From fashion to wine, Alberto gets it. Alberto Moretti Cuseri from Sette Ponti on deck.

The world of Tuscan wine is more complicated than it might seem. From a fiasco (straw bottle) of Chianti to the most coveted Brunello Di Montecino's, you can find a diverse and sophisticated genre of wines.

As with most of the world wide wine scene, each family comes to the proverbial wine table with their own story as to what drew them in. In the case of the Moretti family, fashion turned to wine. Having designed and created the shoe line "Car Shoes" the Moretti family was poised to enter the passionate fray of being winemakers. And why not, both industries are not only driven by passion, but a keen marketing sense needs to prevail as well. Once the wine is in the bottle, decisions are made as to who gets access to it and how to make that happen.

Alberto sat with us at the winery to share his interpretation of the past and his vision of the future (he gave us a couple of restaurant recommendations long the way). You will hear some clapping at the end of the show...we had a small audience!
