After the publication of my recent article the Apulian wine production, I received many messages of appreciation and sharing from producers, sector operators and simple fans. A strong sign that demonstrates how much the theme is and how much there is a need for authentic reflection and without filters. Among the most significant answers, I chose to publish with great pleasure that of Pino De Luca, authoritative voice, wineway veteran, a profound connoisseur of the Apulian food and wine and intellectual of high lineage. His acute and cultured analysis not only further deepens the themes raised by me, but shares and fully approves my examination. It is a contribution that enriches the debate and confirms that a change of silenzio is necessary and possible, as long as you have the courage to say the truth. Because it is precisely from the comparison between skills, experiences and visions that a new awareness can arise for the future of Apulian wine. [Davide Gangi]
An old con flemma sentences “Who is silent, agrees!”, Half of simple societies and, sometimes, sleeves. The old dear bipolar world, made of Cain and Abel, Romolo and Pala, Rome and Carthage, Christians and infidels, Guelphs and Ghibellines, Montecchi and Capuleti up to Bartali and Coppi, Rivera and and I do not go mongoloide.
Those who do not want to tighten between the factions that now separate the two “prevailing”, both of the square having a “i” multiplier con common, simply is silent.
He takes refuge con the small places where those who speak know what he is talking about and talks about it con order to express themselves clearly and without fear, with respect for everyone but without the need for those who speak to please instead of expressing ideas.
The premise (which I do not like) is necessary to make sense of my intervention after a long period of silence.
Here, Vinoway, I often find stresses and the last of Davide Gangi is too vigorous because you can exempt yourself from a shy.
End of the Renaissance new rebirth? Headlines the piece. Which already imposes a choice of field, but then we talk about Salento that hosts me from birth. So let’s put our feet the plate.
Wine con crisis? But when ever? Fly to pieces (and can only please me) a representation of the wine world that lasted too much.
The wine has had an evolution marked by many “crisis” and never as con these cases κρίσις returns to its primary meaning: from κρίνω “distinguishing, judging”.
Then, of course, every crisis carries behind and wounded, but every crisis is also a seed that rotates to give a sprout that is born.
The “parastatism” of many wine companies often corroborated by substantial moments of public funding con various masked forms reaches the final finale.
A great remediation therefore populates the world of wine. Obvious relatives are:
Heroic producers who have tried to decline territories and vines with an “absolute loyalty” to an archaic (often unjustified and unjustifiable) that more than historical has become religious. Various companies that deal with making the word wine from the ancient term Merum more and more distant. And therefore also inventing adjective as an asylum: what else can be the “dealculated wine” if not the desire to instill the audience of the I1 and I2 with another “i” to multiply to that of ignorance.
Among other things, grape juice has existed for a long time and if alcohol is so deleterious for health, someone should explain why that of wine hurts and that of Bach flowers is a cure -all to lengthen life.
The fact is that con the world con which we emphasize what is paid for, instead of pretending to be paid for what is exposed, the “narration” has become dominant compared to the story, the sliding suggestion more of reality. Like the character Armando Feroci who tells his descendants of Elvis.
How do you modo out? As always: someone with broken bones (deservedly), many innocent victims, and, for a little time, treasured the errors of the past and, con 2027, the number of people who will treat wine as what it is: a concentrate of nature, human wisdom and history of people and places, certainly will grow.
Then there will be the producers to whom it is not necessary to ask for acts of heroism but only of great intellectual honesty, winemakers will take care of the authenticity and the Gustalfactive value, and the narrators will be forced, sometimes, to study! That making a wine con Chatgpt taste is not yet possible.
And even if it will be, at least three things must be mentioned:
1 – The late Prof. Boncinelli explained to us that the number of brain neurons is comparable to the number of stars of a galaxy;
2 – If there is a complex of algorithms that can simulate the brain and work much better than the many brains from i21 i22, worse I feel if i3x, there is mai brain that can simulate the mind
3 – I don’t know if there is a soul, I can’t afford to believe it, but I know that the amygdala exists, and it contains our specific ability to enjoy.
And the wines I have always liked, I like them and will like, are capable of giving me moments of great pleasure.
And the wine for young people?
Until young people are taught that their life is made only of “forma” and that pleasure is only sin, then they will projection con the abyss of the “i” and con the arms of beverages chemically composed to make them fly, swell, and self.
If they educate themselves to reward themselves as a consequence of their being personally and socially pleasant, you will see that they will finally begin to bevanda rosé as they eat a good barba. That drinking beer with barba is to eat a tartina with a slice of bread inside. It touches the difficult task of education that also passes through the mai more uncomfortable of the yes but, con my opinion, often much more useful.
The bipartition of the I? Acceso the one hand the idiots and the other the inept.
Tertium Datur: close yourself con your hermitage far from the agone and hope that wineway will continue to (r) exist! Of places where ideas with factual roots are freely expressing instead of sweetened opinions we have a great need.
