Ep. 1774 McKenna Cassidy Interviews Giulio Bruni Of Tasca d'Almerita | The Next Generation

Welcome to Episode 1774 in which host McKenna Cassidy interviews Giulio Bruni of Tasca d'Almerita. this week on The Next Generation where young Italian wine people 30 and under shake up the wine scene. More about today’s winery: “Our story is written in the land, the same land where for eight generations we have dedicated the attention and love that you devote to a family member. Our grandparents taught us to respect the land, keeping an eye on the future. And this vision, still today, allows us to have thriving vineyards and rich, fertile land to farm. Over the years, a precise project to enhance and develop native varieties and territories with greater wine-growing vocation led us to expand. In addition to the historical estate, Regaleali, we now have Capofaro on Salina, in the Aeolian islands; Tascante on Mount Etna; Whitaker on Mozia in the province of Trapani; and Sallier de La Tour in the DOC Monreale area. Each of these estates has a story to tell, each one recounts a different Sicily. The greatest challenge for us now is that of preserving these places to leave our children a better environment, with constant attention to safeguarding each individual ecosystem.” Connect Website: www.tascadalmerita.it/ More about the host: McKenna found her love of wine while serving in a Napa Valley tasting room.
