Picked the Sangiovese today. Its a little early as its showing Brix at 21.5, but I am hoping to make a light fresh Rose not too high in alcohol. Total weight picked was 96 Kgs, the grapes were in great condition, big clean bunches with large grapes.

Pecorino Harvest
Saturday 5th September
Rain in the morning, after a couple of hours of lunchtime sun, we picked 87 kgs of Pecorino. Much better harvest than last year. These were crushed, left overnight on the skins, and pressed gently next day to make around 50 litres of juice. The Juice was measured at 24.5 Brix.

Grape Update
Its rainy and cold today in Italy, not at all what we want for the 19th August.
However we have had some fine and hot weather for a while now, and the grapes are looking better than they ever looked.
Last night I tested the Brix and we have 17 on the Sangiovese and 18 on the Pecorino, so looking like they will be ready early September.
