Resta's picture

Now, maybe too posts in one day are too much, but I couldn't resist to this: if you look carefully, the first picture from the right shows my courtyard. It was taken by John Cerritelli during his past year's stay at Resta.
The restaurant is: Leon's of New Haven, 501 Long Wharf Drive, New Haven, CT

Thank you Patricia and John,

This morning there is some work to do in the vineyard. Because of all the rain, the vines grew very much, and the leaves need to be cut.

Unfortunally the weather is terrible, I can't wait to see the sun. It is good for the soil, though, but not for the soul!
Lately I have been tasting many interesting wines, and I started a cooperation with Nicolò, who owns a wineshop in Montalcino.
In addition, I found a cheaper way to ship my or other wines to the US, with Global Wine Service. They charge 80 euros for 6 bottles instead of 90. Not much, but something...
I will come out soon with a selection of my favourites Brunellos.
In the meantime, I have a couple of wine tours coming, and am looking forward.
As well as for a better season...

A very interesting blog -- please go there!

Yesterday afternoon the Martino 2006 was bottled...now I will leave it resting in the bottle for few weeks, and then it will be ready. I know, the picture is not very romantic, but it shows the super brand new bottling machine at Altesino...only the best for my wine!

Tomorrow I am sending 2 samples to The Wine Enthusiast.

My daughter Clara did this for me. It shows where Martino is in the world.
USA: Illinois, Texas, Washington DC, New York, Ohio, Florida.

EUROPE: Belgium, England, Monte Carlo, Holland and Germany.
