My father Angelo during the harvest |
To be honest, before the 2010 harvest would not bet much on its results as in other years.
The cold spring, the summer rainfall and the heat did not want to bring the grapes to mature not let me predict a good year .
controls in the vineyard during the days pre-harvest suggested to me to have to plant and yet still leave the grapes seemed to be tired of hanging on the vine.
year that I left no doubt on the outcome of the base to get to the champagne. But behold!
Once harvested and view the car before unloading it hardly seemed to her. And I had seen only a few days before! E 'took was a week of temperature between day and night, nice and hot during the day and night to cool naturally to change was our raw material.
Actually it took a little 'sacrifice on the part of the bestower who went more than in other years, to harvest the same piece of land on different days to obtain the state of maturation as balanced as possible.
My harvest began on Monday September 20 and lasted only eight days . Tuesday 28, in fact, about 16 came to the last tank in the basement has been granted, the last 35 pounds of just over 5000 pressed.
My optimism knows no bounds, however, because, after seeing the transformation of grapes I began to feel the first scents of fermenting must and now, tasting the wines made, but still dirty, I can say that in a few occasions I have been able to enjoy thrilling excitement as both nose and mouth!
And I was afraid I would not have been a great year ... In spite of my initial expectations, but I remember how it went and for the results! This is mainly thanks to the nature of this place , even if the weather does not always rewards us. The stagnosità nothing of the land, the inclinations of the slopes and the micro ventilation always does, once again, our territory, unique and inimitable !!!!!
try it!
