In this episode of Life is Grape in Tuscany, we venture into the green hills of Chianti Rufina to meet Alice of Forno La Torre, a new-generation baker with deep roots. Her family’s bakery specializes in naturally leavened bread made from local grains, and she’s preserving a tradition that’s as much about sustainability and place as it is about taste.

We talk about the challenges and rewards of working with ancient methods, her connection to the Slow Food movement, and why sourdough is more than a trend—it’s a lifestyle. You’ll even hear how her breads made their way to Formaggioteca Terroir, our Florence-based cheese and wine shop, where you can taste the difference for yourself.

This episode is for food lovers, slow life believers, and anyone who knows that behind every loaf of great bread is a great story.
