About this episode

We sit down with Albiera Antinori, at the Forum della Cucina Italiana in Manduria, where the 26th generation of Italy's most storied winemaking family talks dynasty, disruption and the long view. She tells us how Tignanello broke every rule of late-1960s Chianti Classico, why wine and food are inseparable in Italian culture, and what a 27th generation is already bringing to one of the world's great wine estates. Six hundred years in, the direction has never been clearer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
