Forio from 04/11 to 30/11
We wanted to party. And feast was, a rustic one, true, with the new wine was flowing, the hot coals to roast chestnuts and toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil, the tarantella - and beyond - and danced to the rhythm guitar player piano. And then beans and pizza for everyone: everyone, climbing the short steep climb to get to the cave-cellar, carrying something, like the Magi, because the party was not just the wine.
The Pietratorcia company, which stretches its vineyards between Forio and Panza, in a sunny location close to Epomeo Mount overlooking the lighthouse of Punta Imperatore, has called all over the country, and friends need the new wine this year promises to be excellent.
It is an event that now takes place every year in the summer of S. Martin, when ‘all the must becomes wine’ and an increasing number of producers, growers, but especially those who love the new - that perhaps is not yet defined wine, but that brings joy and happiness - that do not want to lose this opportunity offered by the generosity of Pietratorcia Cellars.
This is the first glass, which is greeted with applause: ruby red with violet hues, fruity with hints of raspberry and blueberry, transparent, fresh, new wine Pietratorcia is ideal for white meats and soft cheeses.
"It is very good, this year and the harvest was plentiful", they say in unison Vito Verde, president, of the farm and Bartolo Iacono Regine who, together with their families work to ensure a quality product, which has crossed national borders.
But before giving way to the banquet, a time of thanksgiving and meditation with the blessing of Father Agostino, who invites all to pray, and friends continue in waves fill the space set up buffet: beams arranged on the tablecloth covered with stacks of boxes accommodate the many delicacies that some peasant women in costume carry on their heads in baskets, in the manner of once between large steel tanks and equipment of ensembles, quickly moved from classical Neapolitan songs to disco music. Then the joy given by wine and products from the campaign is unleashing all, young and old, grandparents and grandchildren, the dances, late night ...
Finally, old and new, tradition and innovation, in name of friendship and wine.
