Ep. 627 Xiaowen Du Interviews Elena Fucci | Clubhouse Ambassadors Corner
Welcome to this Ambassadors Corner where Xiaowen Du Interviews Elena Fucci on Clubhouse Ambassador's Corner - this special episode is hosted by Stevie Kim - recorded on Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you got your pick? Excerpt from Elena Fucci: "The work we do in the vineyard, as I always say to my grandfather, is not only viticulture, it is also the art of gardening and in this way we are able to provide so much care to our vines. A complete respect for nature and its cycles without the use of chemicals; even the vines are tied up with broom fibers that are dried during the summer. To me the work in the vineyard is essential (we only vinify grapes grown in our vineyard) and when the grapes arrive in the winery and the winemaking begins I am worried, in a way, that I may ruin the fruits of the harvest. Fortunately, the satisfactory end result makes all the hard work in the vineyard and cellar worthwhile" To find out more, visit: www.elenafuccivini.com/ Let's keep in touch!
