Italian Wine Podcast Ep. 2489 Marco Iuppa from Cantine Iuppa | Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon
Welcome to episode 2489 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 212 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. Today Marc is in conversation with Marco Iuppa from Cantine Iuppa.
This episode of the Italian Wine Podcast is powered by Dialect Imports.
More about the guest:
Cantine Iuppa is renowned for producing authentic, high-quality organic wines from Etna's indigenous grape varieties, such as Carricante and Nerello Mascalese, using a blend of traditional and modern winemaking techniques on the volcano's eastern slope in Milo. The winery is known for its Etna Rosso, Etna Bianco, and even a Champenoise method sparkling wine made from Nerello Mascalese, all reflecting Etna's unique terroir. Today, the next generation, including Marco Iuppa, is involved in running the estate with the same commitment to quality, sustainability, and authentic expression. Marco frequently travels across the United States with his importers, Christina Solazzo and her father Antony, owners of Dialect Imports.
