Ep 45: Nic Rizzi - owner and founder of Modal Wines
b'
Today\\u2019s guest is the owner and founder of Modal Wines. Nic imports small-batch, distinctive wines from independent producers who all make wine in a way that works with nature, using as little intervention in the vineyards and the cellars as possible.
Pre-Covid Nic only supplied directly to restaurants but given the times has had to adapt and now lucky for us, supplies directly to consumers. Personally, I just love all his wines and Modal\\u2019s whole ethos and everything it stands for - sourcing product made with care in a way that respects nature, always placing importance on flavour and quality, and transparent supply chains that are built on human relationships.
We talk about Nic\\u2019s background and how he set up Modal Wines, what he loves about working in the industry, and we also do a tasting of one of Nic\\u2019s wines.
You may notice some new tunes in the episode... Nic also happens to be a talented musician and used to work full time in the music biz, until just last year, so all the music in this episode was created by him.
Wine is such a vast, nuanced topic and it can feel difficult to even know where to begin. What I really enjoyed about speaking to Nic is that he makes it so unintimidating, and really approachable.
Nic is super passionate about what he does, I loved chatting to him, and I know you\\u2019re going to enjoy hearing his story\\u2026
Happy listening!
