Fall
of september - and first days of October begins
the collection of the grape and its transformation.
The working techniques are ancient: The grape
comes pounded with an appropriate stick and
leaved in wood vats and when the chestnuts
are mature, also the new wine is ready to
be drunk.
Numerous are the festivities in autumn dedicated
to the chestnuts and the new wine that are
carried out in several countries. We remember
Soriano nel Cimino, Latera, Monterubiaglio
and Castiglione in Teverina.
