The vine version of "Big Brother" at Rocca delle Macìe
This is an interesting new project conceived by the editorial team at Wine Surf, which will see the shooting of a series of short films charting the progress of a single vine through the seasons and the most important stages in the cultivation of that vine over the course of 9 months. Thanks to this simple idea, it will be possible to get a handle on what happens to a vine during the 9 months that it takes for the grape to ripen. The first episode of this sort of "Big Brother" focusing on a small Sangiovese vine located in one of Rocca delle Macìe's vineyards was shot a few days ago by journalist and Wine Surf editor Carlo Macchi, with on-site input from our agronomist Alfio Auzzi, and deals with the pruning of the vine. Given that this vine, which will be monitored throughout the year, did not have a name, Wine Surf organized a competition to baptize it. |
