Grapes Procured
tony and rick have procured the grapes and are on the way back.
they got 3 old favorites: sangiovese, zinfandel (primitivo), cabernet sauvignon and a new one for 2011-barbera. all 4 meet michael’s brix requirements. Barbera is the 3rd most commonly planted grape in Italy after Sangiovese and Montepulciano.
Barolos are some of Italy’s best red wines that are made of Nebbiolo (which we’ve also used in the past, but not this time).
we start at 9:30 tomorrow morning. the autens will get in a little late but they’re bringing 2 more workers. (they probably think they are “guests” ha ha ha ha) winfreys, next time it’s your turn to invite “guests.”
if all 4 barrels get ready for the press at the same time we will have another excuse for a feast. if it’s just one or two at a time michael and tony canprobably take care of it.
we have to remember to get a photo of ben stomping grapes.
tony put up a picture of girolamo on the winery door. very appropriate as he was so instrumental in this whole venture.
