From grape to glass, sustainability remains the ma

From grape to glass, sustainability remains the main driver of the ecological mantra at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards.

Since becoming the country’s first certified Carbon Neutral Winery over a decade ago, @tinhorncreek has also adopted Stelvin closures (simply screw caps) across the board and swapped heavy bottles for lightweight, primarily recycled glass. Most recently, the vineyard's outdated overhead sprinklers were replaced with a precisely programmed, more sustainable drip irrigation system.

Curious to know what other aspects of the winery, tasting experiences, and @miradororesto are driven by sustainability? Find out at the link in our bio.

This year marked the first time Canada hosted International Cool Climate Wine Symposium!

Now, more than ever, the topic of climate—cool or otherwise—is top-of-mind for people involved in the wine industry globally. So, unsurprisingly, the warming climate became the hottest discussion at this year’s conference. As we experience record-breaking temperatures worldwide and wine regions are ravaged by an increasing number of natural disasters, how do we adapt and adjust our viticultural and oenological practices?

See the link in our bio for the full coverage of this year’s symposium from @girlsgograpedotcom.

Our last stop on the trip to Italy this year - Castello di Querceto!

The Francois family purchased the estate back in 1897! Five generations forward and currently under the direction of President Alessandro Francois (pictured with his son), the winery has become a hallmark of a long-standing Chianti Classico winemaking tradition.

Did you know that the Francois family was also instrumental in founding the Consorzio del Chianti Classico? They are one of the few families that has remained uninterruptedly in possession of their winemaking business for more than 100 years. @castellodiquerceto is a truly special place to visit!

Do you recognize this Black Rooster from any Italian wine labels? 👇🏻

Also known as "Gallo Negro", this rooster trademark has made Chianti Classico recognizable all over the world. But Chianti Classico is only a 260 sq.km large
area within the vast Chianti region in Tuscany, which is divided into 7 sub-zones, each producing its own Chianti wine with a specific name and label.

The wines produced at Tenuta San Jacopo—just steps away from Chianti Classico—include Chianti Superiore DOCG and Chianti DOCG Riserva that are characterized by its color, ranging from ruby red to garnet red depending on age. @tenutasanjacopo's CEO Constantino Cattaneo gave us a tour of the estate, while sharing the history of his family since they've purchased the farm in 2002.

Swipe to see the photos of the winery and its charming guest house with the panoramic views of Chianti 👉🏻
