Synopsis:
Ten years after «Mondovino», an analysis of the increasingly standardized wine production in France, wine expert Jonathan Nossiter picks up the thread again and shows what it means to be rooted in the soil you're working on. During walks through the vineyards and relaxed gatherings with a group of alternative Italian wine growers, he trades experiences and arguments. What looks like a bucolic paradise, is actually revealed to be a battleground. The only thing saving the landscape from being totally destroyed is affluent foreigners using the old vineyards as summer holiday homes.
