Italy - Musical Wines

We are off to Italy again in a few weeks and I am going to be

in the Arezzo area for a few days at end of trip. I will be on a

mission while in Tuscany.... I am to find a town called

Montalcino where there is a vineyard owned by a man who has made

a startling discovery and now being studied scientifically. His

grapes were not growing as robustly as they should have been for

years so he tried an experiment. He decided to pipe classical

music to half of his vineyard and the grapes responded by

growing large r, juicier and redder than those not listening to

music... It deserved a closer look Montalcino is also home to

the famous Banfi wines .Banfi wines are considered by the

Italian to be the best in Italy with only a small production of

certain kinds distributed to America. So Montalcino is about 1

1/2 hours from Arezzo but a lovely trip especially at harvest

time .Be sure to go to the musical vineyard called Paradiso di

Frassini on the way to Montalcino from Buonconvento. According

to an acquaintance who lives there the grapes prefer violins.

The owner is Giancarlo Cignozzi and he makes very interesting

wines, including one called " DO" ( musical--do, a doe ,a female

deer...) containing 12 varietals. An interesting note is that

this acquaintance ,Laura, states that when the boss is not

there, the workers replace Vivaldi with Vasco Rossi and it does

not seem to do the wines any harm It has become a very notable

place so it is now necessary to request and appointment to

visit. I will gladly give anyone the necessary phone and fax

numbers upon request.

When at the wine tasting everyone should only get a little bit of each kind of wine. Remember this is a wine tasting party not necessarily a wine drinking party. SO no one should be chugging down one wine they should just be tasting it.
