At the winegrowers' market, one has the opportunity to get to know even the smallest and almost unknown wine producer...

posted on 2 December 2013
On Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, the third edition of the Independent Winegrowers' Market (FIVI). The impression is that the number of producers present has increased, as has the number of visitors. For us, it is not so much important to participate in order to make a sale for its own sake, but to strengthen the spirit of belonging to the association. The spirit that animates us is mutual solidarity and unity of purpose in order to protect our rights as winegrowers with the “higher” institutions, without intermediaries or “puppets” who often have no knowledge of our problems in the sector! The Wine Market is a common moment for us producers to meet and compare notes, and for visitors it can be a great and valid alternative for getting to know and experience this world, thanks to direct contact with the producer, without intermediaries and in a much more informal way than other events in the sector. And why not? It can also be a valid alternative to the now prohibitively busy and chaotic Vinitaly!!!  

Occupational hazards...

After not having hit us for years, or had only just touched us, the “lady” paid us a visit on the night of 24 June, abruptly interrupting a season that had so far been more than excellent. It took a few days to recover our energies and the desire to calmly analyse the extent of the damage, which for now seems limited to a loss of quantity, “only” a 30/40% of production.

Spring is in its prime and I like to give you a little glimpse of the vineyard at this season. As you can see from the photographs, the vines are already in full bloom and, something that we in the industry take somewhat for granted, I wonder how many people have ever noticed the rare beauty of the flowering vines and thus paused to admire them.

After Vinitaly

posted on 14 April 2014
After a break of a few years, I returned to Vinitaly, at the Consorzio Valtènesi stand. I must say that I did this without a commercial approach, I made an investment in terms of public relations and networking. Practically my entire network of relations in the sector is there, so it was a good opportunity to catch up and strengthen the relationship.
