Listen "From a Prison to a Castle- Travels with Marchesi Frescobaldi in Tuscany"
Episode Synopsis
The Frescobaldi family dates back more than 30 generations in Italy and owns several grand estates in Tuscany including Castello Nipozzano in DOC Chianti Rufina. This historic castle and former fortress produces world class red wines and olive oil. But the family is also tied to a famous prison located on the Island of Gorgona off the coast of Livorno. Here, the Frescobaldi is teaching prisoners to tend to the island's terraced vineyards and make an aromatic white wine under the Gorgona label.The Connected Table is broadcast live Wednesdays at 2PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).
