Women in Wine – 14th October
Beatriz Cabral Almeida, winemaker at Quinta dos Carvalhais in Portugal’s Dão region, combines a background in microbiology and oenology with a deep connection to Portuguese terroir.
Sofia Ricasoli, the fifth generation of the Ricasoli family and founder of Innesto, is creating her own expression of Tuscan winemaking, drawing on generations of Chianti Classico heritage.
Sophie Cossy took over her family’s Champagne estate at just 25 following the death of her father. Today, she leads Champagne Sophie Cossy in the Montagne de Reims, creating expressive, terroir-led Champagnes while carrying forward a family history in the vineyards that stretches back to 1764.
Nicole Rolet is co-founder and principal of Chêne Bleu, a pioneering Rhône estate born from the restoration of an abandoned medieval priory and vineyard in Provence. Her work has placed sustainability, biodiversity and thoughtful winemaking at the heart of the estate.
