Nicola, the wine and the vineyard #41

Forty-first page of my journal. Here’s an update on our November: the essential winter pruning, the upcoming Gatta’s Première Vol. III on December 15th, and the new bottle selections available in the shop dedicated to ME.GA. Drinkers. At the end of this article, you’ll find the “What to drink” section, where I suggest which bottle to open this month.

Nicola, the wine and the vineyard #41

In the vineyard: winter pruning


We’ve entered the winter pruning phase, a time to bring order, giving the vines new direction and energy for the coming spring.

Using the Guyot method, we renew the fruiting cane each year, helping the vine regenerate with vitality. It’s a blend of technique, instinct, and sensitivity: every shoot has its story, every plant its personality. We aim for sunny days, when the shoots bend without breaking, and work calmly, step by step.

This process will carry us through to January, but it’s now that the foundation for the next harvest is laid.

What to drink 


Right now, I would open

🍾 FEBO Orange Chardonnay 2018

Why? Here’s why...
After a few years of resting in the bottle, this wine has reached an extraordinary level of evolution, as is the case with great wines that demand time.

Today, it reveals itself with intensity, offering notes of apricot and ripe fruit, complemented by a vibrant tension brought out by carbonic maceration. A sip that’s both sharp and satisfying.
