Harvesting Grapes

The family here at La Bruciata invited us to help pick their grapes on Saturday morning. What fun we had!

Sangiovese grapes
Separator that removes the fruit from the stems.
The juice pumps into a steel tank to sit for one month. Then the skins are removed from the juice. I am not sure of the next step, but it ferments for two years before it is ready to drink.

The family uses this wine for their own consumption and to serve to their guests.
