These last few days at the Basia have been intense. A horse riding centre (our riding school)the strings were pulled on the day of the holiday of which last sunday we said goodbye to spring, The jumping contest which had a large number of participants and enthusiastic supporters (photos will be on our website soon), The day ended with victors and winners unfailingly celebrating together.

 In the vineyard our Arturo who we will soon find the occasion to present to you finished the work of binding the grapevines under the hot sun the last few weeks. It was risky work but he managed to get himself a nice tan.

 My mother Elena and I are writing to you to tell you that we returned from Germany a few days ago where for the first time we went to present our wines to the large exhibition at ProWein in Dusseldorf, proud ambassadors of our wine in a foreign land!

 In short: a lot is happening! Try and get us!

See you soon on agrycult.com

After a few days here at the Basia we have bottled the product the Chiaretto The drunken wife 2009.  The bottleing which took place in an associated business is a special occasion: In fact in one day all the work spent in the vineyard and dedicated care in the wine cellar came to an end.

We would like to tell you about a special day. We have turned ourselves into reporters for Agrycult and we have tried to describe what happened in a video that is to say the air that is breathed from the big plant that carrys out all the operations of packing the bottles. It is in the square in front of the cellar where at the end of the day the doors are closed ( infact at the Basia like in many other small businesses this work is carried out by a specialised company but we are kitted out with all the right industrialised machinery used to package the goods.

The result is under your watchful eyes! we hope you will appreciate this small part of a story of a wine that we like to remember, a wine born from a combination of many factors: from the passion of real people, from the right care of the earth, from the tastes of a tradition which have transmitted us from quality to a fruit but also from the technology that today helps us value and conserve these prescious resourses up until the moment of uncorking a bottle on our table.

At this point even we 2.0 have to return to old habits: if you would like to get to know this wine, this chiaretto there isn’t anything else to do but try it! and it’s for this reason the net is still not set up ….. Come and see us!

See you soon!
