Have you ever been sitting around with your friends, talking and laughing...maybe a little drinking, and you came up with this crazy idea? Whatever the idea was, one of you in the group thought it was nuts and you let it go. But what would happen if you actually did it? Three friends in southern Italy had the idea to make sparkling wines in Italy similar to Champagne. They didn’t just talk about it though, they did it! Fast forward to now and we’re talking with a daughter of the original three men as she tells us of her role in the business and what it’s like to make sparkling wine in Italy.  In this episode meet Anna D'Amico from D'Arapri Winery in Puglia, Italia.
