Nelle campagne della Pianura Padana il lavoro si ferma per poco tempo durante la stagione invernale: a gennaio infatti e’ gia’ ora di potare le viti; a marzo bisogna potare gli alberi da frutto, ad esempio i peschi, mentre la primavera si fa’ avanti a grandi passi.
Nelle mie foto: le colline di Custoza con il profilo delle cime del Monte Baldo alle spalle. Nel territorio di Custoza si produce un vino bianco leggero e mediamente secco, chiamato appunto: Bianco di Custoza. Si tratta di una DOC costituita da tre vitigni di base: Trebbiano Toscano, Garganega e Trebbianello. Il valore alcolico raggiunto e’ di 10-11 gradi.
Il titolo del post e’ preso da una raccolta di novelle di Giovanni Verga pubblicata nel 1880.
Life in the Country.
In the Po Valley countryside the resting season is quite short, even if it is still winter: January is the due time for pruning vines; March is already the time for pruning peach trees, much cultivated in this area. In my shots today: the hills where the town of Custoza is located, with the crest of Mount Baldo in the background.
Custoza and its surrounding area are famous for the production of a light and medium-dry white wine named: Bianco di Custoza. It is a local DOC wine which is actually a blend of three vine varieties: Trebbiano Toscano, Garganega and Trebbianello. Its alcohol level is 10-11 % by volume.
The title of this post is taken from a selection of short stories by Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga, published in 1880.
