In this episode, Ryan Robinson explores how ancient vine-training systems reveal the cultural boundaries between early Italian viticulture and that of ancient Greek colonizers. From vines trained on living trees in Italy to different practices in ancient Greece, these traditions offer clues about how viticulture developed across the Mediterranean. Ryan also reflects on how we tell and understand wine stories today, from the limitations of wine tourism and maps to the importance of preserving a wine’s story as it moves through the three-tier system.
