Producing an excellent wine requires a lot of experience and knowledge. A mental strain due to technical choices, a constant restlessness about the meaning to be communicated, in the continuous search for a connection between the organoleptic characteristics and the global emotion that the wine must arouse.
Transmitting one's emotion through tasting in a unique experience: physical and mental. It is an ongoing obsession. But suffering is never an end in itself. Suffering teaches, and is the closest relative of knowledge. The ancient Greeks knew this well through the tragedy of Aeschylus, where "Pathei mathos" was "Knowledge through suffering". The birth of a good wine cannot escape such a sacrifice. Good fruits are born from sacrifice. The greater the pain, the greater the value.
