I've been making wine predominantly most of my life 02:43.000 --> 02:45.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and then I came to Barboursville 02:45.000 --> 02:49.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% to help this vineyards expand 02:51.000 --> 02:55.166 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% and increase the quality of their wine. 02:55.166 --> 02:56.666 align:left

this place. 03:06.266 --> 03:08.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>You play such a big role. 03:08.333 --> 03:11.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Tell us about the rest of your team, too. 03:11.100 --> 03:15.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Our team is composed of many different people 03:15.866 --> 03:18.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% from actually quite a few countries. 03:18.200 --> 03:19.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And starting from the vineyards, 03:19.700 --> 03:23.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% we have a team that is more hands on. 03:23.433 --> 03:26.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% The agricultural part, Fernando, our manager, 03:26.366 --> 03:28.466 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% is from El Salvador. 03:28.466 --> 03:31.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Then, from there we have the winemaking team. 03:31.400 --> 03:34.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% we have any Italian associate winemaker Daniele Tessaro 03:34.933 --> 03:37.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and then we have, of course, 03:37.800 --> 03:39.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the most, very important part is the team 03:39.866 --> 03:41.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% that promotes our wine, 03:41.833 --> 03:45.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that receives every day the visitors at the vineyard, 03:45.433 --> 03:49.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and with kindness and patience explains 03:49.033 --> 03:52.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% how we make the wine and why our wine tastes a certain way. 03:52.566 --> 03:54.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% >>It's a wonderful team. 03:54.733 --> 03:57.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So how many varieties do you grow now? 03:57.766 --> 04:00.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>We grow 18 different varieties. 04:00.833 --> 04:05.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Although five of them represent almost 80% 04:05.533 --> 04:07.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% of our total production. 04:07.000 --> 04:10.833 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Reason is that they have shown 04:10.833 --> 04:15.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% the most consistency in quality and are able to produce 04:17.200 --> 04:20.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% a good wine even in adverse vintage like 2018. 04:20.600 --> 04:23.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>And award winning wines, your Octagon wine. 04:23.966 --> 04:26.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Barboursville is known for that. 04:26.900 --> 04:30.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Since my very early days, that desire I had, 04:30.666 --> 04:35.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% it was to create the best wine I could from this soil, 04:36.833 --> 04:41.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and therefore, I started observing and testing 04:42.866 --> 04:44.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% which variety would produce the best wine. 04:44.466 --> 04:49.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I started identifying at very early time Cabernet Franc. 04:50.566 --> 04:52.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And I recall the vintage of 1982, for example, 04:52.933 --> 04:57.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% which was a difficult season as it was 18 for us last year. 04:57.333 --> 04:58.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% >>Rain. 04:58.533 --> 05:00.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>The best wine we made was Cabernet Franc. 05:00.333 --> 05:03.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I told the owner, this is what we should plant 05:03.000 --> 05:04.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% and a lot of it. 05:04.433 --> 05:07.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And we start planting Cabernet Franc quite extensively, 05:07.766 --> 05:10.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and later on it really became, with Merlot, 05:10.366 --> 05:13.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% the foundation of our flagship red wine Octagon, 05:13.300 --> 05:17.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% which not only is a very good wine, excellent wine, 05:17.200 --> 05:20.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% but it has a capability of aging for over 20 years. 05:20.566 --> 05:22.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>Well, and that's one of the things you like to say 05:22.566 --> 05:25.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% when people ask you what's new at the vineyard. 05:25.533 --> 05:26.900 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55% You say-- 05:26.900 --> 05:29.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>I say the new is the old. 05:29.466 --> 05:31.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>The new is the old and and what's new 05:31.766 --> 05:33.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% is that you have something really lovely. 05:33.633 --> 05:36.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>And it's an older wine and also it's a wine 05:36.000 --> 05:39.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% made with very traditional techniques. 05:39.433 --> 05:43.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I look a lot in the past, when it comes to winemaking, 05:43.500 --> 05:46.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and also the experience we collect as vintner 05:46.900 --> 05:50.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% working the same ground for decades. 05:50.366 --> 05:52.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% People sometimes forget 05:52.533 --> 05:56.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that Virginia really is this roller coaster of weather, 05:56.233 --> 05:58.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% which is very similar to where I'm from in Italy, 05:58.633 --> 06:00.266 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% in Piemonte the same thing. 06:00.266 --> 06:04.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% And therefore, for us, when we have the condition, 06:04.600 --> 06:07.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% we reap the best we can from it. 06:07.066 --> 06:10.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% When we don't have them, we do the same. 06:10.366 --> 06:12.166 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% But in those lesser season, 06:12.166 --> 06:13.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% we don't make our flagship red wine 06:13.866 --> 06:16.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and some other wine we don't produce them at all. 06:16.233 --> 06:18.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>Right, because if it isn't top quality-- 06:18.000 --> 06:19.466 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% >>Absolutely. 06:19.466 --> 06:20.333 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% >>Shall we try it? 06:20.333 --> 06:21.533 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% I've been waiting. 06:21.533 --> 06:22.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% >>Yes, absolutely! (Terri laughs) 06:22.700 --> 06:23.900 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% >>Really patiently. 06:23.900 --> 06:26.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>Yeah, this is a 2004, which actually-- 06:26.666 --> 06:28.400 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% >>Oh, 2004! 06:28.400 --> 06:31.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>Yeah, which actually in Virginia as a whole 06:31.566 --> 06:33.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% was not considered one of the top vintages, 06:33.800 --> 06:35.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% but I really liked it 06:35.033 --> 06:38.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and so I retain a lot of bottles in aging, 06:38.100 --> 06:43.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and now we're releasing it and the wine is fantastic, so. 06:43.000 --> 06:46.533 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% (distant train horn blows) 06:52.566 --> 06:54.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% It's very fragrant, it's very savory. 06:55.900 --> 06:59.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% It has notes almost of tobacco, cedar, 06:59.333 --> 07:04.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% which is typical character that a wine acquires in aging. 07:05.533 --> 07:07.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% >>Yeah, it has such a nice full body 07:07.000 --> 07:09.566 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% but it's there's a lightness to it as well. 07:09.566 --> 07:12.566 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% Oh, and it's still surprising me!

Connecticut and New York City. 15:15.266 --> 15:18.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I was running the Soho center in four different locations, 15:18.966 --> 15:22.800 align:left

size:77.5% to live in a beautiful place and have another chapter, 15:32.600 --> 15:35.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and we came to Virginia and found a place 15:35.433 --> 15:38.566
