Today on Unwined, the focus is on a theme that sits at the very heart of wine—wine as culture. Wine is not just something we drink… it is history, identity, craftsmanship, and a true reflection of the people and places behind it.  And there is no better place to explore this idea than Chianti Classico.

To bring this theme to life, today’s show features an exceptional lineup of guests.

First, the President of the Chianti Classico Consorzio, Giovanni Manetti—also the man behind Fontodi. He will share insight into the continued rise of Chianti Classico, and offer a deeper perspective on what wine and culture truly mean within the region.

Next, Federica Mascheroni from Castello di Volpaia, a stunning medieval village where wine has been made for centuries. With a background in art restoration, she brings a unique and thoughtful perspective on the importance of preserving history, tradition, and cultural identity through wine.

And finally, a story where art and wine intersect in the most extraordinary way. Michelangelo once owned a vineyard in Tuscany—and that legacy continues today at Nittardi. Leon Femfert will be joining the show to discuss the estate’s fascinating history and, of course, the beauty and expression of Sangiovese.
