There’s a moment in June when the vineyard takes a deep breath. And in that breath—among the vibrant green leaves and the sun warming the year’s promises—walks Livia Fontana, winemaker and guardian of one of the noblest wine territories: Barolo.
In this new short film shot among the rows of her estate, Livia takes us along for a walk that’s also a story: the silent strength of roots, the daily work, and the delicate balance between respect and
“Everything speaks in the vineyard—you just have to listen,” she seems to say, calmly but firmly.
The video, slow-paced and authentic, captures a true snapshot of rural life: a time for observation, green pruning, manual selection, and hands that get dirty out of love and care. It’s also a tribute to female viticulture, blending sensitivity with skill, beauty with pragmatism.
Amid breathtaking views of the Langhe hills, Livia’s voice becomes agricultural poetry, the living memory of a family, a region, and a way of making wine that rejects noise and embraces silence and quality.
A short film, yet full of depth. An invitation to pause and watch. To understand that every great wine begins like this: with a woman walking gently through the vines in June.
