Giovanni Dubini is the owner of the Palazzone winery in Orvieto and makes some of the most age‐ worthy white wines in all of Italy. He has also won numerous awards for his reds during his 40 year winemaking career. We are fortunate to have his guiding hand and words of experience at Chiesa del Carmine as our consultant winemaker. His winemaking philosophy is to keep it simple with as little intervention as possible during the process of growing and making wine. His own property produces wine organically, not by choice but by mere custom, just as the Chiesa del Carmine estate does. Giovanni has received the coveted ‘Premio Cangrande’ at Vinitaly for producers who are leaders in their field and have made outstanding contributions.
