And I'm sitting here with a very beautiful lady at the, Mata Baraglione. I hope I said that okay. Thank you. And and you're, from the Baraglione Vigna. Yeah. And so I guess my first question is what do you do for the winery? And, tell me a bit about yourself and the history of your winery. Thank you. Thank you for inviting me. And, you spell my name so well. Oh my god. Thank you, guys. So, no, I have a winery, my family home winery, since nineteen twenty one, so more than one hundred years of history. And, actually, everything was started with my great grandfather just for fun because we are from Poria in the area of the primitive, Vodi Mondoria. I love that stuff. So in the past, they wasn't that common during Remitivos. So the person who really developed the business was my grandfather. And then my father actually started to, give an international printing to the one with south. But today, I'm the business developer of the winery. I'm in charge especially for marketing and sales, but I'm also the Brenda Bass ambassador, of course, of the of the winery. And, I guess it's something that it's so tough to explain because there is a such an emotional attachment for everything you do Right. Especially if something is yours. Yeah. Satisfaction plus it's yours. So you care a lot more. So, no, that's great. So I guess my question, today would be, what is the winding featured in the master class, the elegance of Italian red wine? Well, the the elegance of Italian red wines, I think that, Italy is so special because for every single region from south to north, it's very easy to appreciate, how the soil, the French, there are can have an impact, a big impact the on the grape Great.

Don't forget to visit our YouTube channel, mama jumbo shrimp for fascinating videos covering Stevie Kim and her travels across Italy beyond, meeting winemakers, eating local food, and taking in the scenery. Now, back to the show. So in our case, the elegance in Southern part of Italy could be, how to manage the, high helpful percentage together with, a very smooth timing. So everything stay in the balance. Okay. As well as the, the northern part of Italy, need to pay attention much more to the maturation on the tunnel and not to the acidity. So everywhere you go, you find such a great producers, that invest a lot on the elegance. Okay. And and what is the wine called that is in the in the in the master class? It's going to be the pakale auto pre b t volume and duria, where primitive even doing it, of course, as I told you before. It's the very main grape. And, Papale, is the name of Glenn, the city is a crew. A name Papale, after the pope that in seventeen twenty four was the very first owner of this piece of land. Oh, really? Yeah. So when when we bought this piece of land, we said, why the ballet? And they tell about, this guy. So we report, all the story on our upfront label. Of the Popaleo. And the Popaleo is a great selection of such, old vinyl, but, bush wine bush wine. So we go for a handy car, best hunting selection in very early morning. And then we go for a very long maturation, and aging, especially in French barrels, to give to the wine, the smooth and the maturity and the macro skin donation. Okay. And then just a small passage in American America because you want the international cash. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Of the wine. It's a crew that we release only the best drinks. And it's the wine that represent our winery across seventy different countries, though, all around the world. Yes. Wow. You're evasive. Alright. So I guess, this is that your flagship wine? Okay. So it's the one in the same. Okay. Yeah. Because it could have been different, but that's great. No. That's great. So seventy different countries. Okay. So you export to Germany? Yes. Yes. Okay. Great. And is there a a country or an area or a market? It is all the same thing, but where you would like to be in that you're not in yet? Oh, wow. That's a good question. For sure, the emirates in general. Oh, wow. Yeah. I haven't heard that. Yet today. I know it's strange because, we export such a lot, but I think that, that kind of market is still to export floor and still to, let's say, conquer, not only for us, for the wine board in general. So if I have to make a wish, maybe that that one could be, you know, a dream too. Yeah. You would get to go there and, like, at the chance to promote any amazing grave. Yeah. That sounds exciting. I I want your job. Okay. Well, thank you so much for taking your time, and it was really, really lovely talking to you. And I wish you at a very, very nice, finish.
