Ep. 2833 Three Generations of Soave and the Future of Italian White Wine with Lisa Anselmi & Ekaterina Vislinskaya IWA | Clubhouse Ambassadors' Corner

Welcome to Clubhouse Ambassadors’ Corner and Episode 2833 of the Italian Wine Podcast. In this episode, Ekaterina Vislinskaya IWA meets Lisa Anselmi of the family winery Anselmi in Soave, to explore a three-generation story and its bet on disease-resistant grapes as the future of Italian white wine. Lisa shares the winery’s evolution across three generations, from its origins in 1948 to its focus on vineyard expression and distinctive white wines. The conversation explores Anselmi’s pioneering work with PIWI disease-resistant grapes as a response to climate change, alongside family heritage, resilience, and the evolving role of women in wine. Lisa also reflects on the winery’s journey through challenges such as the devastating 2010 flood and its growth into an internationally recognised family business, exporting 70% of its production. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and reproduced here for the Italian Wine Podcast.
