We will share the historical knowledge of three renowned winemakers, hailing from different corners of the country, who love and work with very old vines, considered an identity symbol of their wineries, wines, and philosophies. Each of them, with a career marked by passion and respect for winemaking tradition, will, through a masterful tasting, show us how old vines not only define the character of their wines but also represent a cultural and oenological legacy they carefully preserve. Their approach reflects the balance between history and innovation in winemaking
