Once a political journalist covering Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Stephanie found herself unexpectedly in the world of Chianti, managing communications for a top winery. Now, she's a wine importer and producer in Italy's Valle d'Itria, championing rare indigenous grapes and shaking up tradition with her new boxed wine brand, Liquido. In this episode, Stephanie shares her fascinating journey, the challenges of Italian wine culture, and her mission to preserve forgotten grape varieties all while navigating the complexities of modern wine production. So pour a glass, sit back, and get ready to be inspired by the world of wine and one remarkable woman behind it. In this episode, you will be able to: Discover the unique journey of Stephanie, a former political journalist turned wine producer and how her background shaped her approach to the wine industry. Learn about the indigenous grape varieties of Puglia, and why they are often overlooked in the wine world. Explore the challenges and rewards of running a small wine production in Italy, including the importance of local co-ops and community support. Find out about Stephanie's innovative boxed wine project, "Liquido," aimed at changing perceptions of boxed wines and expanding the reach of lesser-known grape varieties. Gain insights into the complexities of importing wine in Utah, a unique market with its own set of challenges and opportunities, and how Stephanie navigates this landscape. Stephanie Cuadra is a dynamic figure in the wine industry, currently based in Greve in Chianti, Tuscany. With a background in political journalism and a degree in Italian literature from Georgetown University, Stephanie's journey into the world of wine began serendipitously when she was recruited to oversee communications at Querciabella, a renowned winery in Chianti. Her passion for wine deepened as she married the winery's CEO, Roberto Lasorte, and together they embarked on a mission to revive her husband's family farm in Valle d'Itria, Puglia. As a wine importer based in Salt Lake City, Stephanie has cultivated a portfolio that champions small producers and indigenous grape varieties, focusing on the unique offerings of Italy and Spain. Her commitment to preserving viticultural heritage is evident in her production of Silos, a field blend of native grapes from the Valle d'Itria, and her latest venture, Liquido, a fresh take on boxed wines aimed at expanding the reach of lesser-known varietals. Fluent in Italian and deeply connected to her roots, Stephanie is passionate about sharing the stories behind her wines and the traditions of the regions they come from.

Initially I undertake the new activity of winemaker as a parallel job to university studies, promising to decide on my future only after graduation and I take care of the first harvest destined for bottling for local catering. In 1995 I find myself in the military service between Friuli and Slovenia and having lived the attachment to the land of these border producers like me, pushed me, back home, to definitively choose to be a winemaker for life. So I start working with soul and body on my idea of a farm, defining my personal style from the beginning. I create new vineyards on my farm but I go even further, in search of old vineyards in the surrounding areas, going down to the foothills of the municipalities of Fosdinovo, Castelnuovo and Sarzana.” If you want to learn more about today's guest producer, you can by visiting: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Terenzuola/ Instagram - terenzuola Website - https://www.terenzuola.it/ivan-giuliani-si-racconta/ More about the moderator Stevie Kim: Stevie 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!

In episode 8, Susannah Gold and Sunny Gandara speak with Manfred Ing, winemaker at Querciabella winery in Tuscany, renowned for their fantastic, high quality vegan wines. We speak with Manfred about his experiences at Querciabella, dive into their practices, and what he is seeing in Tuscany and Italy, both in terms of sustainable wines and climate change. Manfred is originally from South Africa and has contacts throughout the global wine industry, having also created a social media group for winemakers throughout the world. We touch on this as well as his joy in working with Querciabella's visionary owner, entrepreneur, and vegan activist Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni.

Sebastiano is working at such a high level on so many exciting things that it's hard to summarize the work he does. I really like these sentences taken from his LinkedIn profile: "Born in Milan, Italy, Sebastiano Cossia Castiglioni is an award-winning entrepreneur, activist, investor, and advisor to businesses and governments around the world. Although his expertise spans the food, finance, wine, technology, life sciences, and art sectors, his greatest concern is animals. An impassioned vegan and animal rights activist, Sebastiano's focus is on promoting the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle globally; overtaking the inefficiency, cruelty and inherent dangers of animal agriculture; revolutionizing the food industry through innovation; fostering rewarding investments in such innovation; and striving to protect the planet from the catastrophic effects of climate change." Querciabella is his wine company that he tells us about in the episode, and I apologize for my poor pronunciation of Italian words. This conversation was an absolute thrill for me. I hope you enjoy listening and that you find it interesting!
