Summary: This week's show is the second installment in my 2 part series that features interviews from my trip to Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy. First Laurie Talks with Renzo Cotarella CEO of winemaking at Antinori Estates about their La Braccesca Winery in Montepulciano. Laurie & Renzo Cotarella at La BraccescaLaurie & Renzo Cotarella at La Braccesca Bruno Gambacorta joins me to talk about the a Tavola con il Nobile competition every August in Montepulciano where neighborhoods compete to create the best food pairing for the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. I had the honor of being a judge this year and was totally impressed but the food as well as the wine! To round things out I included an interview with Italo Jofre of Marques de Casa Concha in Chile at the Hershey Food & Wine Festival.
