Era il maggio del 1924 quando trentatrè produttori dell'areale “dallo Spedaluzzo fino a Greve; di lì a Panzano, con tutta la Podesteria di Radda, che contiene tre terzi, cioè Radda, Gajole e Castellina, arrivando fino al confine dello Stato di Siena” individuato due secoli prima come territorio di elezione per la produzione del Chianti dal bando del Granduca di Toscana Cosimo III de' Medici, decisero di dar vita alla prima realtà associativa italiana per la difesa di un vino e della sua marca d'origine cogliendo immediatamente l'opportunità di riunirsi in Consorzio offerta da una nuova normativa introdotta con regio decreto. Quei produttori lungimiranti ed ispirati impiegarono pochi giorni per redigere l'atto costitutivo che avrebbe tenuto distinte le loro produzioni di Sangiovese da quella di altre zone, e furono sempre loro nel 1932 ad aggiungere l'aggettivo “Classico” che non solo rafforzava il riferimento alla territorialità ma ne esaltava quell'unicità alla quale successivamente si decise di associare un sigillo, il simbolo appartenuto alla Lega Militare del Chianti, quello del Gallo Nero, profilo che campeggia ancora oggi sulle loro bottiglie, inequivocabile espressione del Made in Italy. Padri fondatori che avviarono un processo di cui oggi, dopo un secolo, si possono riconoscere gli effetti da ricondurre alla spinta propulsiva di un Consorzio i cui cento anni saranno celebrati in anteprima alla stazione Leopolda di Firenze il 15 e 16 febbraio in occasione di Chianti Classico Collection 2024.
This episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast features an insightful conversation with award-winning photographer Marina Spironetti. Marina is a Milan-based travel and food photographer who has found great success by entering prestigious photography competitions.Originally studying languages and journalism, Marina discovered her passion for photography serendipitously through developing photos in a darkroom. She went on to study photojournalism and has since built a successful freelance career focusing on travel and food photography assignments around the world.In the podcast, Marina discusses how early rejection from a photography competition motivated her to keep improving. Her persistence paid off when she went on to win categories in competitions like the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year and Travel Photographer of the Year. Marina shares valuable lessons she's learned about entering competitions, including researching the right ones for her style of work.Winning awards provided major career boosts for Marina. Photo editors suddenly contacted her about assignments rather than the other way around. She offers insights into how recognition from competitions opened new opportunities that allowed her to grow her freelance business.Marina also discusses her portrait of Martina Bartolozzi, a female butcher from Panzano in Tuscany, Italy, that won her the very first Claire Aho Award for Women Photographers in the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year Awards. Marina gives a fascinating perspective on how photography competitions can elevate photographers' careers when the right strategies are employed.Connect with MarinaWebsiteInstagramFacebookX (Twitter)Support the show
The Wine Thieves are back with part two of a series on the Unità Geografiche Aggiuntivi of Chianti Classico (or UGAs) the recently announced additional geographic units that will begin appearing on labels of the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione category as of this year. Joining us again are Caterina Mori, Director of Communications for the Chianti Classico Consorzio, and the "Map Man" Alessandro Masnaghetti who literally drew up the map of the 11 new UGS that we'll be covering in deep detail in this episode. If you haven't already listened to part one, go back to the previous episode as it will be critical to your understanding of this instalment. Geology, and the soils derived from these underlying rocks formed an important basis for Masnaghetti's map-making work. To begin the episode, John and Sara provide a brief recap of Tuscan geology and terminology you'll encounter travelling through the 11 UGAs, along with what can be expected from the wines grown on each of the main "geological units", marine and continental, and the specific soil types that fall under each. Masgnaghetti discusses how the various soil types translate into to different organoleptic wine profiles in each UGA, from the macigno, pietraforte, albarese and Formazione di Sillano of the marine formations, to the continental units that include the gravelly-alluvial soils of San Casciano in the north and the lacustrine clay soils typical of the western part of the Castellina UGA. The UGA tour proceeds clockwise, starting from San Casciano in the northwest corner of the Chianti Classico area, continuing through Greve, Montefiorale, Lamole, Panzano, Radda, Gaiole, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Valgliagli, and finally San Donato in Poggio.Special thanks to our WineAlign colleague and Chianti Classico ambassador Michael Godel, who kindly chose a song to match the feel and vibe of each of the 11 UGAs for this episode.

In part one of this two-part episode, the Thieves will go behind the scenes in Chianti Classico to discover the thought process and philosophy behind the UGAs and some techniques used to create the Atlas and the detailed maps therein. In this and the following episode, we'll be taking a deep dive into the recently approved “added geographic units” of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, Italy, which were officially signed into law this past July 2023.Known in Italian as Unità Geografiche Aggiuntivi, or simply “UGAs” to English-speaking insiders, these geographic units divide the rather large Chianti Classico denomination into 11 smaller sub-areas that sometimes, but not always, follow historical communal boundaries, and broadly group these sangiovese-based wines together into more coherent style categories. This is especially relevant given the significant variability of physical and human factors that shape and mould Chianti Classico into so many delicious expressions.Joining the discussion are Caterina Mori, director of Communication for the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico , along with another important guest who will be familiar to Wine Thieves listeners, Alessandro Masnaghetti, aka Map Man Masnaghetti. Alessandro joined us for one of our three episodes devoted to the wines of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano also in Tuscany (see episode 22 from season 1). Masnaghetti is the director and editor of Enogea, an independent Italian wine newsletter founded in 1997 that continues the work of the late great Luigi Veronelli, a legendary Italian wine writer who launched the first independent Italian wine newsletter known as Ex Vinis back in the 1970s with the aim of recognizing the deserving work of smaller Italian wineries, Alessandro worked with Veronelli, and brought map-making skills to the table to add another dimension to the modern Italian wine narrative. Fast forward to 2023, and Masnaghetti has created dozens of detailed maps of wine regions, mostly around Italy but also a few outside, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Valpolicella and Amarone, Vino Nobile, and even Bordeaux. But his latest magnum opus, and the one most relevant to our two episodes, is the incredibly detailed Atlas of Chianti Classico. This atlas and its series of detailed maps and background geological information, or as Masnaghetti himself puts it, “geo-viticultural” information – that is the aspects of geology most relevant to grapegrowing, was commissioned by the Chianti Classico Consorzio, with the main aim of establishing the boundaries for the 11 new UGAs. Masnaghetti's work is an impressive tome that should be on every wine lover's shelf, and indeed should be in your hands right now to follow along on these two episodes. You can get yourself a copy at enogea.it. The maps contained within the atlas show geology, topography, vineyard boundaries, estates, and much much more. In the previous episode we spoke with Giovanni Manetti, current president of the Chianti Classico Consorzio and owner of the Fontodi estate in Panzano. Signore Manetti shared loads of valuable information with us on the history and the current status of Chianti Classico, and we touched upon the introduction of these UGAs and what it means to both producers and wine drinkers around the world. So be sure to have a listen to that episode, if you haven't already, to set the stage for these next two episodes. Cin Cin! This episode was produced thanks to a Campaign Financed According to EU Regulation No 1308/2013.
The first of a three-part journey into Chianti Classico. in this episode we look at the past, present and future of the denominazione with our special guest, Giovanni Manetti, Chariman of the Chianti Classico Consorzio and proprietor of the venerated Fontodi estate in Panzano. This is Manetti's second term as the Chairman , where he has been a driving force of innovation and evolution, helping to re-establish Chianti Classico as one of Italy's, and the world's, leading quality wine-producing regions. The creation of the Gran Selezione category at the top of the quality pyramid, as well the introduction of UGAs (Unità Geografiche Aggiuntivi), added geographic mentions within the greater Chianti Classico territory, are just two of the invigorating projects which Manetti has championed and pushed through.The Thieves deliver the latest news regarding Gran Selezione regulations and the new UGAs, but focus first on the history of the region from Etruscan settlements in the 8th century BC, to the legend of the gallo nero, the mezzadria sharecropping system that shaped Chianti Classico as we know it today, Barone Ricasoli's 19th century 'recipe' for Chianti, the 1970s crisis (fiasco?), and the renaissance of quality wine. There is much to unpack in this multi-faceted region, so important and recognizable to wine lovers around the world.A happy 307th birthday to Chianti Classico, an anniversary for which we give thanks to the Grand Duke of Tuscany and patron to the arts, Cosimo dei' Medici III, who famously demarcated the wine region of Chianti in 1716 and created the first legal appellation of origin for wine in the world. Tuscan aficionados won't want to miss this episode that reveals how Chianti Classico's past has set the stage for its modern renaissance. This episode has been produced in partnership with the Chianti Classico Consorzio and financed according to EU regulation 1308/2013.

Italy was truly a dream - Panzano in Chianti and Bologna were absolutely incredible. Tune in to hear our favorite things and some incredible experiences we shared in these magical places. Walking up the giant hill was worth it!
Last month in Tuscany, Italy an eighth generation butcher by the name of Dario Cecchini totally blew my mind, for sooooo many reasons, the least of which is the incredible customer experience he and his team deliver. But trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a meaty, and slightly teary, episode 638 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Tuscan Butcher Dario Cecchini ... I‘m so excited (and honoured) to bring you this interview. Dario Cecchini is an eighth generation butcher based in the small Tuscan town of Panzano, Italy. Population 1,152. I discovered him last month when Sarah and I googled fun things to do in Tuscany, and one travel blogger was adamant that a visit to Dario's butcher shop was an absolute must! In fact, the blogger went on to say that not only should you visit his shop, but you should absolutely book a seat at his now famous long-table lunch or dinner that he holds every day on the first floor of his shop. Six courses of the beast with all the Chianti and Grappa you can drink for fifty Euro. At that point they had my attention as both Sare and I love a good feed at a long table. Who doesn't?! So we try to book online but there's no spots left. Instead, we rolled up one morning about 9:00 AM and that's where the fun began. Allow me to paint the picture. Dario's butcher shop is in a non-descript side street of Panzano, nestled in between a souvenir shop and the local post office. If it weren't for AC/DC and Andrea Boccelli playing at full volume on high-rotation, or waiters offering you a free glass (or four) of Chianti as you wandered past, you would be excused for walking straight by. Yep, you heard right, a butcher's shop playing Acca Dacca and opera, and serving free wine at 9AM on a weekday! This happens everyday of the year BTW, except Xmas Day! After a quick tipple out on the street, Sare and I wandered into Dario's butcher shop where we were warmly greeted by Grant, a friendly Scottish fellow who acted as a sort of Maitre d. Yep, a butcher's shop with a maitre D! He welcomed us, asked where we were from and suggested we make ourselves at home, at which point I asked him (trying to hide my desperation) if there were a couple of seats left for the day's long lunch. Miraculously there were, so after paying our fifty euro each at the booking office up the road (yep, a butcher's shop with a booking office!), we settled into a couple more Chiantis and got talking to some of the other 170 people (from all over the world) who we'd be joining at the long table! I then laid eyes on the great man himself. There he was, standing behind his chopping board that his great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather had worked on, surrounded by the most amazing cuts of meat, cleaver in hand; eighth generation butcher Dario Cecchini dressed in all his finery, finished off with an impressive handle-bar moustache. So what's the first thing Timbo the Tourist does? Ask for a photo of course! At which point Dario puts his arm around me, stuck his chest out like the proud butcher he is, and the first selfie of many was taken. After a couple more glasses of Chianti, midday swung round and we were ushered upstairs to a room full of long tables, and a roaring BBQ of hot coals ready to cook the first of six meaty courses. Now, I could go on and tell you about what an amazing lunch it was. How incredible the staff were at creating an unforgettable experience. How tasty the various courses were. How much fun it was sitting between and getting not-so-quietly drunk with folk from all over the world. Or how at one point, Dario comes out to thank everyone and yells out Carne Diem at the top of his voice … that's his take on the Latin Carpe Diem (AKA Seize the day). However, I'm sure you get the picture; plus if you're a Member of my Patreon then you can watch a video of it over at Patreon.com/MarketingPodcast The point of this interview is much deeper than me sharing my travel stories. What I want to get across is that Dario Cecchini is a rare breed of business owner who overflows with love and passion for what he does, and who genuinely wants to share this with his precious customers. Dario is a man who operates from a strong set of values passed down through eight generations, he's not scared of hard work and is full of pride in everything he does. This is also evident in all his staff who absolutely love him. As a result, this humble Tuscan butcher has put his hometown of Panzano on the world map. Not only does he have a thriving butchers shop, and rooms full of long tables that accommodate hundreds each day. He also has a food truck on the city limits, a second restaurant two hours away, and an entire shop dedicated to merch. And who doesn't love a good bit of merch!? He's also built a strong personal brand, so much so that an entire episode of the Netflix series Chef's Table, is dedicated to this beautiful human. Yes, Dario had a huge impact on me in the short time I spent with him, and I hope I've gone some way in this interview to impart why, so that you too can benefit from how he goes about life and business. Yes, you'll discover the power of running a values-based business, and how an unforgettable customer experience is built; but you'll also be reminded of the power of a mentor, the importance of love in running a business, and why creating a successful business is much more a feeling than it is an algorithm (Dario's words, not mine!). In fact, in the same breath he says “You can only truly see with your heart.” Before we meet him, three things I want you to note. Dario doesn't speak English, so his beautiful wife Kim (who's also his business partner) does the translating. Please don't let this put you off, as half the magic is hearing him speak in his thick and passionate Italian accent. Secondly, there are times during this interview where all three of us get quite teary, in a very positive way. Soz if that's not your style, but it's mine. And Dario's! And Kim's!!

La Pietra Chardonnay è il primo Supertuscan bianco, decano della nuova enologia toscana che interpreta una tipologia di gusto internazionale legata fortemente al territorio a cavallo degli anni '70 e primi anni '80.Mentre in questo periodo le grandi famiglie del vino toscane concentrano la loro attenzione sui Supertuscan da uve rosse internazionali, Ambrogio Folonari decide di sperimentare lo Chardonnay convinto che, attraverso la fermentazione e la maturazione in legno, si possa realizzare un grande vino adatto ai lunghi affinamenti.Il nome La Pietra fa riferimento alla natura geologica prevalentemente marnoso argillosa che conferisce sapidità e mineralità al vino, rendendolo un bianco unico nel panorama vitivinicolo toscano.La Pietra è ottenuto esclusivamente da uve Chardonnay le cui barbatelle di origine borgognona sono state piantate nella tenuta di Casa di Sala a Panzano in Chianti all'interno delle Tenute del Cabreo all'inizio degli anni '80 da Ambrogio Folonari: per esaltare le caratteristiche dello Chardonnay, è stato scelto un metodo di allevamento della vite a Guyot che consente di ottenere una maturazione più omogenea e una maggiore freschezza delle uve. Al fine di salvaguardare la freschezza si tende anche ad anticipare la vendemmia nelle prime settimane di agosto, concentrando le attività nelle prime ore del mattino.

We interviewed Dana Rodriguez at Steamboat Food & Wine Festival in September, and it was one of our favorite interviews yet. With F-bombs flowing in front of a live audience, Dana lived up to her reputation as a passionate, loving, and incredibly hardworking restauranteur who came from nothing to create her empire. With the opening of her new Denver taco & tequila bar, Cantina Loca, this month, we thought it would be a great time to relaunch this episode with one of our real life heroes. Dana has had an almost unbelievable trajectory, from Mexican immigrant and single mom of three, who started dishwashing at Panzano in Denver, and worked her way up to prep cook and then eventually restaurant mogul through her hard work, passion, drive, and incredible intelligence. At Panzano, Dana met Jennifer Jasinski and her partner, Beth Gruitch. They helped mold her skills, which enabled Dana to become a sous chef at Rioja and Chef de Cuisine at Bistro Vendome. In late 2012, Dana's path crossed with Tony Maclag, and Work and Class was born. They then went on to open Super Mega Bien together as well. Most recently, Dana created an organic tequila and mezcal brand, Dona Loca, where the focus is to give back to the workers who make the tequila possible in Mexico. Today we hear Dana's inspiring story, and how important it has been for her to build a restaurant group that is truly there to support their employees, in part by limiting people's work days each week so they are rested but still able to meet their financial needs. We learn how she has found her own balance in being a working mom, friend, and business owner. We also discuss why she started Dona Loca – to teach people that what you drink is just as important to what food you put in your body. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/finelinepodcast/support

Tenuta Casenuove prende vita dalla volontà di Philippe Austruy - collezionista, mecenate e proprietario di diverse tenute in Francia, Portogallo e Italia - di far rinascere un progetto vinicolo le cui origini risalgono al 1600. Situata nei pressi della Conca d'Oro, a pochi minuti da Panzano in Chianti, la proprietà si estende su oltre 120 ettari, ricoperti da boschi, oliveti e vitigni autoctoni e non solo, quali Sangiovese, Canaiolo e Merlot.Nel 2015 inizia un'attenta opera di rinnovo e reimpianto del vigneto con l'obiettivo di ripristinare, mantenere e migliorare le potenzialità del territorio circostante. Alessandro Fonseca guida una squadra composta da giovani talenti, per lavorare con dedizione alla produzione di DOCG Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione e IGT Toscana Rosso. Dall'incontro tra Philippe Austruy e Lorenzo Fiaschi, co-fondatore di Galleria Continua, l'arte si fonde con il territorio, diventando uno dei pilastri portanti del progetto. Ogni anno, seguendo l'alternanza delle stagioni, un artista è invitato a fare esperienza di questi luoghi suggestivi e a creare installazioni in sintonia con il paesaggio e con gli uomini che lo modellano.Sin dagli inizi, Alessandro Fonseca ha rappresentato un caposaldo del progetto di rinascita di Tenuta Casenuove. Ingegnere agronomo e viticoltore con oltre 30 anni di esperienza, si occupa della gestione dell'azienda, affiancato da una squadra di giovani professionisti under 40.
La Fattoria di Vignole è situata nel cuore della zona di produzione del Chianti Classico, in prossimità dell'abitato di Panzano. La famiglia Nistri, che opera nel settore vinicolo dal 1865, ha acquisito la proprietà dell'azienda nel 1970.Con una superficie di 21 ettari, di cui 14 destinati a vigneto specializzato, i terreni dell'azienda sono situati lungo la valle del fiume Pesa, meglio conosciuta nella zona di Panzano come "La Conca d'Oro" per la superiore qualità dei vini che vi hanno origine - ad un'altitudine variabile tra i 290 ed i 320 metri e con estensione sui due versanti di un colle esposti a sud-est e sud-ovest.Con il supporto della “Stazione Sperimentale per la Vitivinicoltura Sostenibile”, oggi l’azienda pratica un’agricoltura basata su i principi di “naturalità e sostenibilità” Per il rispetto e la qualità dell’ambiente non vengono usati prodotti chimici di sintesi: miglior qualità del territorio, miglior qualità del vino.I vitigni utilizzati sono stati messi a dimora e coltivati nel pieno rispetto delle tradizioni del Chianti Classico e del Territorio di Panzano. L'azienda dispone di moderne cantine ricavate in parte nell'ambito del corpo della casa colonica principale (edificato nel 1500) con un reparto di vinificazione, la cosiddetta "tinaia", separato da quello di invecchiamento, costituito da una cantina scavata all'interno della collina, idoneo alla sua funzione per il ridotto sbalzo termico stagionale.I vini prodotti sono quindi il risultato della cura e dell'attenzione nel procedimento che ha origine nel vigneto e continua nella selezione delle uve in fase di vendemmia, nell'accurata vinificazione, nell'invecchiamento in botti e barriques, il tutto nel rispetto delle tradizioni e delle caratteristiche dei vini che fanno parte della migliore enologia toscana.
