Fruit of the Vine Photograph by William Albert Allard
Vineyard owner Gianni Voerzio harvests grapes from his fields near La Morra in the heart of the Piedmont, Italys renowned wine-producing region. The Nebbiolo grapes grown here produce two of Italys best-loved red winesBarolo and Barbarescowhich can fetch up to U.S. $140 a bottle. Climate, altitude, and soils contribute to ideal grape-growing conditions, says Voerzio, along with one special ingredient: the devotion of the people working the land. |
