The recent reform of the wine has introduced the measure of green harvesting, ie the total destruction of green grapes are not ripe yet. This measure should be useful in addressing the crisis that is affecting the market, but the rate that producers receive for bringing their vineyards to this destruction are not high. This practice must be done prior to coloring and producers it will be a flat rate per hectare, which can not exceed 50% of the total cost of removal of grape bunches and the income loss they suffer. The Regions will decide soon the amount will be awarded to those who submit to green harvesting and aid will be different when it comes to harvest by hand or mechanical. The measure of regional application, then each region will decide whether to apply, with which method to implement it, whether or not to discard certain areas or so varieties. But not all regions are in fact examples for green harvesting as Tuscany and Emilia Romagna have decided to work on aid to restructuring and grape vineyards.

We are still waiting for the new regulation to administer food and beverage company without having to overnight. Regulation rather long time already granted in other regions. There have however been much criticism and many attacks such as the Federation of Italian public services Confcommercio who strongly attacked the proposed law say that in this way, the cottages will become as restaurants with the only difference that the latter will pay less taxes. Others think differently and argue the fact that most cottages waiver of the special rate scheme by opting for the normal system to determine income to deduct management fees. In fact, the special arrangement is suitable only for small businesses. Beyond this, however, it is true that the farm has some advantages such as lower costs providenziali, community contributions and reduced ICI. But it is also true that there are things down as uncomfortable position in the country, the obligation to use its raw materials and regional organizations, and all costs for the processing of agricultural products. All in all, should correct that all entrepreneurs came together to request checks against those who acts improperly doing harm to those who do their work honestly. Fattoria di Certignano can accommodate 4 to 6 people in a small and nice village, where you can breathe the true and pure scent of the countryside.

In 2009 fortunately the reports of mass deaths of bees decreased compared to 2008 and 2010 expected an improvement. In 2008, the bee die-offs occurred during the sowing of corn, so it was easy to understand that improving their health was then in 2009 to ban the use of tanning for corn. In fact right on the labels of these drugs is indicated that the product contains a substance very toxic to bees. The fault of their plague is not attributable solely to tanning because one study noted that there may be other causes such as virus or plague. Today the project APEnet moritorare deals with the causes of this problem and to reduce the phenomena of the drift by improving the tannery. In 2009 we saw that the depopulation of hives depends not only on a single factor and that in 2010 you will need to understand the interactions that may occur. Italy finally echoed at Community level so that this important issue be addressed in parallel in the 27 member countries. So what led to the use of common measures, such as monitoring the EU territory, the use of suitable seed dressing and in professional installations.

Even Fattoria di Certignano, a small village on the Arno Valley Provincial Road Setteponti organize tastings for wine lovers in general and especially for those who want to know ours! The wines are tasting will be given in three selected wines of our production. Red wines offered are all aged in barriques vintages are 2006 0 2007 and the main grape variety is Sangiovese.

It costs six euros per person with three wines tasting or a wine and a glass of Vin Santo accompanied by appetizers to better enjoy our wine including bread with our extra virgin olive oil. During the tasting will be shown pictures of our company and explain the stages of production, from grape harvest up to the bottle.

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.
