Episode 560: Monty Waldin catches up with Fabian Schwarz who speaks about Fattoria La Magia, Montalcino! In 2011, Harald Schwarz handed the baton to his son Fabian, who had attended the Istituto Agrario San Michele all’Adige. This professional training equipped Fabian to become the driving force at La Màgia, responsible for the agronomy and wine-making policy of the estate, as well as handling the entire commercial and marketing side of the business. From their connections at the Istituto Agrario San Michele all’Adige, a professional network of teachers and former students, now producers, has developed, providing a mutual support system from which everyone benefits. This is especially helpful on production issues. In this spirit of co-operation, a warm welcome and hospitality are always offered to student winemakers from all over the world, with the involvement of a number of universities and participation in a number of pan-European projects. The wine harvest is the culmination and celebration of every new vintage, a time for sharing and enjoyment. This exchange of experiences is a wonderful opportunity to explore new pathways that lead to continuous improvement for all concerned.

Aanyways do you know about grappa? Neither does Stevie, so don't worry, Scienza is here to help us waking up tomorrow with a little more knowledge. Until next time, CIN CIN!

Episode 555 Monty Waldin catches up with Hayo Loacker who speaks about his family, the Loacker wineries and their love of all things Biodynamic and Homeopathic! The Loacker family has been running its own wineries since 1978, strictly following the principles of biodynamics and homeopathy. This means that in the vineyards of Loacker estates the use of chemistry was completely eliminated by using biodynamic and homeopathic products in the treatment of the vines. Arnica, for example, serves to remedy the damage caused by hail to vines and grapes; the Aconitum is used against sudden infections, while Silicea helps to strengthen the structure of the leaves and shoots. The purpose is to obtain the maximum possible balance of the vine. Now the wines made according to natural criteria, unlike in the past, are a guarantee of high quality. The Loacker family still owns three wineries in three different Italian wine regions (Alto Adige, Montalcino, Maremma) with a total area of 45 hectares of vineyards. The wines produced embrace a wide range so as to be able to conquer all the palates of wine lovers.
