Lately our friends asked us if we still see a beauty of the nature around us or do we just get used to it. My reply was that we still take more photos of sunsets and vineyards then of our girls (and I take really plenty photos of girls though!😅). And you? Do you know to stop and just appreciate these moments?

Chronicles of a bizarre harvest, part two: the real mess.

When you know you don’t have to care about harvesting the grapes for drying anymore, which this year was like being an elephant in a china shop, the real fun begins. Everyone is in a hurry, you want the job to be finished the day before commencing, you need to be at the same time in the vineyards, at the post office, in the house videocalling the insurance company, at the supermarket, at the gas station and at the town hall to buy the tokens for the weighbridge, at least ten people are looking for you and there is always something missing or broken. In all this mess, the best thing you can do is grab a pair of scissors and forget about all the rest. When you enter the field it’s just you and the vines, nothing else matters. And yes, it’s tiring, you are all covered with sticky grape juice, if it’s hot you sweat like a pig, but at the same time you feel yourself relieved, full of positive energy, almost exhilarated. Because it’s the end of almost one year of work, because at that point you know that there had been many opportunities to loose everything in a minute, because you want so bad to see how the story goes on at the winery and in the bottles. You don’t care anymore about being tired, dirty or sweaty. Because so much work, so many fears, so many expectations all come together in that single moment, and explode into wild euphoria. Like getting past the finish line of a marathon. 😅🍇🥳

Chronicles of a bizarre harvest, part one: the selection.

Let’s face the truth, this year has been rather peculiar in many ways, and it made no exception even for the vineyards. Until the half of August the season seemed perfect, building high hopes for a good harvest. Then, what happened in the following three weeks is something that might find place in a Stephen King’s novel. Hail storms, tornadoes, floods, our countryside devastated like during a Biblical plague. Many producers in Verona lost literally everything. So, compared to this, I guess it's not that bad that in the end it was possible to select some grapes for the production of Amarone and appassimento wines. Very strict selection, really fussy. Long, slow, meticulous task. But at least there are now a few crates full of nice grapes resting in the drying room, waiting for the right moment to be pressed. So far so good... 😅🍇🥳
