Italian tradition

In Italy, the vendemmia, the grape harvest, is a sacred ritual of the early autumn, a Italian tradition. In years past, a good harvest was a symbol of well-being, prosperity and good luck as the winter approached. That symbolism is strong, even today, as Italians remain rooted to the land and the sight of grapes maturing, being harvested by hand and then transformed into fine wines continues to be life-affirming.

Vineyard & winery
