In this episode of Life is Grape in Tuscany, Rebecca Christophersen Gouttenoire sits down with Piero of Poggerino to explore the rich history of Chianti wines, from its 13th-century origins to its modern-day status as a global icon. They dive into the unique terroir, the evolution of Chianti and Chianti Classico, and Poggerino’s commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention. Piero shares insights on how small producers like Poggerino stand out in a globalized wine world while staying true to tradition. Tune in for a journey through Chianti's past, present, and future!
