Summary
Welcome to episode 2743 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 253 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. In this episode, Marc is joined by Marta and Camilla Cocci Grifoni of Tenuta Cocci Grifoni, a historic family-owned winery in Italy's Marche region. Together, they explore the rich winemaking heritage of Le Marche, the story behind the estate and its relais, Guido Cocci Grifoni's pivotal role in rescuing the Pecorino grape from extinction, the significance of Rosso Piceno DOC and the winery's flagship wines, as well as its commitment to sustainability, PIWI varieties, Il Manifesto, and the evolving role of women in wine. More about today’s guest: Tenuta Cocci Grifoni is a family-run winery that today cares for 65 hectares of vineyards, cultivating both native grape varieties and disease-resistant vines. Since the early 20th century, its research activity has been closely intertwined with the history of winemaking in the Marche region. In the 1980s, the estate helped rediscover the Pecorino grape together with other local growers. Later came its opening to hospitality with Relais Cocci Grifoni, alongside a constant commitment to the ecosystem and biodiversity. Since 2024, Tenuta Cocci Grifoni has been fully organic, vegan, and Equalitas certified.
