Cristiana Tiberio
This week it's the long awaited interview with one of the most popular winemakers on the planet, Cristiana Tiberio. Her success story is due to her painstaking attention to detail and a wholistic approach to being an organic winemaker. She's a Somm fave, and one of our favourite winemakers to speak with.
Cristiana Tiberio’s star has for years been on a meteoric rise, but terroir is not something that the average producer speaks of in Abruzzo, yet it’s the focus at Tiberio. The family has continued to bottle their estate Montepulciano (a blend of their vineyards and one of the best values of the region) but also the old-vine Archivio and the aforementioned Colle Vota. In every vintage, both of these single vineyard wines demonstrate their uniqueness, and are now two of the best reds being made in the region. Pecorino, Trebbiano, Montepulciano and Cerasuolo are her main concerns. Today, we get her insights on organic farming, climate change and the importance of tradition and community.
