Ep. 788 Enrica Fontana | Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon

Episode 788 Marc Millon interviews Enrica Fontana from Spagnol Winery, in this episode of Italian Food & Wine with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast. About the winery: It all began with the cultivation of vines undertaken by great-grandfather Serafino during the early 1900s. Our history continues with the production and marketing of bulk wine until 1986, the year during which we began bottling wines in our cantina, thereby covering all phases of wine making from the production to the sale of bottles, thereby completely the supply chain. The vineyards have always been managed and worked by our nuclear family: father Orazio, mother Loreta and their sons, Stefano, Marco, Alberto and Mattia. More specifically, Orazio and Alberto, together with a team of agronomists, supervise the agricultural activities, all done manually, from the management of the plants to the harvest; while Stefano and Marco, as oenologists, deal with the wine-making process of the company wine cellars. Over time, the “famiglia” has grown to embrace the arrival of talented collaborators, who work in the vineyards (7 individuals), and in our offices (4 individuals). Our business is more than just a trade, it’s our passion and our family tradition.
