Episode Details

Welcome to Episode 2675 and Episode 11 of The Art of Wine Storytelling with Ryan Robinson. 

Episode 11: Between Reality and Imagination: A Metaphor for Wine Growing Landscape.

In this episode, Ryan Robinson explores how we tell the story of wine through autochthony, geography, and landscape.

We reconsider the meaning of autochthony, explore the local identities shaping Italian wine and their relationship with the wider world, and look at the wine-growing landscape as more than physical space—a place shaped by symbolism, stories, and people.

How can we talk about wine more thoughtfully and turn knowledge into meaningful ideas? The future belongs to those who can create compelling, human stories.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, an eager student, or simply a curious wine lover, The Art of Wine Storytelling takes you on a journey that bridges ancient history with modern consumer culture. Discover how wine is much more than just a drink – it’s a narrative shaped by centuries of tradition, innovation and human interaction. Ignite your imagination, deepen your appreciation for wine, and be inspired to savor not just what’s in the bottle, but the remarkable story behind each and every glass.
