Storyline

Across three continents, "MONDOVINO" weaves together the family sagas of billionaire Napa Valley power brokers, the rivalry of two aristocratic Florentine dynasties and the fight of three generations of a Burgundian family to preserve their few acres of land. But are all these struggles secondary to a gleefully mischievous pirate from Bordeaux as he spreads the gospel of modernity from Italy to New York to Argentina? Wine has been a symbol of Western civilization for thousands of years. Never has the fight for its soul been as desperate. Never has there been so much money -and glory- at stake. But the battle lines are not what you'd expect: local versus multinational, simple peasants versus powerful captains of industry. In the world of wine, the usual suspects are never where you'd expect.
