Welcome to episode 710 - On The Road Edition with Stevie Kim. Today Stevie is in Milan, sitting down with Diego Bosoni of Lunae Bosoni. Stevie Kim was able to talk to him during the incredibly unusual vertical tasting of Vermentino, and she got the chance to do this with a special wine called Numero Chiuso from Lunae Bosoni Winery! About today’s guest & Winery: Diego Bosoni and his family have been making wine for five generations. The Lunae Bosoni winery is located right on the edge of the Liguria region on the border with Tuscany, in the lush Lunigiana area. They carry on the long winemaking tradition of these places, based on the principles of ancient practices, the valorisation of local and forgotten vines, and respect for the cycles of nature. Among the rows of vines, located between the plains and the hills, and subdivided into small plots of 2-3 hectares, we find interesting and unobtainable varieties, such as Pollera Nera, Massaretta, Vermentino Nero and Albarola, alongside the undisputed star of the area, Vermentino. The Ca' Lunae, is the former winery building where the wines mature and the great bottles are stored, If you want to learn more about today’s winery, you can by visiting: cantinelunae.com/en/ More about the host Stevie Kim: Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
