Here in the province of Vicenza, it is vendemmia, or grape harvest in Italy as a whole. It depends on the regions and. the grape variety to be harvested but we can say that September and October really mark the months of vendemmia.

There are areas where the harvest begins in mid-August and will end in mid-October or even beyond. But what I want to talk to you about today is not the “technical” part of this moment, but the atmosphere in the cellars.
