Why "Living soil" changes everything in your wine

We often hear that “wine is born in the vineyard,” but where does it really begin? The answer is beneath our feet, in a magical substance called Humus.

In this video, we go deep into the soil of Marronaia to show you the secret of authentic wine. Understanding humus isn't just for farmers—it's for anyone who wants to understand why a wine tastes alive, complex, and true to its land.

👉 In this episode, you’ll learn:

What is Humus? Why it’s the "beating heart" of the earth, not just dirt.

Living vs. Dead Soil: How to tell the difference just by looking at a handful of earth.

The Biology of Taste: How healthy microorganisms in the soil translate into complex aromas in your glass.

The Marronaia Method: Why we use compost, cover crops, and patience instead of quick-fix chemicals.

Resilience: Why a vine grown in living soil is stronger and needs fewer treatments.

Working with humus is the "slow way" of making wine, but it’s the only way to capture the true soul of Tuscany. When the soil is alive, the wine is alive.
