Crafting wine can be a 'tribulation'!

#4 Meet the WineMaker | Pouring Tuscan Stories, one bottle at the time

You work an entire year in the vineyard, pouring immense effort into the cellar, with months, even years, of aging, only to face significant challenges in bringing a small gem to market. Without the backing of a strong appellation, these wines often struggle against market dynamics that do not favor small producers.

This story encapsulates the essence of "Tribolo," a Tuscan word meaning "tribulation," which is the heart and soul of wine.

We are excited to announce the return of our live video series on LinkedIn, where, together with my co-host Mark, we will explore these stories and the faces behind the wines selected for my Toscana Wine Club.

Join us on Tuesday, September 24th, as we listen to the words of Eleonora Pieri, one of the most genuine and humble voices I have ever met in the world of viticulture.

She will share the reality of the challenges faced by small producers who still work according to tradition, from crafting each bottle to positioning it in the market.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand from Eleonora about the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle of wine produced by these small, traditional wineries.
