Italian Grandpa Teaches Me How To Make Authentic Homemade Wine 

This was such a special treat to see Nonno in his element doing something that he was taught by his elders so many years ago. Something very beautiful about the process of making wine in the old fashioned diy way. Thanks so much for sharing this and all of the wonderful, fascinating content your channel puts out. I can't get enough of Nonno, Nonna and their beautiful family ❤ Im so grateful to all of the amazing Italian Canadians who chose to call this part of the world home. The amount of culture they brought here is incredible.

It doesn’t get better than that! Nonno teaching his grandson to carry on the tradition and art of wine making. Wonderful!!

I truly enjoy watching these videos so much! His energy and drive to do things homemade is amazing! He is such an interesting person. It just makes your soul feel a little better to know there are still good people out there. Also, everyone loves a silver fox 🤣🤣🤣

I love Nonno. I think it’s so amazing that you’re documenting it all so you can pass it on to your family and ours. My dad‘s been gone for decades and I wish I had a video of him making his meatballs and homemade sauce. 😢 but I have your spicy Nonna in the amazing Nonno! Thank you so much for that. Girl with dogs two keep promoting them otherwise I never would’ve found your grandparents

Your Nonno is such a great teacher! I could watch him all day ❤

Thank you for this window into history! It was fascinating and Nonno seems to love sharing his knowledge, which is the hallmark of the best teachers. I appreciate the work you all put in to filming and editing for us!

My grandfather used to make wine. It was the best tasting wine I have ever had! Thank you for sharing this. ❤

wow affascinante ! grazie Nonno e grazie al nipotino pure... con saluti da Palermo! 💚🤍❤

I'm southern italian I got gray really early too it's the nature of the Beast

My Nonno and Nonna on both sides immigrated to Toronto in the 50s as well. My parents along with them. What a beautiful video. My dad used to make wine with my Nonno and I’ll never forget the smell! If the wine was not the best, my Nonno would put some ginger ale in it to cut the acid and let us try. At 34 I still do this if I don’t like a particular wine 😂Keep making these beautiful memories with them, you’ll never forget 🥹

Is there nothing your nonno can't do. Your grandparents are so self-reliant. Bravo. They are great example for people. Bravo !

I am so proud of Nonno. He is a very smart, hard-working man and a good example to follow . I love Nonna and Nonno so much that I am talking about them to my husband and children so much. Any chance I have. I follow Nonnas recipes and have fun watching them cooking, talking about their experience in life and whenever they fight 😊.

These are the grandparents the world has needed! Thank you for sharing their knowledge. It is amazing to learn from them.

I'm taking the WSET Level 3 certificate in wine right now and I shared this with my class - it's super informative for people that are learning about the winemaking process and it's always a treat to get a little Julio time 😍 Thanks for sharing 🥂

I’m not Italian and my family came to the US several generations ago, but I was fortunate to grow up in a small town with many Italian families. Some of my friends had grandparents who spoke only Italian. I’ve always wished I was first generation, because the Italian family ties are so strong. You are so lucky to have your Italian grandparents, who share their rich culture with you, but you already know that… Thank you for sharing them with all of us. I just found your channel and I subscribed immediately. I’m going to binge watch now and drift off into theirs and your beautiful world. ❤

What an amazing video! Thank you and Nonno for sharing the old way!

Grandpa made wine just like that. Wooden barrel - Boots and all. The best. All the hard work made you appreciate the delicious wine even more. Love this video. Sherry 🥰💞🙏🍇🍷

Such a wonderful treat to let us go through this with you and Nonno. Thanks for sharing.

It's so heartwarming to hear Italian grandfathers exclaim "good boy" to their grandsons.

My husband was borned in a little village called Montemilone ( Basilicata ) and he used to pick grapes 🍇 with his Nonno Rocco and transport them in baskets on a donkey to the cantina. Luigi and his cousin Ernesto did press the wine by using their feet too. It's a good childhood memory who my husband really treasures to this day. Thank you for giving us this special treat it really warms our hearts to see this done! Greetings to you all from me, Susanne and Luigi in Sweden 👋❤🍷salute 😉👍🇸🇪.

Great video! Had to go back and watch the 'I love Lucy' episode where she crushed grapes!👍😂 Nonno was clearly in his element and having a great day with is grand kids!

This was so interesting! That press with the added layers is a lesson in mechanics. I really appreciated Nonno's explanations. I hope this will be an outstanding vintage for you, Nonno!

This was an amazing video. I sure wish I had that press, big jars and such. I have made wine many times but on a smaller scale but this looks so fun.

7:55 "this may be the last time I do" Ugh, I hate that! I have a feeling that he's been saying that for the last 10 times he's made wine though lol i'm glad that your family will always have these videos of your Nonno & Nonna. I can tell that both of them are so special ❤ god bless your beautiful family.

I love Nonno!!! I miss my grandpa so much, watching this made me cry! Please give him a hug for me, and let him know he he beloved by his internet grandkids 😂❤

This is so amazing. Nonno making wine and giving us a history lesson on how it is made. So many steps and yet he is resilient at this age to give us the entire process. This is absolutely priceless. Nonno is a treasure.❤

One of the best wine videos. Grandpa is adorable.❤

God bless the old timers! I am Portuguese and I remember making wine with my father back in the day! Both channels are awesome. Much much love from Connecticut!

I love wine, and though I've been on many winery tours I felt like I learned more from Nono's explanation. This was beautifully done Julian. Thanks for letting me borrow your grandparents today, it was needed 💜

So full of culture. Elders always got the class. You helped me learn something I didn't know and honestly Im very grateful for your channel and this video. Thanks for sharing with the rest of the world.

Brings back great memories from when my father made wine!!! We used half Zinfandel and half Moscatel Branco. My dad would make the best Red Wine in our Community. Best Wishes!

❤ I sincerely appreciate this channel. Both educational and entertaining.

Maybe you could do a "Shopping with Nonno/Nonna" video, if they have local Italian stores they like to shop at to get authentic products? It would be interesting to see what bakeries and delis they shop at for anything they don't grow or make themselves. Include any visit to a social club or church group too if that's something they do.

One of the best home made wine videos I have seen. It covers all the essentials, as well as showing some wonderful equipment. I love the ratchet.

Am a Muslim I don’t drink and we don’t have this kind of culture but I really enjoyed watching this and now am craving grapes so bad 😅 .. Kudos to nonno wish u health u and nonna

I can smell it through the screen!!! Mmmmm

What a nice video and so informative!! My friend drank a lot of wine one night in Rome and had no headache the next day. She attributed it to NO Sulfites in the Roman wine which is produced for local consumption, just like Nonno's.🥰

New fan and subscriber here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve binge watched your videos 3 days now. Your Nonno and Nonna brought back so many memories from home and own childhood. I’m from Croatia, Adriatic is between us … but culture is 80% same

Wonderful old traditions

I love watching Nonno from the garden to being handy dandy with his make it better gadgets. The making of the wine was very interesting. Such wisdom I love it !

This guy is amazing , love these videos

This is the coolest thing, to be learning from your grandfather like this. Thank you for sharing!

I just love your family you are truly blessed ❤ lots of love from New Jersey ❤

Truly, the most wholesome content on RU-vid.

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

Thank you for taking the time to share this time honored tradition with us. It was a joy to watch this process. Nice reminder of all the necessary steps that must be followed once the grapes come off the vine. A good reminder of how spoiled we are to just grab a bottle from the shelf. As an aside: women find prematurely gray headed men sexy.....

Thank you so much for showing us this wonderful tradition of wine making. It was fascinating! Nono is a renaissance man for sure!

Thanks for sharing-so interesting!

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

Beautiful! All of it, Beautiful!

One day sure as hell I would have grandsons and granddaughters and I will teach them my knowledge and raise them with love.

I adore your grandparents and your family ! Love the content keep it coming!

So beautiful to learn that from your grandfather. Thanks for sharing

Great Video! Nonno you are amazing, Nonna as well! Beautiful talents.

Julian & Nonno that was an AMAZING 🍇 lesson on home wine making from scratch. Thank You 🙏🏼 🍷

❤love this❤ thank you for this video. Nonno reminds me so much of my father. These videos warm my heart. Love and hugs to nonno and nonna ❤🤗❤️🤗❤️

‘Today, I decided to make wine’ is something you don’t hear often nowadays. Amazing ❤

I really enjoyed this video. Every time I watch your channel I miss my grandparents so bad. They taught to me so much.

This is amazing ❤ he is the best, y'all are blessed

Now all I want to do is order some wine grapes and make wine. And how could you even ask Nonno, 'Did you make this?' when you talked about the switch... I know he said he bought the grape crusher, but I'd bet he's repaired it numerous times, so even that he could say he made. Such a wonderful family. Thank you so much for sharing these moments.

This is so special. FAMILY is the core of every individual... Lafamilia ❤️

This is wonderful ❤. Treasure this always and thank you so much for sharing! ❤

Oh I remember the smell of the grapes fermenting in the garage. Brings back some great memories! Thank you Julian.❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful job! Thank you for your Labour of Love Nonno! ❤️🍷

Thanks for this precious video 🎊🙌🎊

The Dryer the Better !!!!!!! YUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this channel so much and I’m not even Italian. Love watching the old school stuff. Thank you and to see these young kids doing these videos on their grandparents. Does the soul good?

wow, what a gift... Two luckiest guys I have seen in a long long time...

I love that he is teaching you the old ways!

Loved the video! Your grandpa is so cool! Thanks for sharing the ancient knowledge of making wine!

Guys, I just wanna say that I always look forward to these videos. Reminds me of spending to with my grandfather. Thanks so much for posting them.

Love this, thank you for sharing!

My father never made wine but my grandfather did. I was too small to remember that. But my dad would help his dad. He said my grampa made blackberry wine. My dad and uncles had the job of going out in the country to pick blackberries. Tubs of them. I did get to see the wine press my grandpa used. An antique now. Because nobody makes wine. This film was very instructive.

Thank you very much!!! I remembered how I made wine in Moldova with my grandparents!!! God bless you!

My heart just burst open and took me back 30 years-except it was my Sicillian Dad making wine in Western Australia-don't ever forget these times!

Your grandparents are treasures! I'm taking you up on your offer to borrow them. Much joy to you all, L

Spectacular! Nono is a man of many talents!

I loved watching this! My husband's grandma's family has vineyards in Calabria along the coast. He never learned the art of winemaking so this was fascinating! I can't wait to share this with him

My landlord when I lived in California used to make his own wine, I loved it because no added sulfates equals no hangover! He was from Northern Spain in the Basque region, and he would buy the grape juice, so no need to crush or press. It's really interesting to see how the process looks from grape to resting/fermenting. I know that Nonno is making a fantastic dry wine, see you next year Christmas for the reveal!🍇🍷

This was a right of passage for me as a child and sooooo much fun.

This was so interesting! Love Nonno and his amazing talents!

Thanks Nonna for the video! Give us more.

Learn as much as you can, they don't make them like this anymore :) Brilliant man.

This was wonderful, I enjoy every episode of this channel.

I wish I was Italian and had a family like this !!!!❤

Intricate process. thats a lot of hard work. savor every drop of that wine 😊🌷

Don’t know how I came across your channel but I love it! Your Nonna and Nonno are adorable ❤! Both my parents were born and raised in Italy and came to Canada 🇨🇦 when they were 20 and I remember all these things growing up, I love seeing your videos of all the things they cook and do. Keep up the great videos, I love watching them ❤

UNBELIEVABLE how awesome!! Vino for a year!!! Amazing I pray I get to make it some day!!!!!

Awesome. Your Nonno, his voice and mannerisms remind me so much of mine. Enjoy him!

Hi Nonno, and Julian, fascinating process of how to make wine, I never saw how good wine was made,so thank you so much for sharing this process with us. Love Katherine xoxo

Loved this. So entertaining and educational. We need to pass these skills on. Thank you and God willing we will be watching you drink the wine next Christmas 2024.

I am so proud of you nono stay healthy. I will see you next time on your vlog❤ watching from Canada

Amazing to watch. I heard my uncles talk about making wine this way but couldn’t envision the process. Now I have a point of reference.

Che bello vedere questi antichi procedimenti!! Mi ricorda la mia infanzia!!💗🔥

Wonderful in every way. Thank you and cheers from Outback Australia, Rolf (Rodolfo)

I love the way his grandfather wine making process

Hats off to the new generation that took time to learn what his grandfather did when he was young. Even the machine that was used in the olden days is much better than what we now use. Great grandpa and grandson at work. God bless you’ll.

My new fave channel !! Awesome 👏

This is so Amazing!! You don't learn this in the books....am blessed I came across this channes🙏🏿❤️❤️

Just look at nonno's wine production, how adorable is that? Love you guys!
