Welcome, Friends and family our goal with this blog is to help you keep tabs on what we've been up to after moving to Italy in 2007, by sharing some of our experiences with you. We have many of our old favorite places yet we always seem to stumble into something really cool just when we think we've seen everything. Our goal is to share these new experiences, along with an occasional wine or travel tip.
Sincerely,
Robert and Leslie Alexander

Crush at cantina Nada





Not every grape makes the cut as vicki from cantina NADA trims a few
grapes that will be left for the birds. Here in Barbaresco and Barolo
producers do most of there sorting table work in the vineyard

Family time at cantina Nada. From vine to plastic "mini" hoppers.

From the mini hoppers to a tractor mounted hopper.

From the hopper to a tractor pulled trailer.

From the trailer into the destemmer / crusher.

Enrico over seeing the crush. stems out the back. Skins,seeds,pulp
and juice into the hose to the fermentation tank then in no time at all
( almost 3 years ) Barbaresco at a wine shop near you.
