I was very lucky today, journalistically speaking, when I did the number of Micca Carlo Bocchino. It was in the car with Giorgio Rivetti, winemaker and producer of excellent Barbera and Barbaresco, Gallina in particular, my favorite. I wanted information on the sale of the Contract, the historical cellar of Canelli, producing bubbles of copyright, the first of many. They were together and had probably just signed the sale. I did not ask whether the millions of euro were 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11, because the core of this sale is in a different relationship. Charles has the substance past the hand of a friend, George, after handing over the keys of the cellar, but above all a witness to leave the territory, history and quality that does justice to both. Like knights of old did not need to draw his swords was enough to shake hands. Were chosen. I do not happen every day sales in the world, whether condos or basements. The joy of both of them I picked the phone, the more disenchanted Carlo, Giorgio more discreet, as in the picture below which almost hides the bottle impertinent. "I will continue with my daughters, Martha and Miranda, the path of Grappa family," he said before passing Charles George, recalling its magnificent red, has been pointed out: "At our company lacked copyright bubbles, while producing Moscato. Disarming simplicity, honesty Asti. Contract is a turning point for Italian wines. Charles started running a branded store, just before everyone else. Remember, in addition to bubbles, For its Solus Barbera and Barolo Cerequio, but in my heart made the dinners in the basement in the name of the great tables of the world. A parade of influential chefs who have humbly accepted the invitation of Charles and cooked in the vaults of history. For each story, a journey. The flips of the landlord to ensure that, in addition to cooks, from Paris or Spain, their products also arrived in time to be served at the table. Small faults and great virtues that have helped to grow even more history of this wonderful wine Asti.

E 'an adventure that continues. Not a sale. That Charles was born in Micca Mouthpiece 1993 with the purchase of this historic winery, charming, unique: Contract Canelli. I am a friend of walks, endless chatter with his friend Charles born heir, with her sister Antonella, the distillery family, Bocchino. So close to the Agreement to be separated by a gate and a few steps, Canelli in Piedmont, with the balance of the heart, looking a little 'French, its bridge, the stories of country and pride of its people. The pride of Charles, the pride of belonging to the territory, so strong that in 1993 acquired the contract, copyright bubbles always smell in the air and somehow at home, because among the members of the cellar until after his birth in 1867, there was a mouthpiece. I dwell on why Charles has brought himself, taste, style, size and sensitivity, and this needs to be given on set, and with great wines made by Giancarlo Scaglione. And Marta Miranda, daughter of Charles, Maddalena, the daughter of Antonio contributed their youth, in these years and my thinking is for them. De Miranda, who is also the name of the mother of Charles, signed the prestigious house of bubbles, those who lacked the rivets, the family is going on in the life of this glorious home. There comes a great entrepreneur with holdings of wine in Tuscany, Sardinia, but was born in Piedmont in Castagnole Lanze, always land Asti: three males and one female, left thirty years ago in a similar adventure happened. I am sure they will do well, the spokesman George frank face of someone who knows what she wants from life and I think that will continue the journey. In this winery at the dawn of the twenty-first century there were the tables of the world. A parade of chefs unique. I remember Nobu, Senderens, the late Santamaria, Ducasse and their unforgettable dishes. On the table were the wines Agreement, but Charles had arrived with his eagerness to serve in the beard, Barolo and the bubbles of the nearby vineyard. A move of class. I am convinced that the rivets will give continuity. My dream is that they take the plates of the world, so with a bit of nostalgia and grinning, I can still sit in the cellar.
