Italy’s Next Generation
In the words of Giovanni Gaja, “Wine symbolizes joy and togetherness and creates memories. We have the knowledge of previous generations, but are open to change.” This issue focuses on the next generation of great Italian vintners, and where they see the future of winemaking heading, as new consumers come of age and drinking trends morph and change with the climate. Learn more about the new faces picking up the mantle at twelve of Italy’s oldest and most renowned wineries in this issue’s cover story.
Plus, get our annual Piedmont tasting report as well as a special feature on the newest wine to come from Napa’s hallowed To Kalon vines and more!
