Tim & Carlo Mondavi Unfiltered: Cultivating Legacy, Planting the Future

Tim Mondavi and Carlo Mondavi offer two distinct yet deeply connected perspectives shaped by decades of wine growing. Tim reflects on his role in building Robert Mondavi Winery and how Continuum Estate became a continuation of his family’s ideals, rooted in Napa’s volcanic hillsides.

Carlo shares his approach from the Sonoma Coast, where RAEN Winery focuses on precision farming, Pinot Noir, and regenerative practices that prioritize biodiversity and climate resilience. Their shared values emerge through stories of harvest, family turning points, and a philosophy that wine begins with respect for the land.

This conversation bridges generational insight with contemporary urgency—honoring tradition while pointing toward what wine can and should be in the decades ahead.
