Welcome to Episode 1898 and another installment of "On The Road Edition", hosted by Stevie Kim. Today’s episode presents an Instalive throwback during Christmas holiday, featuring Lisa Anselmi of Anselmi winery Passito wines represent a niche production in the Italian wine sector, they are often consumed only on special occasions or during family meals when they are typically combined with the dessert course. Seven women producers from all over Italy will join us for this series, to discuss their Passito wines and recommend the perfect pairing with a typical Christmas dish from their region, sharing personal memories linked to the Christmas holidays and wine.   More about today’s guest “Since 2004, immediately after graduating, I have been working in the family business with my father and my brother. Today I am the administrator of the company.Even just a generation ago in Italy, a winemaker like my father would have expected his son or his daughter’s husband to lead a winery like his. But after being charged with carrying on this legacy, between business, social media and knowledge of grape growing and winemaking practices, I am bringing, together with my brother, my family’s historic estate into the 21st century. I deal with marketing and commercial relations with our costumers in Italy and around the world, but as a member of the family I try to contribute with my work to the entire management of the company, from the vineyard (the property is 70 hectares on the on the highest areas of the hills between Monteforte and Soave) to the sale of our wines. I also take care of the management of our small bistro in Soave: Enoteca Realda, born from my great passion for food and restaurants. All this with great passion, enthusiasm and always with a romantic vision of this land wich creat values, good vibes and right traditions.
