Have you ever visited a vineyard that chooses to help, not hurt, Mother Nature?

I took this image while visiting Marilisa Allegrini San Polo estate in Montalcino.
The most remarkable thing I recall about this place is its energy - boundlessly imbued in its w**es.

In case you are not aware, the Allegrini family has been growing grapes since the 16th c. in Italy.

In 2023, Marilisa and her daughters founded Marilisa Allegrini Group, which includes San Polo in Tuscany, as well as Villa Della Torre in Valpolicella and Poggio al Tesoro in Bolgheri.

As Marilisa explains, "San Polo, in Montalcino, reflects another important part of a philosophy which has been deeply influenced by my daughters and future generations.

Its commitment to organic viticulture, sustainable architecture, and social responsibility embodies my belief that caring for the land — and our people — is essential to the future of w**emaking.

Surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, the estate brings together the traditions of Brunello with a thoughtful approach to sustainability and hospitality, creating an experience that honors both the region’s heritage and its natural beauty."

You can find out more about Marilisa and her daughters' commitment to sustainable in my interview:

"In a w**emaking family, you quickly learn that w**e is living history. It holds all the joy and triumphs of a vintage, but also the sacrifices and challenges of working with nature." --Marilisa Allegrini, President - Marilisa Allegrini Group

What's it like to hail from 16th c. Italian w**e family?

“W**e tantalizes me in ways that I can’t fully explain. A dawn visit to a harvest vineyard sparks a surge of energy as I survey all the elements of a great visual story...” -Richard Duval

I'm honored to showcase Richard Duval and his work here, in my new long-form Substack interview series:

Tête de Bulle | № 51 | In Conversation with Richard Duval - Richard Duval Images

https://redt.substack.com/p/tete-de-bulle-51-in-conversation

I first met w**e photographer Richard Duval of Richard Duval Images years ago, when we were both at the early stages of our respective w**e industry careers.

Fast forward to 2026, when I discovered he was one of our UW Photo program guest lecturers.

Spoiler Alert: Richard brings the same enthusiasm and expertise to the classroom as he does covering w**e country!

Recently, one of his images placed third in the "Places" category of the prestigious Louis Jadot World W**e Photographer awards.

Many thanks to Richard for sharing his images, expertise, and passion.

Readers: Any fave image? Care to share in the comments - cheers!

“If you’re given the responsibility to steward an agricultural property, you have an obligation to leave it in better condition for the people who come after you.” -Rick Bonitati, Kopf Family Estates

Earlier this year, I launch a 7-part short-form interview series.

It proved so popular, I've relaunched it.

This week, Tête de Bulle | No 50 features: In Conversation with Rick Bonitati, President & CEO of Kopf Family Estates.

If you're unfamiliar, he's is a W**e Enthusiast 2026 W**e Executive of the Year nominee. With good reason.

Bonitati believes in ongoing sustainability, long-term relationships, and seamless hospitality.

This conversation grew out of a media visit to Sequoia Grove W**ery in Rutherford, part of Napa Valley.

Question: Think all no/lo-alcohol bubbles lack flavor? Think again!

ICYMI, I'm dealing with some health issues that currently reframe my intake of alcohol...thus, my interest in non- and low-alcoholic w**es that actually taste good.

Luckily, hope looms on the bubbly horizon.
