Last night I revisted my favorite wine film “The Secret of Santa Vittoria.”  The second viewing was better than the first and the wine I enjoyed during the viewing tasted sweeter than ever.  Killer Juice Cabernet Paso Robles in the 3 litre box.  ”Its not a great wine, but eh…..its not bad!”  The movie totally fit this wine perfectly.  

The movie is set in Souther Italy and is a lighthearted tale about rural italian life and Nazi occupation of Italy post-Mussolini “the tyrant.”  It was common for the Nazi’s to steal all the Italians wine and the Italians had no way to defend themselves.

I highly suggest this movie to all wine lovers.  The acting and theatrics of this movie are stunning and I guarantee you will want to hop the next plan to Santa Vittoria after seeing this 1969 film.  

Here is a sample of the movie
