Behind Chianti Classico | Gioia Cresti on Wine, Life & Carpineta Fontalpino

In Episode 1 of The Wine Resistance, Master of Wine Jacky Blisson meets Gioia Cresti, one of Italy’s most respected organic winemakers.

At Carpineta Fontalpino, Gioia farms with restraint, intuition, and a deep sense of reciprocity guided by the Latin principle Do ut des (“I give so that you may give”). Her wines are shaped by altitude, patience, and an unshakable bond to the land.

This intimate conversation explores:
– What resistance means in modern winemaking
– Farming organically in Chianti Classico
– Legacy, climate pressure, and cultural change
– Why wine is more than a product: it’s culture, memory, and connection

🍷 The Wine Resistance is an interview-driven series spotlighting winemakers and tastemakers who refuse to give up on wine’s future. Around a table. With a glass in hand. In simplicity, moderation, and joy.
