Earth’s changing climate is threatening our food chain in a multitude of ways.

Wine is no exception, and in Tuscany, a dynamic young generation of winemakers is confronting this new challenge in creative ways. Extreme, unpredictable weather puts their livelihoods at risk, and could destroy
thousands of years of tradition. Forced to respond, they must find a solution or lose everything.

A Vintage In Tuscany follows three wineries and their young winemakers as they navigate this perilous journey.

  • Fattoria Le Masse

    Robin took over his family’s estate in 2018 with the aim of bringing the ancient property into the 21st century. With buildings that date back to the 9th century, and hundreds of acres of vines, it has been a herculean effort - but one he has embraced with energy and vision.

  • Le Miccine

    Paula is originally from Quebec and purchased Le Miccine in 2010 - fulfilling a dream that began in agricultural school in Canada and took her to the great winemaking regions of Europe.

    As a single, female foreigner in a male-dominated world, she has faced enormous obstacles, but has transformed the small estate into a producer of high-quality wine sold around the world.

  • Cigliano di Sopra

    Maddalena and Matteo met at winemaking school in Florence and quickly recognized in each other kindred spirits who were obsessed with making great wine with no compromises.

    In 2016, they - along with a team of young workers around them - started making wine at Maddalena’s family’s ancient estate in the hills outside Florence. and it wasn’t long before the wine world began paying close attention.
