"The timing in football is like wine. The deadlines is essential. "Alberto Malesani
I'm not a passionate football, or better, I do not like today's football. Too many interests lead me to not follow a sport that many years ago I felt more sincere. You may wonder then how I came to a man who for many years has been a coach. In fact it is still, although at the moment he took some time off. Do you think they are so careless that do not even remember that it was he who led the team of Chievo to their first successes. Good times ...
Well, I met Albert through a 'chimney', one of the many coincidences that drive for years now my life. A football coach portrayed in the media as a person of character that I appreciated the kindness and sensitivity. As I often say, the reality is often very different from what apparently tries to send the information. It's up to us to go further if we want to live in the truth.
The next morning when I went to him the hills were shrouded in mist. My eyes shine in front of autumn leaves to the atmosphere that only nature, with its colors, sa creare. Being able to enjoy the simple beauty of all this is already a great success.
Upon my arrival, After welcoming me with a smile, left me free to take a short trip around the vineyards. I need to acclimate in every place I go. I always start so my visits.
Once satisfied, alone, I reached into the cellar. It was taken from an exchange of words with two people. I do not put much to introduce and blend in conversations when I am comfortable. Since then he has started the tour company. As I listened to Albert that I illustrated his plans, I inserivo from time to time with advice and suggestions, After many visits to production facilities, arise spontaneously. For example, I would pay more attention to the production of good wine vinegar. I know there are some quibbles, but why not climb over? Then, I would like to see more aggregated holdings of the same territory with events promoted by those involved in digital communications Wine. How many things I want… especially more synergies.
As I described the 'his wine', told me the embarrassment felt the first time he attended his taste. The emotions I felt at that moment was much more intense than any sporting achievement. I was impressed by his first experience of working with Japan and the story of the teachings. The more I know the way of life in this country and most attracts me. A man who, after working in a multinational logistics for many years, has achieved important goals thanks to the determination and passion.
“Cynthia, the passion, personal initiative, sharing, involvement and measurable objectives, need to live each moment of life fully and without regret. This is the diet of my life. He accompanied me in the past, in this, and accompany me in the future. Everything I do or dream first of all I must wonder, then, Once you understand the source of this wonder, I know what it can become. Applies to all ... both for a human relationship, or to coach a team or to produce a wine. I am and always will be the same in front of their successes and failures, because some are indispensable to the other.”
For some years he devoted himself entirely to the farm that runs together with his daughters Julia and Valentina, The Giuva, an acronym of their names. A reality with organic certification located in Trezzolano, in the province of Verona, in the Val Squaranto. A hilly area characterized by a calcareous soil prominently in excavations leading to the basement.
With esperta di guida Lorenzo Caramazza, winemaker dell'azienda, produce so UVE autoctone Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella e Oseleta, wine as an expression of the territory, the Valpolicella DOC. I appreciated it for the pleasure and body. Outspoken accrued only when steel, more intense in the past when wood.
During the tasting was debated some issues that recur every time I visit a company, in particular on smoothly created by bureaucracy. It seems almost monotonous touch this key continuously, sore painful economic development of our Italian. Despite this, our country is a committed supporter who still feel belonging and fights for his recovery.
I think you know by now how I feel exposed as a representative symbol on the flag of Italy that works. Precisely for this, seeing him painted on the ceilings of La Giuva, I pleased to express my sincere Alberto approval.
I studied with Lorenzo Caramazza an issue recently addressed by writing an article about some agricultural situations in Valcalepio visit. I am referring to the damage and the possible solutions to combat a nasty mosquito killer: the Drosophila suzukii. Well, Lorenzo explained to me that it is trying to solve the problem using a natural solution by the excellent results. I let him continue.
Cynthia, the Drosophila suzukii should be clear that the natural trap, composed of wine with a greater presence of acetic acid and sugar, is used in the cultivation of strawberry in lessinia. You are using this technique in the vineyards trying to comply with organic farming. In Trentino someone is using a similar mix to sell it in containers ready for use. This remedy helps to 60/70 % catch. Someone on the fruit used for networks and / or treatment. In the case of screw the biggest problem we have in the fruit for drying the grapes where ventilation and cold are the only real defense.
My visit did not end in the company but in a nice restaurant in the area, between talk and smiles. These are the moments that give meaning to what I do. A chapter of the most intense of my life the last few years. In the words of Albert: “The wine is a beautiful story.“
