A podcast about everything delicious in Tuscany!
This episode takes listeners to the Tuscan hilltop town of Montalcino, home of the iconic Brunello di Montalcino. I sit down with Katia, co-founder of San Polino, one of the region’s pioneering organic and biodynamic wineries.
The story begins with love – Katia’s move from abroad to Italy after meeting Italian Gigi. Together, they transformed a small farm into a globally recognized winery, debuting their first Brunello in 2001.
We discuss the early struggles and triumphs, the philosophy and scale, Montalcino then and now, an much more.
The episode closes with a reflection on why Brunello – and winemakers like Katia and Gigi – inspire so deeply: great wine is about passion, keeping the land alive, with a touch of rebellion.
