Ep. 1733 Rachele Tiezzi | Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon

Welcome to Episode 1733 on Italian Wine Podcast, Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon. Today, he will be interviewing Rachele Tiezzi of Tiezzi Vini in Montalcino More about today’s winery The Tiezzi Wine Estate bears the name of its owner, Enzo Tiezzi, a well-known agronomist-oenologist from Montalcino, who has always worked in the winegrowing and oenology sector around Siena, particularly in Montalcino, where for years he has been director and oenology consultant for estates of outstanding fame, as well as being part of the executive management and Chairman of the Consortium for Brunello di Montalcino. In the 1980s, Mr Tiezzi decided to set up his own business and established the estate with the purchase of “Cerrino”, the first of the three areas, known as “poderi”, that make up the whole estate as it is today, followed, a few years later, by “Cigaleta”. His love of Montalcino’s history and his search for tradition led Enzo Tiezzi to annex the historical “Soccorso” land parcel to the estate.
