One of the stories told in the book is our :
can not understand a wine, oil, any of the fruits of the earth, without understanding what is the area where he was born. Not at least until the end. Here then is that Maurice Altea brings us to the heart of wine Serdiana: the Romanesque church of Santa Maria di Sibiola. From the roof of the building that was the Benedictine Marseilles eye dominates the low hills of this corner of Sardinia, Cagliari Province, just north of the capital: old vineyards that seem woods, edges of wild beauty, rugged and low screws, gnarled, wild plants and perfumes, flavorings pungent, thistle, gorse, Mediterranean, and there the saltwater marsh on staineddu, where they rely on migratory birds, where the flying knight of Italy and the flamingo ... salt, which covers the grapes feel taste the air, outstanding environment, as they pass before my eyes the colors of the wind. Born here, in quiet corners of nature, enveloping the wines Illotto Altea, Altea and Maurizio Adele Illotto, agronomist by profession, vocation for tenants. About six thousand bottles produced from grapes strictly organic wines true, peasants. Only two labels: Altea Altea white and red, both IGT Sibiola, tiny wine area of \u200b\u200bthe island. The red blend of noble grape varieties, the first of Monica, which Maurizio Altea also has a vineyard of four decades, almost a multicolored wood screws, for the most elegant grape of Sardinia.

In the small winery Altea Illotto Instead it is vinified dry, with the addition of a little 'Vermentino. The result is a deep and crisp white, with shades of gold, well-structured, fruity nose in the first year and then filled with hints of musk, flowers and plants of the Mediterranean, rock rose, myrtle and rosemary. The mouth is long, delicious, savory, sea, of those wines that claim the next sip, and you do not forget the alcohol from their boarders. Call the sea, barbecue, smoke. The roe, Of course, the mullet of the Cabras lagoon, the area of \u200b\u200bOristano, the west coast, going north. Not far from where Seneghe traditionally born the great oils from Sardinia. As that produced by Adele Illotto centenarians olive, the other half of the winery: the olive grove Bosana, Tonda and Semidana, looks like a garden with stone walls and prickly pears and grass kept clean by the grazing of flocks and horses. The oil is very good: pungent fresh grass, spicy artichoke, green with reflections of gold, very typical. Sardinian beautifully as a song of Elena Ledda.

Bringing together the winemakers from
from sixteen European countries (from France to Georgia) and to agree on a common manifesto is a tremendous accomplishment and will have more weight within the EU, in this sense, the spokesman for all tenants will be the European Cevi (European Confederation of Independent Winegrowers ) who was present with the president Xavier de Volontat.
The manifest must be understood as a document of a community of vignerons who considers every bottle of wine, a product of culture, of history, territory, tradition and identity
Burdese Roberto, president of Slow Food Italy , after reading the document , thus concluded: "This poster has an important meaning because many vignerons already put into practice its guidelines. Producers who have come together in these days are in fact creating a movement that fought the approval, and values \u200b\u200bthe diversity, yet manages to find common ground. "
In the afternoon, in P.za Santissima Annunziata, was held Market Vignerons d'Europe, where the wines of participating winemakers to Vignerons d'Europe have been made to taste the many wine enthusiasts flocked to this unique event.
