All over the world begins the wine harvest. I wish all winemakers and harvest helpers a successful time 🍷👍🍇

A heart-pounding craft

This is it: the last bunch of grapes is nabbed by the de-stemmer. Once the journey of the grapes is over, the journey of the wine begins.

This fleeting moment is the "rien ne va plus" of the wine-growing year, the work in the field, the harvest and the move to the winery: the wine's ultimate home. Ah, what a sigh of relief!

The end of a journey made of a thousand unknowns one after another, a thousand decisions to be made, day after day.

The winemaker's trade is a heart-stopping one. Harvesting is a birth that occurs, precisely, in the ninth month of pregnancy. If managed naturally, until the very last moment one does not know when it will occur.

Once filled, the boxes of grapes at Stella di Lemmen go from arm to arm and finally down the mountain: they rendezvous where the rack begins, are loaded and have a nice ride with a sea view, not without a few jolts and a few extra heart palpitations for the driver because of the weight and speed of the convoy on the steepest sections of monorail, almost as if they were on a roller coaster.

Up and down, up and down. Each journey ends with the heartening sight of the Litoranea road and the final comfort due to the slowing of the end of the ride. Saved, once again - we load the Ape and off with the transport to the cellar.

In the de-stemmer, the disappearance of the bunches follows at a rapid pace and each evening the day's grapes already rest in their tank, the cradle of the must.

The succession of seasons, weather patterns and the attention lavished on the vineyard, as well as the land that hosts it, turn to the final gathering, its florilegium: the wine.

He will express his past, the summary of the last vintage.

"In vino veritas," said the Latins. Wine does not lie, and it should help us not to lie. That is why we like it, why it intrigues us: because truth, for all of us, is vital, is sacred.

What to say? Thank you all guys, it was great once again. Thank you for your participation, your generosity, the effort, the synergy, the moment of life spent together, the tension as well as the laughter shared.

Bravo to all of us, from the oldest to the youngest. Thank you and...cheers!

I forgot: now, Konstantin, you take care of it! And the heartbreak continues...

Un mestiere al cardiopalma

Ci siamo: anche l’ultimo grappolo viene acciuffato dalla diraspatrice. Finito il viaggio dell’uva, inizia quello del vino.

Questo istante fuggente è il "rien ne va plus" dell’anno viticolo, del lavoro in campo, della vendemmia e del trasferimento in cantina: la casa del vino. Ah, che sospiro di sollievo!

La fine di un percorso fatto di mille incognite una dopo l'altra, mille decisioni da prendere, giorno dopo giorno.

Il mestiere del vignaiolo è un mestiere al cardiopalma. La vendemmia un parto che si verifica, appunto, al nono mese di gravidanza. Se gestito in modo naturale, fino all’ultimo non si sa quando avverrà.

Una volta riempite, le cassette di uva a Stella di Lemmen passano da braccia a braccia e infine scendono dalla montagna: si danno appuntamento dove inizia la cremagliera, vengono caricate e si fanno un bel viaggio con vista mare, non senza qualche scossone e qualche palpito del cuore in più per il conducente, per via del peso e della velocità del convoglio nei tratti di monorotaia più ripidi, quasi fossimo su un ottovolante.

Su e giù, su e giù. Ogni viaggio termina con la rincuorante vista della Litoranea ed il conforto finale dovuto al rallentamento del fine corsa. Salvi, ancora una volta - si carica l’Ape e via col trasporto in cantina.

Nella diraspatrice la sparizione dei grappoli si sussegue a ritmo veloce ed ogni sera le uve della giornata già riposano nella loro vasca, la culla del mosto.

Il susseguirsi delle stagioni, dell’andamento climatico e delle attenzioni elargite alla vigna, così come alla terra che la ospita, volgono all’adunata finale, il suo florilegio: il vino.

Lui ci restituirà il suo trascorso, il riassunto dell’ultima annata.

“In vino veritas” dicevano i latini. Il vino non mente, e ci dovrebbe aiutare a non mentire. Per questo ci piace, ci intriga: perché la verità, per tutti noi, è vitale, è sacra.

Che dire? Grazie a tutti ragazzi, è stato bello ancora una volta. Grazie della vostra partecipazione, della vostra generosità, della fatica, della sinergia, del momento di vita trascorso insieme, della tensione così come della risata condivise.

Bravi a tutti noi, dai più anziani ai più giovani. Grazie e...salute!

Dimenticavo: adesso, Konstantin, pensaci tu! E il cardiopalma continua...

🍇MOULDY GRAPES part 1🍇 As I'm finishing the latest chapter of Precarity I found this story about harvesting wine in Switzerland I made for @kushkomikss in 2013 in the depths of my hard disc and I wanted to share it here in two chapters, second one coming tomorrow. Precarity was very colourful already back then, first time I made a comic with markers😜 Even though life has changed a lot since, I'm still that beastie punky person with black hoodie, and will probably always be. #comicseries #comicserie #marlenekrause #comicartist #autobiographicalcomics #markerdrawing #wineharvest #mouldygrapes #tebeo #comic #indiecomics (en Aigle, Suisse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwgKQcDAwr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Calidad y tradición son dos términos que definen a J. J. Martínez, ya que a lo largo de los años hemos estado implicados en las actividades cotidianas, en este caso tenemos la vendimia, proceso en el que se recolecta la uva para la producción de vino. La vendimia tiene lugar aproximadamente de agosto a octubre. En nuestro catálogo tenemos una gran variedad de tranchetes, tanto en material como en tamaño. Los tranchetes son navajas de punta curva, que se utilizan en la recolección manual de los racimos de uva. . . . . . #vino #wine #navaja #knife #knifeporn #knifelife #knifemaking #knifepics #knifefanatics #knifesales #uva #grapes #vendimia #grapeharvest #wineharvest #artesania #handmade #naturaleza #nature #agricultura #agriculture #santacruzdemudela #cuchilleriamartinez #cuchilleriajjmartinez #jjmartinez (en Castilla-La Mancha, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEg8cNFDMUO/?igshid=19az4ydkp73hs
