I was touring a winery in Marche (Le Terraze). And the dude giving us the tasting paused to fill up a large 5L flask for a local. And you could buy the wine (out of the steel vats, typically not the barrel aged stuff) by the litre. And I said to myself, yes! That’s it. That’s what I food and wine should be about. It’s local. It’s contextual. There is no fuss. But damn it’s good.

A similar story when I visited a friend in Ferrara. Not a well known wine district, but he gets his wine by driving up into the hills to his favorite winery. They fill up his bottles and he then corks them at home.

I’m thinking of going to Italy for the wine crushing, which in central Italy I think happens a bit later than Sardinia.

Cheers,
