6 Questions with Gabrielle Succi of Costa Archi

6 Questions used to be a regular feature that I used to adore reading in the Sunday NY Times Magazine.  Now I want to bring the format to Fass Selections by featuring our favorite wine producers and their candid responses to questions. I love this format as it extends beyond the traditional wine questions and shows am irreverent human side to all the people I work with and work with us. I hope you enjoy this series and the latest installment is from the Gabrielle Succi of the brilliant "Alto Toscana" Estate, Costa Archi.
