Description

The Magic of Brunello features interviews from leading winemakers who are dedicated to making Brunello di Montalcino one of the great red wines of the world. The audio is from the JamesSuckling.com production filmed by Hollywood director James Orr which is about the history of one of Italy's best and most coveted wines, and the region it comes from (click here to watch the documentary). The town of Montalcino is a small medieval village located in the province of Siena. The wine district has one of the warmest and driest climates in Tuscany with the grapes in the area ripening up to a week earlier than in nearby Montepulciano. Brunello is a red wine that was first made in the Montalcino area in the early 14th century. The name Brunello evolved into the designation of the wine produced with 100 percent sangiovese grapes.Listen to the podcast to hear the stories from some key Brunello producers. They each tell a story that illustrates the diversity, passion and dedication to the wine world of the region. And it points to the changes in generations of winemakers and the future of the great wine of Brunello di Montalcino.  Featuring interviews with:Enrico Viglierchio from Castello BanfiTancredi Biondi Santi from Biondi SantiGiacomo Neri from Casanova di NeriGianlorenzo Neri from Casanova di NeriGiovanni Neri from Casanova di NeriLamberto Frescobaldi from CastelGiocondoFilippo Marini from FrescobaldiDaniel Fabbro from San PolinoLuigi Fabbro from San Polino Vincenzo Abbruzzese from Valdicava
