This and next week: Shoplifter (Cannes 2018!) A Land imagined, The River-Ozen, The man who surprised everyone (that I'm probably the only one curious to watch but I like the plot), The Nightingale and At the Eternity’s gate.

I gave up on Sunset because I wasn’t convinced by the reviews. And Non-fiction, unfortunately, because going to watch it meant probably to be killed on the tram at night returning home alone(But I think it will be released at the cinema in November). And Gipi because I want to watch Il ragazzo più felice del mondo but it already has a release with fandango.

TESSİN- Brezilyalı yönetmen Júlia Murat'ın Regra 34(Kural 34) filmi 75. Locarno Film Festivali'nde Pardo d'oro (Altın Leopar) ödülünü kazandı.

Wine producers in Ticino by Pamela Pintus

The Ticino region offers best climatic conditions for producing Merlot grape, which was brought from France trying to renew the crops destroyed by the phylloxera infection, that affected Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century. One variety was found after a crossing and selection series, which developed over the years and is now occupying 80% (about 878 hectares) of the Ticino wine area. The Monte Ceneri divides the two largest Ticino wine zones: Sottoceneri and Sopraceneri, each of which has particular climatic and terroir characteristics. Cultivations are taking place mainly on steep terrain called “Ronchi”, which can have a 30% slope; here the processing is somewhat complicated and expensive, as you can easily guess.

Nonetheless, the viticulture on these terraces has helped to preserve and protect the soil from erosion and has carried out essential prevention and protection. Although Merlot represents the highest percentage of grape in Ticino, other species are cultivated with great success in some other areas, such as Pinot Noir, which ripens earlier, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bondola and Gamaret which combine to create excellent Red wines. The most common white grapes are instead Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Riesling and Pinot Bianco. There are 3’000 Ticino grape producers,15 wineries and 61 small independent winemakers who are producing only up to 5’000 bottles a year, but who, nevertheless, have made this region a reference point for Swiss wine production, which is conquering the market also worldwide.

TicinoWine www.ticinowine.ch is the association that is involved in promoting and protecting the image of Ticino wine since 1984. 250 producers are part of it that can count on the 3’000 winegrowers scattered throughout the territory. Thanks to this association, the Ticino labels have gone beyond their borders and joint the international market. There are events and exhibitions of the sector as well as the “Ticinowine Festival” and “Cantine Aperte” to make it known to the public. For anyone interested in the subject, there is a description of the leading & lesser-known Ticino producers who offer excellent wine.

Main wine producers in Ticino

Tamborini Vine, Lamone

They have been producing wines for over 75 years, involving three generations who have dedicated their lives to this sector, to increasingly seek quality and uniqueness of the wines of the area. There are 27 hectares of vines and 750 products, including wines, beers and spirits. The company is located in Lamone, north of Lugano. The territory is in a natural amphitheater created by the San Zeno hill, that also offers a particular microclimate. Among the top wines, we cannot fail to mention the latest arrival, Osè d’Hiver, a rosé wine reserve 2018, created from Merlot and aged in “Barriques” for 15 months. For whites’ lovers, there is the award-winning SanZeno Mosaico born from the skilful fusion of Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon and the Vivi from the Valentina Tamborini collection. Amid the most representative reds, however, there is Sasso Chierico Rosso, Sasso Chierico Riserva and Terre Nobili, a Merlot born from the Ticino wine tradition.

Vine Delea, Losone

The company was founded in 1983 to enhance the Ticino grapes and creating wines of superior quality.

Among the leading labels are Merlot Carato, Chiar di Luna, Carato Bianco and Spumanti, most of them have received prestigious awards and recognitions such as Carato Riserva Merlot Ticino Doc awarded with Tre Bicchieri dal Gambero Rosso. Amidst the whites are Sauvignon Ticino, Apocalypse, Marengo or Prima Goccia, to name a few. A tour of the Delea winery is a beautiful experience. Everything has been designed to involve guests and guide them through the oldest Ticino wine traditions. The guided tour lasts 2 hours and includes a tasting.

Also, over the years, the owners have created a real peace oasis in nature dedicated to hospitality thanks to the best hotels and restaurants where you can taste the specialties of this land. Among the Elegant range wines, there are Barbarossa, Melodia and Giubileo born to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the winery and, subsequently, the 90th anniversary.

Patricia Highsmith died here - a blood elastic mock neck and tennis shoes; in a square on a wardrobe door, and before a tree pressed against the fieldstone wall to resemble a crawling plant. I have eaten nothing but bark in almond shapes - when since is not important - and I have never felt able to dress comfortably in this climate. The heat, the air frightens me, and that this could be it. In four days, the ripples will come down so to let the Alpine shadow fall on starved earth. This place exists in record.           Now?            Materials - beige; white, synthetic cotton - in immediate contact can rise up out of the rolling oil under this tent and form upon Monoblocs. I’m here for. I’m here to be. I lurch. Everything is facing the same way, queued against wallpaper cels. The speed at which light passes through membrane is inconsistent; paper is heavy in the rising red damp of Locarno. I’m press-ganged into a Q&A between half a dozen interpreters. Michael Cimino stepped out in a tight starched black dress shirt and tight jeans. Lampshades latched to strong ears, sunken too close to his collar. No chin. Nothing remote of real lips. This was a relic of immanent lust. Critical over-evaluation of caricature is one thing - necessarily, an object of derision. Fodder for the Observer. “Look at the tea bag stretched over clubbed horses’ shins, shuffling and mouthing for the new frontier!” Cimino is 75, and won’t live another twelve months. There are fingerprints in his face. You can notice the joints and their limited articulation (wrists and elbows, but no knuckles). Held and bent. Everything except the ground has been painted on, including the flat violent sky. Cimino doesn’t sit on a chair. Rather, he perches on the edge of a table, and goes for two hours with that utterly inhuman haircut. I don’t believe his mouth can close. Neither can mine as he projects a polemic against war to a doctoral candidate (nobody asked) two rows behind. A few degrees left of my direct eyeline. White haired men with stupid ideas. What’s coming is terrible. We Will No Longer Die For You. None of this is incentivising.            Dead flies are pinned to the field, thrumming. Sweat. A windmill is smashed. The sky is white, black, overcast, and the pressure reaches a limit. There is a stone. There is one source of light. Only after the discussion is he frail, crowded by journalists and inching from pen to pen and brochure to brochure. I leave because my shoulders hurt. The only line I remember directly is: “Do you think Pavarotti read his reviews? How do you tell Pavarotti to improve?” None of this is true.
