Welcome to episode 2700 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 246 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. In this episode, Marc is in conversation with Salvatore Santus of the Agricola Punica winery located in the Basso Sulcis region of southwestern Sardinia. As well as considering Sicilian wine and cuisine more generally, this conversation explores the contribution of Giacomo Tachis (1933–2016), widely regarded as the founding father of the modern Italian wine renaissance, to the transformation of Sardinian winemaking.
