Welcome to episode 2516 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 216 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. Today Marc is in conversation with Riccardo Giorgi and Adeline Maillard of the Cián du Giorgi winery in the Cinque Terre. More about the guest: The Cián du Giorgi winery is a small family-run winery located in the Cinque Terre National Park in Liguria between the villages of Vernazza and Corniglia. The winery's cellar is situated in the medieval village of San Bernardino, and its vineyards are on the steep terraces overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The Cián du Giorgi winery primarily makes white and rosé wines, reflecting its location in the Cinque Terre region. Key wines include the white wine Amante Dei Venti, a blend of Vermentino, Bosco, and Albarola grapes, and Amante del Sole, a macerated, orange wine also made from local white grapes. They also produce a rosé called Ade. Riccardo Giorgi and Adeline Maillard are the owners of the winery, a couple in their life and in their work, but most of all, wine experts and constantly looking for authenticity and beauty.
