Last Tuesday some members of our club completed the bottling of their wine, which started back in February. 1500 lbs of Sangiovese grapes were deseeded and destemmed and put into a barrel to ferment. These grapes are from Italy’s Tuscany region, and are used in making Chianti’s and Cabernet’s. Latin translation for sangiovese is “The Blood of Jupiter”, the King of all gods in Roman mythology. After fermentation the mix was clarified, then put into a barrel to age. Bottling was a 4 step process. First you fill the bottle with wine, then insert your cork, then heat seal with a cap, finish with your own designed label. 24 cases of wine were bottled by members.
Salute! Chin-Chin!
