Sezoni 1
Epick në përmasë, kjo saga shumë-gjeneratëshe që përshkon globin mbulon jo vetëm të gjithë gamën e prodhimit të verës, por edhe vendin e verës në një botë të globalizuar dhe hiper-marketing. Nga brokerët e fuqishëm miliarderë të Napa Valley, te rivalitetet aristokratike të dinastive konkurruese florentine, deri te përpjekjet e tre brezave të një familjeje burgundase që luftojnë për të ruajtur disa akra toke, MONDOVINO: SERIA sjell në jetë dramën (dhe komedinë) njerëzore të prodhimit të verës. E xhiruar gjatë disa viteve dhe në pesë gjuhë të ndryshme, seria përmban shumë takime intime me figurat më ikonike dhe kontroversiale të botës së verës, duke përfshirë kritikun e njohur Robert Parker, mogulin legjendar të verës Robert Mondavi, koleksionistin e çuditshëm të artit Jan Schrem, dhe pronarin fisnik të vreshtit mitik Romanée Conti. Nga Firenze në Burgund, nga New York në Argjentinë, çdo episod një-orësh qëndron vetë si një pjesë pasionante dhe qesharake e filmit dokumentar.
