Carlo Petrini, founder of Slow Food, gastronome and sociologist, as well as one of the most authoritative International voices when it comes to food and not only, told WineNews in a face to face interview about wine, “the history of the last half century has been the history of the “Renaissance” of Italian wine, and how one of our most important agriculture sectors has become autonomous and self-sufficient, to the point of becoming a leading example.

What the wine world has achieved would be a virtuous attitude that could also be extended to other sectors of the agriculture system. It is a hope, and we are voicing it in a particular moment in which the needs of our planet require us all to behave virtuously. And, we must also respect the fertility of the soils and the environment.
