After purchasing some old bottles of Málaga wine at an auction, surprisingly bottled in the Swiss city of Lenzburg at the beginning of the last century, Stefan Persili embarks on a journey through the past and present of Málaga wines. It is a culture deeply rooted in vineyards since ancient times, which has given rise to traditions, shaped landscapes, and left a mark on people's lives, shaping their understanding of life in connection with nature and the vine.Filmed in Switzerland and Málaga, the movie traces the history of wines that once became perhaps the most renowned and prestigious in the world, and now are experiencing a strong resurgence in the hands of innovative winemakers. A historical tasting brings together friends and experts, delving into the lives of different characters: men and women who strive to preserve the viticultural heritage while also embracing new winemaking techniques that are surprising the wine world.
