Welcome to Episode 1364; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Dusseldorf, Germany. Today Joy Livingston interviews Elise Rialland of Casale del Giglio.
Stevie Kim and her team travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany this March to collaborate with ITA, the Italian Trade Agency. ITA was organizing some incredible Masterclasses featuring the best wines Italy has to offer. Each masterclass was led by the Master Sommelier Eros Teboni (awarded Best Sommelier Worldwide in 2018), and they wanted us there to document the amazing 3 days! 
Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days. 
More about today’s winery:
Casale del Giglio has always been motivated by the desire to produce top quality, fairly-priced wines in a swathe of land, the Agro Pontino, little known until recently for its viticutural potential. The aim of the experimentation programme, conducted in 1985 on 180 acres of vineyard, has been, and still is, twofold: 
first to favour those cultivars which, by their nature and through targeted management, have proved to interact most successfully with the soil and climate of the territory; second to rediscover and restore the status of native vines once thought to be obsolete, such as Biancolella di Ponza, Bellone di Anzio, Cesanese di Olevano Romano and Pecorino di Accumoli.

Abstract: 
With today’s consumer spending more time online than ever before (except for perhaps March 2020), it is critical for brands to understand how to utilize social media not just as an awareness tool, but as a meaningful conversion strategy.

Kristen Reitzell, SVP Communications & Digital Marketing at Jackson Family Wines, can give attendees a breakdown of the social platforms that are critical to U.S. consumers and how to use them to grow your business, from content creation to amplification (advertising) to community management. Kristen will discuss the importance of these owned channels for both large and small brands, and the value of meaningful and impactful content. She will discuss how to optimize content creation for a U.S. audience as well as working with influencers. Kristen will also touch on how impressions can lead to improved discoverability to drive awareness, attract new consumers, and ultimately, sell wine.

Welcome to Episode 1649; part of our Italian wine interview series set in Bologna! Today’s interview is between Stevie Kim and Isidoro Vajra of GD Vajra

Stevie Kim and her team traveled to the Bologna Slow Wine Fair in March 2023. There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon!


Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days.

More about today’s winery:
“We produce Barolo but not only, because we love all the wines of our land. We believe in beauty, in work done well, in attention to detail, in creativity that respects tradition. We are a family and artisan company. We are accompanied by a young team, enthusiastic and passionate as we are. We directly follow the work of our vineyards, because it is the basis of uncompromising quality, but above all because we like it so much. Our wines are born elegant, complex, delicate. They have the identity and personality that we would like to find in every glass on our table." These are the words with which the Vajra company presents itself: a true undisputed point of reference in the Langhe lands, that is, a winery that has always been linked to the traditions and territory it belongs to, capable over time of establishing itself with products which have reached absolute qualitative levels.
Vajra is one of the historical names of the Piedmontese Langhe, a company that has extended over a vineyard area covering a total of fifty hectares since 1972. Located in the municipality of Barolo, the winery produces strongly territorial wines, starting from all the most typical vineyard varieties of the area.
A family-run company, where two generations work side by side, creating a combination of dynamism and loyalty towards the most ancient local traditions, to which is added particular attention to the most modern technical and scientific innovations that progress is capable of at the moment to offer: mass selections, treatments done with the utmost respect for the territory and nature using synthetic products only where strictly necessary. During the harvest phase, and also subsequently, rigorous selections of the grapes are carried out, to achieve the maximum result in each bottle in terms of fidelity to the vine and the Langhe terroir. Simply excellent wines, those I labeled "Vajra", capable of expressing the best enological essence of the Piedmontese lands like few others.

More about today’s winery
The Tenuta di Fessina project was born in 2007, when after a series of trips aimed at studying and discovering the Etna terroir, Silvia Maestrelli, late Tuscan producer and pioneer on the volcano, decided to stop in Rovittello, on the northern side, where today the beating heart of Fessina resides. Here she was captivated by the uniqueness of the place, the very particular position of the soil, gathered between two volcanic slopes dating back to 1809 and 1911. From here it all begins, first in the North, precisely in 2007, then to the South West, one of the bets initials made in 2009, and finally to the East, in the municipality of Milo, starting from 2012. The philosophy of TDF project, is to collect and vinify different snapshots, all taken from different sides and only in historical reference areas. Jacopo Maniaci takes place at the winery in 2014 as winery director and in 2021 as CEO, he graduated Economics and communication at UNI of Messina, Sicily, and took a Master Degree at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Cuneo. His family is in restaurants and breeding in the mountains of Nebrodi, but he lives at the winery since 2017, taking care of the whole TF project. Fessina in particular rests on an alluvial residual, pyroclastic, a sandy and fine deposit, made of volcanic sand and pumice, dating back between 5,000 and 15,000 years old, draining and capable of guarantee elegance and verticality. Today the winery sells in 20 countries, with average 80.000 bottles of DOC Etna wines.
