Each year, an original tale will be penned by a writer and kindred spirit; this will then be narrated by a professional voice that will accompany the listener on a discovery of a theme relevant to our history and to the journey we are on.
Buon ascolto
What on earth is a medieval music expert doing at Greppo, the sancta sanctorum of the legendary Brunello wines that Biondi Santi has been producing for more than a century in Montalcino? Amanda De Angelis, a passionate musicologist with a somewhat shaky sense of direction, finds herself in an unexpected but enchanting situation that – thanks to a number of delightful and reflective walks through rows of grape vines and down cypress-lined paths – inspires in her sensations of equilibrium and harmony with nature that she has never felt before. The arrival of Gemma Crespi, the first Italian woman Master of Wine, breaks the spell. Or does it…?
