Winery Masters

Important wines and prestigious terroirs. Alessandra Fedi meets three very different producers, as different as the three areas of origin: Guido Alleva of Tenuta Santa Caterina in Monferrato, Lidia Carbonetti of Rocco di Carpeneto in the Ovada area, Alessandro Locatelli of Rocche Costamagna in the Langhe. Exceptional judges are sommelier Vincenzo Donatiello and actress Queralt Badalamenti.

Three young producers under 35. Nicole Vezzola from Costaripa tells us about her rosé on Lake Garda; Noemi Pizzighella with Le Guaite di Noemi shows us her garagiste spirit in Valpolicella, Caterina Cordero from Cordero San Giorgio presents a pinot noir from Oltrepò worthy of the best French. With Alessandra Fedi, the agri-blogger Julia Pili and sommelier Davide Vaccarini.

We are in Tuscany during the grape harvest at three producers belonging to aristocratic families. Ginevra dei Conti Venerosi Pesciolini with Tenuta di Ghizzano; Count Manfredo di San Bonifacio in his wine resort in Maremma; Count Averardo Borghini Baldovinetti de Bacci with Tenuta San Fabiano, in the Arezzo area. The judges are Giambattista Marchetto of VinoNews24 and tick-tocker Maria Sole Corà.

What's the difference between a classic method and a Charmat method? Three great producers explain it to us: Roberta Bianchi of Villa Franciacorta, Alessandra Stelzer with her Trento Doc by Maso Martis and Lodovico Giustiniani, producer of Prosecco with Tenuta Borgoluce. Together with Fedi, the wine influencer Giulia Sattin and the street artist Zoow 24 will taste in the magnificent Venice.

From native white grape variety called Timorasso, is produced a wine exclusively in the Colli Tortonesi area: Derthona. We met its proud producers: Enrico de Alessandrini with Sassaia, Elisa Semino of La Colombera and Walter Massa of Vigneti Massa. The judges are Edoardo Mossi, off-road rally coordinator and journalist Lara Loreti, with a special intervention by chef Anna Ghisolfi.
