You we interviewed you last year. Pretty crazy interview, phone number. We're very, very nice in two years, what I have to say, because you told us a lot about your estate. Now, you got a new gravity winery. Is that correct? Yes. Well, come on just tell us about it. Why did you build a gravity winery? And what what were the challenges being in Bighurier? Because you knew the sea and it's difficult to go deep underground? Yes. Because maybe if you were because we don't have more space, we and we stay very close to the sea. How close are you to the sea? Five kilometer to the sea. Alright. This is not you're not like you're right on the beach? Yes. No. Not like I say, two proper solace behind you. No. But, two minutes. Two minutes. Five minutes. I said I've made I tell you what you look like a guy that spent all his youth on the beach. You didn't really do a lot of school, did you? Is that right? Yes. Alright. So, okay. Tell us a little bit. Just remind us about the family history, your family history. Yes. Yes. We we produce wine from five generation and that our father at the end of sixty to to produce only wine battling wine with a big strong passion. Okay. And made from, what are your main grape varieties? The main grape, of course, is vermantino grape. White wine? Our first love. And it's dry? And, it's dry. Yes. And a lot of local, I'll talk to a variety of grape, such as albarola. Albarola, which is red or white. White. Right. And the flavors of albarola. My aromatic herbs, aromatic herbs, aromatica. No. You look at you. Aromatica. She don't look at me. She k. That's the microphone. Oh, I don't have a transformer. I don't. Okay. Okay. So let's do that again. Albarola. And so is it a red wine gray or white wine grape? It's a white grape. And what does it taste of, brother? Aromatic herbs, very fresh, very delicate, flower, good acidity. This variety is a very right for this acidity and minerality. And what what are the best dishes for that particular variety? Food matches have been amazing. We we really love to match it with some, fresh vegetable dish or maybe better some sushi or some raw fish. Okay. Temura. Any other new user continue to line? A new seller. We work, for the new project. It's very important for us. We dream it for a lot of years. And, we really think that we create a good project respecting the area and our tradition. So we try to use just natural material and trying to preserve a good process of winemaking. So to help us to work better. Okay. So you're making, bread and white wine? Yes. So you're working by gravity? Yes. Mostly because, we stay very close to the sea. It's very difficult to work with the gravity. So what were the natural materials you used for the winery? Wood or local stone? Locker stone. Which is what kind of stone? Is it marble? Is it sandstone? Is it volcanic? Mhmm. Machino is, minor stone marble. Yes, and wood. And wood as well. Yes. And more, land. Earth. So, like, yeah, like earth tiles, basically. We're talking about marble. This was an area where, michelangelo used to come and take his marble from. Yeah? Yes. Of course. Yeah. Okay. It's very important for, for this, for this area. So what do you think Michaelangelo would have said if you seize the winery. Would you say there's a bit of artistic creativity thing there? Or it's just or not? It's not all it's not all square straight lines, and is it like a creative one? I mean, you're a bit kind of hippy dippy. Is it? It's very creative So just tell us about the creative part. If you have like pictures, murals, what what makes it what makes it a little bit different? If I came to your winery and I saw it, describe what I would see. I think you can understand the passion of the producer because, the material that we use and the light that you can see. In the cellar. Okay. In the cellar. It's very, very natural. And, the floor is really covered of garden and vineyards. Okay. So you have an earth roof? Yes. Yeah. Oh, so you have plants growing on the top of the roof? The different the garden Yeah. For a part of it. Okay. We use also iron with the color of the of of the soil. So it's sort of red iron e color Yeah. So when you look it from far away You don't notice that. You see just soil Yeah. And green herbs. Just like it's blended into the landscape. Yeah. It's a simple idea, but it's really important for us. Happy with your parents very happy with the with the winery? At first moment, no, because it's a more than an idea. So we But they saw the plans. They might you must have shown them the architecture because I spent a lot of the mornings. Yeah. And because it's fair. Oh, so your sister's sensible with with realistic games, and you're the crazy guy that just just goes a little bit, you know, over budget. It's a it's a good project. I I think it is a good project. Did you have you given the winery a name? Good question. For money in two senses. Right? Yeah. Okay. I'll trade by that. You know, we can we can we can work a deal out. Okay.

You can say as well. Do you do things at once? It's absolutely impossible. Yeah. And I I I haven't been up to Lagira for a little while, but, it is a lovely region. I love whenever I drive past though, I love the, you know, the sea and, you get some lovely views of the of the sea. I like I love the airflow and the wind, and you can just relax pretty easily without being on a on a beach ride without being surrounded by people and getting really, really hot. And I love your, I love your cuisine as well, more vegetable based and more fish. So So, yeah, that'd be good. Okay. Anyway, I wanna say thanks to the crazy bossoni family.
