Sangiovese

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.
