einem scharfen, zeitgenössischen Blick auf die Welt, wodurch seine Weinkarten zeitlos und doch zeitgemäß erscheinen. Seine Präsenz gründet auf tiefer Bescheidenheit – der Einsicht, dass wahres Gastgebertum nicht in der Größe der Geste, sondern im Verstehen des Wesentlichen liegt.

In der Toskana haben Michael und Tobias schon gemeinsam diverse DOCs und DOCGs besucht. Trotzdem brauchte es die Anregung eines Hörers, damit diese Folge über die bekannteste Weinregion Italiens zustande kommt. Die Toskana ist gleichsam Tourismusmagnet wie auch Herkunft von legendären Weinen – Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Masseto und Solaia sind nur einige klangvolle Namen. Und das Chianti-Gebiet wurde bereits 1716 von den Medici zum geschützten Herkunftsgebiet erklärt. Ihr merkt schon: Die beiden haben wieder viel zu erzählen.>> WEINE AUS DER TOSKANA BEI WEINFREUNDE.DE>> WEINFREUNDE PODCAST HOMEPAGE+++ UMFRAGE +++Bitte nehmt hier an unserer kurzen Umfrage zum Bei Anruf Wein Podcast teil: https://de.surveymonkey.com/r/LHPTYVC+++ Bitte abonniert den Podcast und gebt eine Bewertung ab.

Wie einst Rudi Völler, werden Marco Franzelin zwei Dinge nachgesagt: Eine absolute unvergleichliche und geniale Einzigartigkeit, Profession und Leidenschaft, sowie eine unbeschreiblich menschliche und emotionale Art. Marco Franzelin ist schon in jungen Jahren eine Sommelier-Ikone mit einer tiefen Leidenschaft für die Gastronomie. Er ist geschätzt für seine Ehrlichkeit und Aufrichtigkeit, sowohl zu sich selbst, Winzern, als auch Kollegen gegenüber. Als Sommelier ist er für seine Entschlossenheit und sein Engagement bekannt, was ihn sehr schnell zu einem der wichtigsten Sommeliers im deutschsprachigen Raum machte. Franzelin wird für seine Bescheidenheit, trotz seiner großen Erfolge als Sommelier, wertgeschätzt. Er zeigt stets Respekt gegenüber seinen Kollegen und seinen Winzern, was ihn zu einer respektierten Figur in der Weinwelt macht. Er ist ein Teamplayer durch und durch, der immer das Wohl der Servicebrigade über sein persönliches Interesse stellt. Als Maître ist Franzelin taktisch versiert und einfallsreich, zeigt Geduld und Ausdauer. Seine Fähigkeit, andere zu motivieren und zu inspirieren, macht ihn zu einem natürlichen Anführer. Marco Franzelin ist auch für seinen Humor bekannt, der oft dazu beiträgt, die Spannungen in schwierigen Situationen zu lösen. Sein positiver Geist und seine gute Laune sind ansteckend für diejenigen um ihn herum. Trotz seiner Größe im Wein bleibt er bodenständig und zugänglich für seine Gäste. Er nimmt sich Zeit für jede noch so unbedarfte Frage und zeigt stets Dankbarkeit für die Unterstützung, die er erhält. Franzelin ist ein Mann von Prinzipien, der sich stets an ethische Standards hält und Fairness in allen Aspekten des Service fördert. Er ist ein Vorbild für Fairplay und Integrität. Trotz seines Ruhmes und seiner Erfolge bleibt er bescheiden und demütig. Franzelin ist ein Familienmensch, der seine Zeit mit seinen Liebsten schätzt und immer eine ausgewogene Balance zwischen seinem beruflichen und persönlichen Leben sucht. Er ist ein Mann der Verantwortung, der sich seiner Rolle bewusst ist und stets sein Bestes gibt, um anderen zu dienen und sie zu unterstützen. Seine Authentizität ist eine seiner größten Stärken, und er bleibt immer sich selbst treu, egal welche Herausforderungen auf ihn zukommen. Er ist ein Vorbild für harte Arbeit und Hingabe, und seine Geschichte inspiriert viele, ihren Träumen zu folgen und niemals aufzugeben. Kurzum, Marco könnte auch ein gutes Vorbild für Rudi Völler sein, da dieser Text auch eins zu eins auf ihn gespiegelt werden könnte. Warum und ob das so ist, erfahrt Ihr in den nächsten drei Stunden, bei dieser Ausgabe von SOMMELIERS. Und ich verspreche eines: Wenn Ihr Marco zuvor noch nicht erlebt habt, werdet Ihr Fans. Es wird Euer „Love-on-first-meeting“ und Ihr werdet nicht wissen, warum. _____ Marco Franzelin, Waldhotel Sonnora, Auf'm Eichelfeld 1, 54518 Dreis, info@hotel-sonnora.de Mit herzlichen Grußworten von: Martin Gojer, Freund & Winzer, Weingut Pranzegg Ingo Hillen, Weinliebhaber & wertgeschätzter Gast ------------------------------------- Diese Folge von SOMMELIER – Die interessantesten Mundschenke unserer Zeit wird begleitet von durch Silvio Nitzsche ausgewählte Weine aus dem Programm der Schlumberger Gruppe, zu der die Handelshäuser Schlumberger, Segnitz, Consigliovini und das Privatkundenportal Bremer Weinkolleg gehören. ------------------------------------- Sehr gerne empfehle ich die folgenden Weine: 2022 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, Rosso di Toscana I.G.T., Ornellaia, Toskana, Italien Link für Geschäftskunden: https://is.gd/KmrRMu Link für Privatkunden: https://is.gd/kJwlko _____ 2022 Grüner Veltliner „Reserve“, Ried Kronberg, Qualitätswein, Weinviertel DAC Reserve, Weingut Setzer, Österreich Link für Geschäftskunden: https://is.gd/QQvjj8 Link für Privatkunden: https://is.gd/hnktLr _____ 2020 Roda, Reserva, Bodegas Roda, Rioja D.O.Ca., Spanien Link für Geschäftskunden: h

Welcome to the Areni Global podcast. Today's episode is part of our Insight Series, and it is called, “Can You Scale Up Fine Wine? In Conversation with Vianney Gravereaux, Ivan Massonnat, Dan Petroski & Joao Silva”. This discussion tackles how to drive profitability and achieve financial sustainability within the realm of fine wine. Let's talk about the problems and reasons behind the necessity to scale up in the fine wine industry, and secondly, determine the ideal scale for fine wine production while addressing the challenges, obstacles, and steps to reach that optimal size. Fine wine has always relied on rarity and scarcity to establish its appeal. Fine wine thrives on the idea (real or perceived) of small scale, artisanal, never-changing production. But are these models still viable in today's economy?  About Vianney Gravereaux, Sales & Marketing Director, Ornellaia & Masseto, Italy After starting his career at Arthur Andersen, Vianney Gravereaux has gained a vast international experience in fine wine while working for globally renowned estates such as Champagne Philipponnat and Champagne Salon.

First, if you haven't checked out my new site – shout out to Polly Hammond, my dear friend and a complete rockstar at www.5forests.com!   This time, we decided to do this show as a good set up for next week's show with Stefania Fuselli, one of the sisters who runs Le Vigne di Silvia, an outstanding family winery that the Patrons and I visited while in Bolgheri. I am so excited to share that winery with you, but I felt it would be a better experience if we first explained what Bolgheri is, since as MC Ice points out, it's still a little obscure to many people.   Map: Wikipedia The bottom line: Bolgheri is the birthplace of the ‘Super Tuscan' movement   Bolgheri is a small DOC on the Tuscan coast in the province of Livorno, where the hills taper off to the sea. Bolgheri itself is a tiny village (blink and you may miss it!), famed for a cypress-lined avenue that is one of the most photographed sites in Italy! Bolgheri is home to the OG “Super Tuscan” wine – Sassicaia (Tenuta San Guido), which now has its own DOC – Bolgheri Sassicaia (the only monopole in Italy). Photo: Bolgheri Mountains.

Artefice del nuovo corso di Castello del Terriccio, Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana (1942 - 2019) nasce da una nobile famiglia giunta in Italia al seguito di Federico II e degli Svevi e che, sin dal 1271, ha avuto proprietà agricole e vinicole nel Paese.A Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana va il merito di aver consacrato Castello del Terriccio a luogo di ricerca dell'eccellenza nei vigneti e nei vini difendendo un patrimonio territoriale di grande valore che ha conservato intatti l'antico carattere e la straordinaria bellezza. Dopo aver ereditato l'azienda, egli decide di rifondarla votandola alla vitivinicoltura di altissima qualità. La prima grande sfida che si trova ad affrontare al suo arrivo nella Tenuta - che nel ‘75 era ancora ripartita tra 63 famiglie mezzadrili - è quella di curare il delicato passaggio dalla mezzadria alla conduzione diretta.A quel tempo appassionato cavaliere, le competizioni equestri internazionali lo assorbivano quasi completamente. Poi un incidente pose fine bruscamente a questa sua passione: cavallo e cavaliere caddero, il primo sopra il secondo, e Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana fu privato dell'uso delle gambe. Fronteggiando la situazione, egli ha smesso di montare, ma non di occuparsi della Tenuta e dei cavalli; alla guida di una jeep si impegnava costantemente a seguire il lavoro agricolo nelle sue campagne e nelle sue vigne. Oggi la proprietà è passata a Vittorio Piozzo di Rosignano Rossi di Medelana, unico nipote del cavalier Gian Annibale. Anch'egli discendente da nobili famiglie con ampi possedimenti terrieri nel Paese che risalgono ai secoli passati, Vittorio Piozzo di Rosignano ha lasciato alle spalle i suoi trascorsi in finanza per dedicarsi alla gestione delle attività agricole di famiglia e ora alla conduzione in prima persona di Castello del Terriccio.

Dalla Valle Vineyards - celebre azienda a Napa Valley, California - e Ornellaia presentano DVO 2019, seconda annata frutto della loro collaborazione, un'espressione di eccellenza senza compromessi che rivela la summa dell'esperienza di entrambe le tenute e le tradizioni dei mondi da cui provengono.Il progetto è voluto e pensato dall'enologa Maya Dalla Valle e da Naoko Dalla Valle, fondatrice e proprietaria dell'azienda californiana insieme ad Axel Heinz e Giovanni Geddes da Filicaja, rispettivamente Direttore di Tenuta e CEO di Ornellaia.

Can a bottle of wine change your life? If you are in a receptive mode, the stars are aligned for you and the right questions asked, Yes says Rebekah Wineburg, winemaker at Quintessa. In our latest episode she recalls such an encounter with a bottle of Ornellaia 1998 while having lunch in San Francisco, with her father. This bottle started her very own ‘Butterfly Effect' that led her eventually to be at the helm of one of California's premium estate, Quintessa.

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC rosso, annata 2020, è sul mercato dal 1° settembre. Nasce con la vendemmia 1997 e da allora il second vin di Ornellaia è l'espressione più immediata dello stile della tenuta. Viene prodotto con la stessa passione e attenzione per i dettagli di Ornellaia, in grado di accordare, vendemmia dopo vendemmia, elegante piacevolezza a complessità bolgherese, e, allo stesso tempo, capace di evolversi in bottiglia per tanti anni a venire.Axel Heinz, direttore di Ornellaia, descrive la 2020 come un'annata fuori dal comune e dalle grandi potenzialità: “La stagione 2020 rimarrà nella storia per molte ragioni ben note, ma anche dal punto di vista vitivinicolo sarà da ricordare poiché con il suo dinamismo ha permesso di produrre vini dal grande potenziale, opulenti e pieni di corpo, che nel tempo saranno annoverati tra le grandi annate di Bolgheri assimilabili alla 2006, 2010 o 2016”.

Iniziata la vendemmia 2022 a Ornellaia. Il 25 agosto i primi grappoli delle varietà rosse sono stati raccolti confermando la precocità dell'annata già osservata per le uve bianche, la cui raccolta è cominciata il 9 agosto.

Welcome to Episode 984 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Maya Dalla Valle, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast. More about today's guest: Maya was destined to be a winemaker. In 1986, the year she was conceived, her parents, Naoko and Gustav, made their first vintage of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The following year—the year she was born—they planted Maya's Vineyard, a 5-acre block of Cabernet Sauvignon that has become one of the most revered winegrowing sites in America. In 1992, this remarkable vineyard yielded a wine that would go on to earn Dalla Valle's first perfect 100-point score from legendary critic Robert Parker. Growing up at Dalla Valle in the company of winemakers like Heidi Barrett, Tony Soter and Mia Klein infused Maya's formative years with a sense of place and purpose that has come to define her adult life. In 2017, Dalla Valle became a true multigenerational winery, when Maya joined the winery as director. Committed to earning her place in the family business before coming to Dalla Valle, Maya holds a master's degree in viticulture and enology from Cornell University, and a master's of business and science degree in vineyard and winery management from France's prestigious Bordeaux Science Agro. Equally important, Maya gained invaluable hands-on winemaking experience at Ornellaia e Masseto, Bodegas Rolland, Pétrus and Château Latour. “Dalla Valle is my home. It is also my family's legacy,” says Maya. “I am so excited to be working alongside my mom. Dalla Valle is her life's work, and what she has created is remarkable. I also know that the greatest wineries are judged in terms of decades and generations, and that our story is still being written. I am honored to be carrying our family's legacy into a second generation.” To learn more about today's guest visit: https://www.dallavallevineyards.com/people/maya-dalla-valle/ info@DallaValleVineyards.com About today's Host: Cynthia Chaplin is a Vinitaly International Academy certified Italian Wine Ambassador, a professional sommelier with Fondazione Italiana Sommelier, a member of Le Donne del Vino, and a Professor of Italian wine and culture.

She chose to center her career in Rome and immerse herself in the Italian wine sector, which is her passion. She has taught university students and expats, works with embassies, corporations and private clients, creating and presenting tastings, events, seminars and in-depth courses. Cynthia is a wine writer, translator, and a judge at international wine and sake competitions. She consults with restaurants and enotecas assisting in the development of comprehensive wine lists and excellent food pairings, as well as advising private clients who want to develop a comprehensive Italian wine collection. She lives with her British photographer husband on the shore of Lake Bracciano, north of Rome, where they share their beautiful garden with one massive grapevine, two border collies and an arrogant diva cat.

In Toscana viene comunemente dato per scontato che il vino sia per definizione rosso. “Eppure”, ci spiega Axel Heinz, Direttore di tenuta “attraverso una chiara visione, una paziente ricerca sui suoli e sulle esposizioni vocate, un'opportuna scelta dei vitigni da impiantare e il costante impegno nel coltivare le viti con cura e attenzione, siamo sicuri che sia possibile esprimere il Genius loci di questo territorio unico anche nel colore giallo paglierino dei nostri vini bianchi”.

This episode features Maya Dalla Valle, who has taken over the helm of viticulture and winemaking at her family's estate in Napa and also developed a new joint venture between Dalle Valle and the Supertuscan estate, Ornellaia.

James chats in person in Napa Valley with Maya Dalla Valle, the winemaker at Dalla Valle Vineyards, and Axel Heinz, winemaker at Ornellaia in Tuscany, about the 2019 vintage for their joint project, DVO, and how it compares with 2018.As to James' question of which vintage she likes better, Maya said: "It's so hard. They're both such high-quality vintages, but I would say six months ago I would have said '18. I've been really loving the '18s and the depth that those wines have, and I feel like they're very philosophical wines that can continue to draw you back and are very intriguing and really make you think."She continued: "But I love the charm of the 19s as well. 'Friendly' is not the right word to use for it, but they have this aromatic intensity that I feel very drawn to between the florality and the fruit. It's very appealing. So it's a tough call between the two, I would say, but today I think the '19's are drawing me in a little more.""That's a nice problem to have," James wryly replies.

Maya Dalla Valle was born in exclusive Napa Valley, grew up in a cult winery, and even had one of those cults named after her. Maya lost her dad at a young age, left town to study international relations, but eventually came back to wine, first receiving two Master's Degrees in wine, from Cornell and Bordeaux Agro Science. She put her boots on the ground and worked at some of the finest wineries around the world, including Petrus, Latour and Ornellaia. Maya returned home to join her mom Naoko at their eponymous winery and oversees all winegrowing and winemaking at Dalla Valle Vineyards.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Since 1987 he has dedicated himself to the family winery founded by his father, Arnaldo Caprai in Montefalco, Umbria, which at that time was only an area for DOC wines. In 1989, Marco launched the "Sagrantino Project" in collaboration with the University of Milan, with the specific goal of researching Sagrantino, a native grape from Montefalco which was pretty much unknown. From the very early stages of his career, he took on the role of Director for the Consorzio Tutela Vini DOC Montefalco and helped writing the regulations for the newly formed DOCG Montefalco Sagrantino, which will come in 1992. After this important milestone, Marco starts a very long journey, which still is ongoing as we speak, of taking on multiple roles for prominent institutions in the area of agriculture, promotion of the territory, culture and innovation.

Find out more about by visiting: https://www.vivino.com/IT/en/ or download the app: https://www.vivino.com/app About today's guest: Giovanni Geddes da Filicaja holds the position of Chief Executive Officer of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi SpA and Chief Executive Officer for Ornellaia E Masseto SA SRL (a subsidiary of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi SpA). He studied Economics at the University of Florence and entered the wine business in Italy in the early 1970s, eventually becoming CEO of Rémy Cointreau's Italian company. After 12 years as CEO of Antinori, he took on the challenge of reorganizing the worldwide distribution for the Remy Cointreau Group. At the same time, he started consulting for Frescobaldi on their joint venture project called “Luce della Vite,” with the Robert Mondavi Corporation. In 1996, Giovanni became CEO of Frescobaldi and in 1999 became CEO of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, which produces Ornellaia and Masseto. About Ornellaia ORNELLAIA is synonymous with Tuscany. The estate encompasses 115 hectares under vine along the Tuscan coastline. Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore is the estate's top wine, followed by Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia and Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, and the whites Ornellaia Bianco and Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia. In little over thirty years (the first vintage of Ornellaia was in 1985). The wines here are famous and coveted all over the world. About Masseto Masseto, since 1986 is one wine, from one vineyard, and one estate. The potential of the acclivity where the Masseto vineyard stands along the Tuscan coast was glimpsed at the beginning of the Eighties. The blue clay, refreshing coastal breezes and the superlative refraction of the light guaranteed by the Mediterranean Sea all contribute to the intriguing blend of power, elegance and complexity that distinguishes the wine from the estate. Since the 2017 vintage, Masseto has been accompanied by the second wine Massetino. Both begin their journey on the Masseto hillslope in 11 hectares densely planted under vine and progress from prized grapes to coveted bottles of wine that refine in the estate's cellar, designed by architectural firm Zito Mori, which was inaugurated in April 2019. This marks the point of departure for both wines around the world, every autumn, through Place de Bordeaux.

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling recently released his Napa and Sonoma report focusing on the 2018 vintage. As part of his research, he spoke to two big-name wineries together to find out more about their "secret" project they have been working on together. DVO is a new joint venture between Napa winery Dalla Valle and Tuscan winery Ornellaia, and their first wine will be released in 2021. Tuscany's Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is a jewel of the Frescobaldi family estates, making wines that are not only among the best of Italy, but also some of the most collectible and sought after in the world. In turn, Dalla Valle Vineyards is one of Napa Valley's most admired family-run wineries. These two 'first growths' of Tuscany and Napa Valley are now combining their skills to create a new wine, that James described as "a beautiful first release, refined and with a beautiful sensibility". In this exclusive podcast, you can hear James speak to Axel Heinz, winemaker at Ornellaia, and Naoko Dalla Valle and Maya Dalla Valle, founder and director respectively (and mother and daughter) at Dalla Valle. Listen in to hear how this collaboration came about and to hear details of this first wine (tasting note below) and of the 2018 vintage.  DVO Napa Valley Rutherford 2018Read the full Napa report here: NEW NAPA VALLEY WINES HIGHLIGHT HARMONY AND REFINEMENT WITH 2018 VINTAGE (1,093 WINES RATED)

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling had a tasting and conversation with the team from Tenuta Argentiera. Located in the Bolgheri district on Tuscany's coastline, the estate of Tenuta Argentiera has vineyards positioned on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean toward Corsica. It is neighbored by some of Italy's most famous wineries: Guado al Tasso, Ornellaia and Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia). The prime location is complemented by a world-class team led by Federico Zileri, CEO, as well as the owner of the estate, Stanislaus Turnauer, winemaker Nicolo Carrara and General Manager Leonardo Raspini. In 2018, their Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore 2015 took the second spot on our list of top 100 Italian wines. On July 13, James tasted with them and tried the Ventaglio 2015 and 2016 wines. These two new single-vineyard reds, based on cabernet franc, represent the best of Tenuta Argentiera's production in terms of location, pedoclimatic conditions and grape quality. The grapes come from the most beautiful and best of the estate's vineyards, where the sun's rays reach unhindered throughout the days, leading to perfect ripening conditions.Both wines had good balance and precision, and James commented that the wines had “superb” tannin quality which was beautifully integrated into the wines. You can hear more of what they thought about the wines in this podcast.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 282: Monty Waldin and Axel Heinz of Ornellaia e Masseto Società Agricola discuss coastal winemaking, special vintages, and climate. (06:30) Axel shares the meaning behind the name "Ornellaia." Supported by: Smart working!

FEINSCHMECKER-Chefredakteurin Madeleine Jakits spricht mit dem Önologen und Gutsdirektor Axel Heinz über die berühmten toskanischen Rotweine „Ornellaia“ und "Masseto“ aus Bolgheri, für die er seit 2005 verantwortlich ist und die zu den teuersten Weinen Italiens zählen. Axel Heinz hat zwei Pässe, spricht fünf Sprachen, wurde in Bordeaux ausgebildet und hat es in Italiens Weinszene ganz nach oben geschafft.

We are joined on this episode by Super Sommelier turned Woodwinters, Account Manager, Sarah Bachiorri. Sara is from Umbria, Italy, so naturally, the theme is Sangiovese. Learn all about the region Chianti, where Sangiovese hails. We talk about its history, its past problems, clonal research and why you should be looking out for clones R24 and T19 ( yep, seriously! ), We probably spend far too much time talking about sausage rolls ( very us ), but in our defence we were in Gezellig Restaurant and Bar and this could be the best bar snack in London, and at least this time we are eating it, so you get a wine and a food tasting this week. We also have a little chat about the Super Tuscans, Tignanello, Sassicaia and Ornellaia. This week we are tasting Antinori Chianti Classico Reserva 2015, Italy, Cantina Goccia, Nodo 2012, Umbria, Italy and Vinea Marson 2013, Heathcote, Australia

La Conca La casa era sgarrupata.Fu un fienile, ci stavano le bestie, sotto: era la metà del 1800. Le belle arti ancora non avevano allungato il loro beneplacito a quel genuino lavoro di mattoni che aveva il nome “La Conca”.Il ritaglio perfetto di anima terrosa che partiva dal vicino Sughericcio per raggiungere Ornellaia rimaneva inclinato dai lati verso il centro, così da indirizzare i primi censori cittadini verso il nome che definiva quell’oscillazione di angoli e di olivi: Conca, appunto, il casale di mattoni con le imposte rosse che oggi gli uomini del luogo amano usare come riferimento logistico.Un’amicizia legò mia nonna materna, Graziella Cedraschi, donna prodigiosa e lungimirante, a Luciana Aloisi, madre di Livio e di Giulia, quest’ultima sposa di Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta. Da lì iniziò uno scambio di amore affettuoso che continua oggi con altri volti, altri nomi. Fu quindi quell’amore, per primo, a indirizzare i miei nonni verso questa terra che in alcuni luoghi si lega all’Africa che tanto rappresentò le fortune e le tragedie dei primi protagonisti di Bolgheri.

Anna Martens began her wine career just outside of her home town of Adelaide, working with one of Australia's foremost authorities on winemaking, Brian Croser. After spending almost ten years at Petaluma, she wanted to spread her wine-wings. She spent some time in New Zealand studying for the Master of Wine, but soon ended up working at the prestigious Super-Tuscan estate of Ornellaia. This was where she met her eventual husband Eric Nairoo, and through his own business importing into the UK, she was introduced to natural wines. Eventually they decided to find somewhere she could produce her own wine, and they chose the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna, where she now produces Vino di Anna.

Dorothy Tchelistcheff is the widow of winemaker André Tchelistcheff.

Thomas Duroux manages Chateau Palmer, in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux.
