Bonus Pour: The Red That Stays After the Music Stops

In this bonus episode of Odd One Out, Odd sits down with a bottle of red wine that’s personal — because he helped bring it into the world. The Odd One Out Tuscany Blend flips tradition on its head: 70% Canaiolo, 30% Sangiovese, hand-harvested in Chianti Classico, but made the Odd way. It’s not about following rules. It’s about fruit, honesty, and making something drinkable, versatile, and a little bit odd. Odd takes you behind the vineyard gates of Tenuta la Novella, into spontaneous fermentation, stainless steel aging, and why this wine is both smashable and serious at the same time. Along the way: pizza warnings, pasta sauce hacks, a detour into No Diggity, and the bigger reason he wanted to create a red that’s neither boringly serious nor neon chaos — just good, real juice. Pour a glass (coffee mug if you must), and join Odd for a story about making wine, breaking tradition, and finding joy in the odd one out.

He’s navigated years of mental health struggles, addiction, and the slow climb back toward stability. They talk about making art in the middle of chaos, the pull of alcohol and drugs, what sobriety really changes (and what it doesn’t), and how mental health threads through all of it. This one's about survival, perspective, and finding a way to keep creating—without losing yourself completely. www.oddoneout.it Instagram: @oddoneout.wine
