All slides between the musical notes coming out of the piano where the hands of Catherine de 'chase from right to left and vice versa. The silence of the hills of Montepulciano is fortunate for this meeting. Music and vineyard located harmony. On the walls of the villa Martiena bounces sound like the smell in the basement of the must. "Wine and music do not need great communication, speaking through the senses as you know ...", says Catherine first to lead me in the cellar. Today, along with the music is the wine. Montepulciano is unjustly relegated to a kind of psychological subjection against which produces Brunello di Montalcino. But it is a mistake. The wine is made here is right. Sangiovese, the variety Blackthorn Gentile, is a beautiful expression. As the Reserve 2004 Vineyard Bossona we taste together. A cru Alibrando wanted by his grandfather in the '60s, attended by his son Glaucus, a building contractor and pampered by his granddaughter, Catherine makes a boast of today. Follows the subtlety elegance, soft tannins, notes ferrous, pepper, liquorice, aromatic taste. I venture to 2006, I still find subtlety, harmony and fragrance of rose petals, wild strawberries in Tortona, souplesse in the mouth of the great French crus of Burgundy. "In my wine and I wanted to clean sweetness of the tannins," says producer. Satisfied by the consultant at home, Niccolò d'Afflitto that was imposed on a vineyard care exaggerated. "One day my father was stunned to see 50 percent of the grapes in the vineyard to the ground during the thinning of July, "says Catherine. But who plays and loves music knows what is the accounts to do: never give up. As for the base year 2008 Noble taste : great complexity, hints of cherry, rose petal scent. It is not the child arrived for the event. And 'a wine that pays homage to those who do and those who drink it. Like when Catherine plays and sings: you will not remain insensitive. Even before the new store which will be ready in a few months. It 's all in travertine stone that has followed the occupation of Glaucus, his father. The show prides itself after paying homage to the history of the company. The view in the garden ran to the hills of Pienza. On a wall Catherine did affect a sentence from the book of Sirach (32, 5, 6): "Seal of emerald in a gold seal is the melody of the song combined with the sweetness of the wine."
