Renato De Bartoli Guest on the Storie di Vino e Viticoltori Podcast

Renato De Bartoli was a guest on episode 104 of Storie di Vino e Viticoltori, Francesco Fabbretti’s podcast dedicated to artisanal and eco-friendly Italian wine. A dialogue that begins with Marsala as a territory, even before it is a wine: Grillo, the metodo perpetuo, and a direction chosen in the 1970s that has never changed.

During the conversation, four wines recount as many milestones of this history: Terzavia, Grappoli del Grillo, Vecchio Samperi, and Marsala Oro Superiore Riserva 2009 DOC.
