About this listen
On today's show, we have Riccardo Fratton, head winemaker of San Polo in Montalcino, Italy. Riccardo was raised in the Veneto region but didn't really blossom as a winemaker until working in California. He was so impressed by the level of experimentation and a sort of freshness to winemaking that he brought those points of inspiration back to his home country. Meeting and working for Marilisa Allegrina, the Queen of Amarone, brought him to relocate to another Allegrina estate in Montalcino, San Polo.
Jessica has spent a substantial amount of time in Montalcino over the last year and has the good fortune to taste the 2024 vintage and beyond with Riccardo. They talk about all of the particularities of Southeast Montalcino and the diversity and history of the San Polo Estate.
