Event:
Spiritosa – Festival del Bere Bene
Tenuta Monacelli owner Giuseppe Piccinni and boutique wine advocate and distributor Angelo Zarra were the featured speakers at this event. Giuseppe shared his philosophy and the character he hopes his wines will express. In a region known for Primitivo and Negroamaro, he takes a distinct approach by cultivating French varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, blending them with native Negroamaro to create what he describes as “an easy-to-drink wine with character.”
Please check out the video below. The entire session is in Italian, and translating it into English for the subtitles was quite a challenge. I recommend enabling YouTube’s translation feature for additional support.
