The taste of wine in ancient Roman times

Season’s Greetings
20 December 2019
As our tradition, we remember the 2019 (that is ending) with a small publication, with 3 languages (Italian, English and German).
It starts with the harvest, the crucial year moment for us, but then traces the main events and some news for the new year.
This year’s quote is from Edoardo Hughes Galeano, Uruguayan journalist and writer, one of the major personalities of contemporary Latin American culture, who died in 2015. We liked it because it underlines, with subtle irony, that it is essentially the function of wine, since time immemorial: giving joy to our days, making us forget the worries of life, as well as love.
Here you can also find it in pdf format.

Biologa specializzata in biologia vegetale, da oltre vent’anni sono vignaiola a Guado al Melo, a Bolgheri (Toscana), con mio marito, dove produciamo vino territoriale ed artigianale, in modo sostenibile. Il vino per me è una passione trasversale: lo si capisce veramente solo mettendo insieme scienza, natura e cultura.
In origin a plant biologist, from over 20 years I am a winemaker at Guado al Melo, in the Bolgheri DOC (Tuscany), with my husband, where we produce terroir-expressive and artisan wines, following a sustainable philosophy. Into the wine I have found all my different passions: in fact, we can understand it only by combining together science, nature and culture.
