The winery has forty hectares planted in the hills of Soave, with volcanic soils, and eight hectares in Valpolicella, where he cultivates vines at an altitude of 500m, on calcareous soil and in an area characterized by large diurnal range, influenced by cold currents from the Lessini Mountains and Mount Carega. A pioneer for the use of the screw cap in Italy and founder of Gli Svitati, Graziano Prà produces five labels from vineyards in Soave, Otto, Staforte, Monte Grande, Colle Sant'Antonio and Passito Bianco delle Fontane, and the Morandina line from vineyards in Valpolicella: Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone della Valpolicella.

Welcome to Episode 1704; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview features Letizia Ferracchiato of Cantina Fongoli Stevie Kim and her team traveled to the Bologna Slow Wine Fair in March 2023. There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon! Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. More about today’s winery: The Fongoli company was founded by Decio Fongoli in the early 1900s, when he took over a property made up of several farms, located at the top of the hill in S. Marco, in the centre of the Montefalco wine-making area. As usual with the farms of the period, they produced wine and oil, as well as rearing pigs and cattle, and cultivating arable land. The first bottled wines date back to the 1940s, thanks to Angelo Fongoli, son of Decio, who produced Bianco S.Marco, Rosso di Montefalco and Vino Sagrantino Pregiato, at that time classified as table wines. Angelo's great passion led him to see the recognition of the DOC for Sagrantino di Montefalco in 1977, the only one in that year. Awards such as the Dujia D'Or for Montefalco Rosso in 1981 and 1983 and other local awards arrived in those years. Since the end of the 1980s until 1999, the winery was run by his nephew Decio and since 1999, by his great-nephew Angelo, both of whom follow the original approach with ageing in large oak barrels, bottling strictly in-house and vinification with indigenous yeasts using only their own grapes. Today the property covers about 35 hectares in a single body, 23 of which are vineyards, 6 woodland, and the rest truffle ground and meadows, and is managed entirely according to biodynamic principles.

Today she interviews Romina Leopardi of Tenute Rubino featuring the wine - Torre Testa DOC Brindisi Susumaniello 100% Italian Wine Podcast is proud to be a media partner of wine2wine Business Forum and we are pleased to present this series of market focus sessions, recorded during the Forum held in Verona in November 2023. wine2wine Business Forum is an international wine business event, held annually in Verona, Italy since 2014. The event is a key annual reference point for wine producers and wine professionals from around the world, providing an opportunity to network, develop and expand their wine business worldwide. More about today’s winery: Tenute Rubino’s roots date back to the 1980s when Tommaso Rubino, an avid supporter of Apulia’s viticultural and oenological potential, created a foundation for production divided between five estates. The goal was to express the best of local viticulture through hand-crafted wines showcasing Puglia’s native varieties, including Primitivo, Negroamaro, and the revival of Susumaniello, which was on the verge of extinction. In 1999, Tommaso teamed up with his son Luigi and daughter-in-law Romina to create the brand Tenute Rubino, based in Puglia’s Brindisi region. Today, the Tenute Rubino winery produces an array of authentic, terroir-driven wines which have revitalized the reputation of Apulian wines across the globe. In March 2022 the company has obtained the Equalitas, Sustainable Organization Module, Certification, the standard that promotes the sustainability culture in the agricultural and viticultural industry on an international basis.
