Ep. 2528 McKenna Cassidy interviews Liza and Lucas Grinstead | Next Generation

Welcome to Episode 2529 of the Italian Wine Podcast. In this episode, Juliana Colangelo meets Giovanna Bagnasco of the Agricola Brandini winery in Piedmont for a wide-ranging conversation about the estate’s evolution from its family history and conversion to organic farming, to the creative choices behind their labels, their approach to the US market, strategic partnerships, and the rise of Italy’s next generation of women in wine.

Key Takeaways:
1. A new generation of winegrowers: how young leaders like Giovanna are shaping the future of Piedmont.
2. Entering the US wine market: what matters most from a producer’s point of view.
3. Adapting to new consumers: trends, expectations, and how wineries can connect with the next generation of wine drinkers.

More about the guest: 
Agricola Brandini is known for its organic Barolo and Piedmont wines, produced with a deep respect for tradition and the environment. The winery is known for its high-quality, terroir-driven wines, which are a result of its certified organic farming practices, the use of native grape varieties, and the direct supervision of every stage of production. It is a relatively young winery, but has quickly become a respected name in the Langhe region, also gaining recognition for their hospitality with the addition of the Coltivare Agri-Relais. 
In 2018, 19-year-old Giovanna Bagnasco took over the family-owned winery with her sister Serena and they have been running it ever since.

Lyrics - 

She wanna call
She in my phone
Told her to hold
Crush Crush

Lost myself
Tell me why you won't
Tell me why you cried
Tell me why you'd fall

I lost myself
Tell me why you won't
Tell me why you cried
Tell me why you'd fall

I can't explain
Why city calls
And in a month
The City Falls
She told me off
Catch me and Fall

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

i told that girl
Tell me why you won't
Tell me why you cried
Tell me why you'd fall
Tell me why you lied
For So 
Long
You my Only one

Florian Nivelle, alias Skizy, was a young man like any other who liked to party
and have a laugh with his mates.

But following a disappointment in love, and the consumption of cannabis,
from one day to the next (in the space of a few puffes) something inside him broke.
He had not yet realised that he had become schizophrenic
a serious mental illness

What followed was a veritable obstacle course
supported this music that is rap
by which he was moved, captivated, touched to the depths of his being
He often says that it wasn't he who got into music in the first place
But that it was music that came to him...

Skizy is a Beatmaker and Songwritter

French

Florian Nivelle alias Skizy était un jeune comme les autres qui aimait fairela fête 
et rigoler avec ses potes. 

Mais à la suite d'une déception sentimentale, et de consommation de cannabis, 
du jour au lendemain, (En l'espace de quelques taffes) quelque chose se brisa en lui
Il n'eut pas encore compris qu'il était devenu schizophrène 
une maladie mentale grave 

S'en suivit alors un véritable parcours du combattant 
qui fut soutenu par cette musique qu'est le Rap
par laquelle il fut ému, captivé, touché au plus profond de lui
Il dit souvent que ce n'est pas lui qui en n'est venu à faire de la musique 
Mais que c'est la musique qui est venu a lui... 

Skizy est Beatmaker et Songwritter

Dj Junky Fullforce Entertainment & Mixtape Specialist

Meet one of the top mixtape specialists on the island of Jamaica, DJ Junky, 

Dj Junky who is based in the tourist resort town of Ochi Rios Jamaica, started out as a deejay playing on Echo One System but later moved on to joined the Eagle Force team.

The sound systems life was not his style so in 2010 he decided to take a different route in the music business by doing mixtapes and he has never ever looked back.

One question which comes to everyone mind when they see or heard the name 'DJ Junky' is how did that name came about.

Junky said when he was much younger he used to clash his friends using his cell phone. He said they use to call him Junky and he just added the Deejay to it, thus came about the name 'DJ Junky'.

With sales on dancehall and reggae music down, one would wonder why he would venture in these turbulent water at this time.

Out of the love for music and the inspiration from sound systems like Black Chiney, Cash Money and Bad Influence Sound he continued on his musical journey. Junky said at one point he thought about giving up but got further motivation from Kerry-Ann Brown and Dj B Gee from Blaze 99.9fm in New Jersey.

With close to a thousand mixtapes under his belt, DJ Junky continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the mixtape business. His most successful mixtapes are 'Popcaan Nuh Shakiness', 'Gyal Settingz Vol.1' and 'Gyal Settingz Vol.2 hosted by ZJ Sparks from Zip 103 FM together they have garnered hundreds of Thousands downloads.

But it have not been smooth sailing for the upcoming Disc Jock as he has faced a number of challenges. Junky said his Mediafire, Sound Cloud and other accounts were closed out. This he said was done by people envy him in the business.

But giving up is not an option for DJ Junky as the young Disc Jocky set his eyes steady on being the top Mixtape disc jock on the island of Jamaica. His dream is to play alongside heavyweights like Major Lazer and Afro Jack.

Due to the success of his mixtapes he was invited by the management of Blaze FM 99.9 in New Jersey, there he played live on air for his fans, this led to him landing a gig at the famous Club Eclipse which is also located in New Jersey.

Fans can catch DJ Junky mixing live on these internet radios station: Starz FM, Boneyaad Radio, 1linkvibes and Jaradio.

Producing

DJ Junky recently formed the Fullforce Entertainment team, this is the producing side of his business. Their first major release is the Kriminal Instinct Riddim which is co produced by Sting G Music. Junky said they are also getting ready to release a brand new single from recording artiste Uycorn title 'Puppy Tail'. Other artiste working under his label are George P and D'koncp formerly known as Squaddy.
