Buderus Logomatic 2107

From Chronicles of Taste
It's just a matter of days, a few more weeks. And there who is already ready. In various regions of Italy hand harvesting, 2010 edition. In Sicily and then, with the earliest varieties, like Chardonnay, it's really a matter of hours. And like every year has already started the avalanche of news and announcements made on the crop forecast, the trend in climate for disquisitions on various areas of the peninsula. But the best is yet to come.
Why producers in a few weeks, consortia, professional bodies, in short, much of the institutional world of wine and begin to give votes to the harvests of 2010 and to flood the emails of journalists and oenophiles various press releases as numerous as unnecessary. It is to swear the harvest this year will fluctuate between very good and excellent in spite of all the problems to which the vines are exposed, especially those weather phenomena that are also the basis of the appeal of wine. Try to notice. In a few weeks you will hear or read of "vintage four-star" super grape "," less quantity but more quality "," a memorable year ',' grape in good health despite the heat. " If not, the case was exaggerated, the more redundant use of terms where the excellent and the good are always the main theme. Never someone publicly admit that the harvest has been so-so, that it rained too much, that moisture played a bad joke. In short, a bit 'of truth.
Without thinking that some reviews do not take into account the vastness of the territories. For example, in past years we have seen valuations like, "In Sicily, an excellent vintage." But how can you give an opinion like that? Sicily is so great that from one area to another, there are differences in terms of climate, such as those that pass between day and night. How can you judge such a vast territory ranging from the sunny hills of Trapani to Etna from continental climate? Indeed one might think that a review is enough so hasty and superficial? This, we believe, do not do good to the world of wine. And what of his followers. That would rather few and sincere news. All this as we prepare to face a flood of news where the 2010 harvest will be "the best of recent years." Like every year.


we would like to subscribe. in Irpinia, the situation is clear and very patchy, there are fantastic vineyards for grape maturity and perspective, and less positive situations, only grapes into wine you can give a more accurate assessment.
