We want to talk about wine in bulk and in particular of Fattoria di Certignano wine! From some time now the bulk wine is seen more as a low-quality wine, a wine winery or a wine industry, but unlike most of the “drinkers” love him. The bulk wine is now the wine to everyone that besides being convenient and is also good for every day is perfect. Our bulk wine is a great success because they say the “wise customers” … your buy it willingly because he feels that it is genuine, a burns my stomach and it hurts the next day and … Our customers willingly buy drums and carboys. The first bulk wine was consumed almost exclusively by older people, perhaps because young people have less free time and even less desire to have conclusively the carboy bottles in the evening after work or on Sundays! Yet today the bulk wine a little like at all, because even with the invention of the bag in box who is also busy can buy it and spend little. Then we tell the truth for everyday wine in bulk to be large but there are also those of Saturday and Sunday and those for special occasions! Because a wine aged in barrels never refuse …

The bag in box were born in America by a company that still is a leading global manufacturer of this product convenient and innovative. Usually we see a wine in the container and immediately think Tavernello or other similar products, but are not like that because even Fattoria di Certignano sells its wine in bag in box and our customers remain satisfied. This type of packaging saves glass bottles, corks, capsules and labels in the meantime ensure quality and fair price. It ‘a brilliant idea and the wine is maintained 6 months either open or closed as the container is vacuum. The wine of Fattoria di Certignano is placed inside a bag of aluminum and sealed with a special cork inside a cardboard box custom. This new invention combines practicality, respect for the environment and economy. All our customers are happy just to prove it and nobody comes back, both for convenience and for spending. In Fattoria di Certignano you can find bag in box of white wine or red wine 5, 10 and 20 liters.

Were concluded recently in Tokyo three major events for wine. The exhibition “Cellar d’Autore” highlighted the architecture and history of some of the finest wineries of Italy, the presentation of a selection of wines from the Institute of Italian Wine Quality, ending with the Vinitaly Japan, organized by three Italian companies. This was a milestone for our Italian wine, from the time when Japan is the first Asian country for wine consumption, including a large percentage of our own. During this major event has been told the participants that Italian wine is a wine very complex and for this we need professional people who can spread the culture of our wine. Despite the current crisis on our wine, the prospects look good for the future. In fact Japan has already been noted that wine consumption will grow even further and a study on the trend of the last five years has been seen that the proportion of Italian wine market has exceeded that of France. Not only wine but also the Italian oil has been a subject much discussed at Vinitaly, since the amount of Italian oil that is imported into Japan already exceeds 50%. The Italian oil has spread a little around the world bringing with them the culture of the Italian table.

Mi piacerebbe trattare di un argomento significativo che non riguarda il tarocco inteso come cartomanzia, ma contraffazioni sul mercato vinicolo, che da un pò di tempo riguardano aziende note in Toscana ma non solo. Diversi vini sono stati accusati di essere stati taroccati dalle stesse aziende produttrici, sottoposte a relative inchieste e ad avvisi di garanzie. Le indagini da parte della Guardia di Finanza hanno messo in luce che un’enorme quantità di vini da taglio è stata miscelata a dei vini di bassissima qualità, poi rivenduti sul mercato con denominazioni di pregio. Vino taroccato che ad oggi ha contribuito ad aggravare la sussistente crisi economica ed ha distrutto un’eredità affermata attraverso una falsa qualità. Con quanto detto non possiamo però condannare tutti perchè per fortuna esiste ancora chi pratica il proprio lavoro con passione, piacere e trasparenza. Tutte le aziende come la nostra, Fattoria di Certignano, hanno il dovere di portare sulla tavola dei consumatori il vino che loro stessi hanno sulla propria, facendo il proprio lavoro con serietà e rispettando le regole.
