While attending the Anteprima in Montepulciano last month, I took the opportunity to visit Podere Le Bèrne to see their vineyards and winemaking operations and to share a wonderful lunch of homemade pappardelle made by the family’s grandmother (nonna).  Her grandson, Federico Fastelli, who studied winemaking in Florence and has done harvests in Burgundy and New Zealand, showed me the …

Solène Panigai. Charming yet serious, the new technical director at Olivier Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet is a breath of fresh air.
