Hey Gerrit, remember when we talked about poison in wine?
Today swedish media report that only one wine company wanted to supply all the information of what is in their wines. The list of what was actually in that particular wine confirmed what I said about poison.
They even add a substance that makes the wine taste as if it has been stored in barrels. Rest of it are substances that will cause skin reactions and all kinds of things.
I'm not sure organic wine are all that free from these things either.
Thanks for this.
It won't be any different here in Holland.
Last time I was in Firenze I noticed there were a lot more different type of wine shops where many of the inhabitants went for organic wine, kept in barrels at the shops, coming straight from the vineyards in the nearby local area in Toscane. They don't have a great variety to choose from but the wine is bottled right in front of you.
It is produced by a number of cooperating vineyards and shops, all relatively small.
They surpass the big companies and apparently there is a market for those type of produced wines.
They don't have a lot of the other costs the big companies have, the wine is cheap compared to the wine in the traditional wineshops and has a great quality in taste.
They guarantee no additional chemicals have been used, no pesticides, all organic growing grapes.
Mostly the Sangiovese variety, so Chianti, Chianti Classico, but also the Brunello di Montelcino, the Rossi di Montelcino which of course are also 100% San Giovese wines.
But there were some Primitivo wines too and Valpolicello.
The Primitivo, possibly the oldest wine variety and supposedly the last wine Jesus Christ drank before he returned to from where ever he came from.
Painted by Leonardo da Vinci as can be seen at his painting called the Last Supper.
God, they are delicious!
All tasting great!
