THE SERIES
MONDOVINO
The ultimate series about wine and wine culture
Ten Hour-long Episodes
Epic in scope, this multi-generation, globe-trotting saga covers not
only the
entire gamut of wine making, but wine's place in a treacherously globalized
and hyper-marketed world. From the billionaire power brokers of Napa Valley,
to
the aristocratic rivalries of competing Florentine dynasties, to the efforts
of three generations of a Burgundian family fighting to preserve their few
acres of land, MONDOVINO: THE SERIES brings to life the human drama (and
comedy) of wine making. Shot over several years and in five different
languages, the series features numerous intimate encounters with the wine
world's most iconic and controversial figures, including the übercritic
Robert Parker, legendary wine mogul Robert Mondavi, zany art collector Jan
Schrem, and the noble proprietor of the mythical
Romanée Conti vineyard.
From Florence to Burgundy, New York to Argentina, each hour-long episode
stands alone as a passionate and hilarious piece of documentary filmmaking.
