You are off the lights: Gone are the days of Fairs Wines and ... # selfie !

I love the quotes and sayings, pearls of wisdom that often facilitate you with a few words what I want to express. For example, I remember now ... "talk good or evil talk, ma basta che ne parlate”. Ebbene, given the recent events today let's talk about wine fairs.

We assume that the Italian wines that you can not speak well (exceptions to the rule that are not part). Then, what we should speak ill? Of course you do to talk. Let's just say that in recent days that an invasion of photos of wines and winemakers, on social, there has been a veritable invasion of #selfie (photo made themselves). The sense, mah, personally I do not like, let's just say they are fads and as such should be considered. Anyway, if talking about it is reconnected wine events, well are also those! – Cynthia, but you say?! You must deny and contradict? – (Now talking to myself, I do ask her and I say well). Ma noo! I'll repeat it – I can not stand 'sti # selfie –  well aware, however,, that people love the show, and these events, spectacular are seriously!

The world of wine, the real one, is made up of farmers, sweat, sacrifices, of disappointments, of bureaucracy. But not only, is also made in satisfaction, Smiles, of friendship and solidarity. The success of today's wine industry at the moment is under the eyes of all. The Made in Italy is of great attraction for the foreign, a richness that sometimes we underestimate. When I see foreign productions on the board of the Italians say to myself (for the series talking to myself) – ma eats, the Italians eat foreign and foreign countries want to eat Italian?! –  It will be for lower costs, but not for the quality! Eat less, but you eat better!

Young people have understood. Many of them are turning to food and wine. A force that makes me believe that we are on the right direction. I am convinced that the new generations will be towed us out of this crisis. Minds are fast, Digital, clean that increasingly turning their interest to agriculture. The gran you, come Italiana, I ask that the government will facilitate this process!

Fermatemi!!! When you attack with this key I do not stop more! Cynthia Force, returns to talk about the exhibitions. Personally I do not go crazy, I much prefer to live the reality 'on the ground'. It’ well known by those who know me, and often is forced to recover me in some corner where I shelter to get away from the hustle (I find it always). I admit, however, in spite of myself, that these occasions are always favorable for greetings, meetings and new contacts.

It’ This is the reason why I was uncertain whether to participate in Vinitaly. I only have one day, and with a day at Vinitaly, not done nearly nothing. This annual citadel of wine requires the attention it deserves. Well, Despite this, feeling pull the ears of many, I decided at the last when making the request for accreditation, not subsequently validated (maybe it was really too late). Learned, Friends and producers not only, in private, however, they invited me to participate with their pass (among other things, the system adopted by most bloggers and journalists ).

While thanking I decided not to accept orienting towards a fair of wines and numbers closer to me: ViniVeri, Wines according to Nature. This eleventh edition has been dedicated to Emmanuel Giboulot, a producer of Burgundy present at the event, that he refused to use pesticides in the vineyard and that this is likely the prison. Starring 140 vintners wine artisans from Italy and not only, with a common belief: produce a clean wine stranger to chemical. Wine but not limited to, thanks to 14 artisans of agro-food products.

Here are some moments of the show that I have lived.

I will begin by 'coffee promised and delivered a' friend Daniel Martial (Our bet a). A food and wine of Romagna resistance with a man who has learned how to make bread from his father, and to love the earth by his grandfather. A true poet of simple things, who believes in the quality of products and relationships.

I finally met Michele Praise The slope of the Farm, I would have preferred some (and I will do it as soon as possible) know the field. He always has to do, at least so says. Do not tell you how I got around this phrase. 😉 A parte gli scherzi, sooner or later we will see to reconcile the common commitments to meet, just like me in the vineyard and in the cellar, Where did the grape and wine. During the tasting of his wines I enjoyed 'The Woodcock’ 2008, Cabernet Franc in purezza.

Always a pleasure to meet Walter and Paul Vodovipec of’Winery Paolo Vodopivec. Il loro wine the Vitovska, a wine typical Karst increasingly appreciated. Their, una terra friulana “stone and wind… nature strong and vigorous”.

The wine labels always intrigue me. This in particular, dell’The Almond Farm, I really liked. He knows of nature and the earth. A young company located in Belvedere Suvereto in Livorno, whose vineyards border only with the stain of oak, myrtle, cork and brooms. The wine produced a good Sangiovese.

The origins always call. Also drink Prosecco Valdobbiadene DOCG. A Viniveri I tasted one of the’Azienda Agricola Casa Coste Piane Follador of Loris. Prosecco is a wine of ancient origin which in recent years has particularly successful among consumers. But beware, there prosecco and… Prosecco DOCG!

Scents of extra virgin olive oil… just wonderful! Aromas of olives Leccino with traces of Coratina and Oliarola Garganica grown from’Farm family Pizzarelli Rocco. An agricultural reality in a territory that is now part of the Gargano National Park.

We could not miss the traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena. To produce the TRUE serve at least twelve years. The adjective 'TRADITIONAL' it apart by vinegar industry that we can buy a few Euros. This is the one produced by the Therapy Center La Lucciola, Association O.N.L.U.S. for the help of children in difficulty Stuffione Ravarino (MO).
