I do not believe that the winemaker Giacomo Tachis forty years ago was a bad trader . He was already a talented and still is, although he says he stopped with his work. It would be right, though. The nonsense is that you should reward the dawn of the eighties. Recalling that is the creator of Sassicaia. Exactly a lot of years ago. Add many other fine wines, followed by the last period of his employment, after thirty years from Antinori. I can think of Pelago, Triskel, Rocca Rubia, Terre Brune, Argiolas. A trip to Sicily do not forget his concern for what has been called the Renaissance of Italian wine to start from the island and the Nero d'Avola. It was the end of the Nineties. With us there were Patrick Leon, the director of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the former technical director of Chateau Ausone, and other famous travelers. We went from Donnafugata Rallo, by Count Lucio Tasca d'Almerita, Duke of Salaparuta, Pellegrino Marsala, by Melia CEUS. Got the craving to greet him, today, I called James on the phone. We giggled a bit, 'I reminded him every time in the Corriere della Evening, I called the "Prince of the winemakers." Blend of the great composer did not hesitate to express his concerns about what is happening in Montalcino Brunello. Difficult to govern the Sangiovese. Simpatico on the future of Italian wine: "Many producers have to fall in the vineyard instead of spending time in a Mercedes." Some lucky label: "Help from the media insane battles that have helped to raise prices so inconvenient. Will necessarily have to be lowered when it is believed to still wine." Tachis a shiny, short, master of his own hour, breakfast close to home, the inn Five of wine, and many devoted to reading. The classics, another passion, to Lucretius, Pliny. For him who has collaborated with Emile Peynaud, a great French winemaker, the vineyard culture is taught as Phoenicians, Greeks, Etruscans, "argued that the wine he loves the breath of the sea, it is still true today." Like Galileo he argued that "there can be no wine and spirits light." Philosophy and studio, skill and excitement of the thought-Tachis are condensed in his book, released year-end, "Knowledge of wine," journey of taste on the ancient culture of the civilization of wine making. Also where James gives us his simple maxims of life: "Better to live not far from a tree near a building."
