About the film MONDOVINO:
A thought-provoking film about wine and wine culture, MONDOVINO was made by award-winning director and sometime sommelier, Jonathan Nossiter. Filmed in five languages over a three-year period, the documentary features interviews with Michel Rolland, Robert Parker, Hubert de Montille, Aime Guibert, Neal Rosenthal and members of the Mondavi family. Juxtaposing mom-and-pop wine growers with conglomerates, Nossiter intertwines multiple family drama and uncovers a complex tapestry of conflicts, conspiracies, and alliances that all stem from the production, distribution and consumption of one of the oldest remaining and most respected luxuries.
