Joe Pantoliano stars as Mark Gentile, a downtrodden CEO who escapes to his small town birthplace in rural Italy to catch his breath and reassess his priorities. During his visit he encounters his late grandfather’s old vineyard, dormant for many years but for the few bottles the local groundskeeper raises alone. Inspired by the small town of Acerenza and reinvigorated after connecting with his estranged family, Mark’s journey of redemption and reconnection shows that the grape never falls far from the vine..
