Visiting a hill in Vicenza, plunging into a path in the middle of the woods, surrounded by small springs and roe-deer that cross the road quietly, is really fascinating. It is even more fascinating when the road takes you to a small organic farm, where Francesco and Claudia, masters of hospitality, welcome you with a smile and a slice of bread, just heated to the plate, on which they serve their organic oil which, thanks to the warmth of the bread, invades the surrounding air of the scent of the forest just left behind.
We tasted the bread with a glass of pure Carmenère wine, also produced by organic farming and obtained from a vine that has had one of the most troubled stories of world enology, not so understood for years, up to its cradle that are the Berici mountains, to live a new era that is enhancing it. At an olfactory level it is rich in spices but never intrusive, a fleshiness that also emerges on the nose and then reaches the sweetness of the green pepper, a perfume that, the more time passes in which it dwells in the glass, the more it rises to elegance.
In the mouth its harmony is genuinely true, never a gleaning, never a different note from what the smell has received, and in its balance it closes with a softness that reminds of silkiness and great harmony. Here the vinification is natural, made with the use of pied de cuve with spontaneous yeasts, fermentation and aging in vitrified cement tanks, using very low amounts of sulfur, below 30 mg and within the limits of the Vinnatur disciplinary.

To combine with everything that, by smelling this wine, can get you an emotion. For our part, we can confirm that that slice of bread with the oil produced by the Del Rèbene company has given an emotion that still surprises for its genuine simplicity.
