"Vinification: A Journey Through Time and Tradition" Step into the captivating world of vinification, where artistry and science intertwine to create the elixir of gods. From ancient cellars to modern stainless steel fermentation vats, every step in the winemaking process is a testament to human ingenuity. In Giuseppe Maria Crespi's "Scene in the Cellar, " we are transported back to 18th-century Italy, witnessing laborers meticulously tending to barrels filled with fermenting grapes. Their dedication echoes through time as we admire an Italian master's depiction of September's harvest in "The Labours of the Months. " At Chateau Belair, an old stone quarry has been transformed into a cellar housing state-of-the-art stainless steel fermentation vats. The juxtaposition between tradition and innovation is palpable as we descend down stairs leading us deep into Matusko Winery's wine cellar in Croatia's Dingac wine region. An enchanting wooden entrance door adorned with a metal ring knocker welcomes us into Domaine de Beaucastel. As we step inside, our senses are overwhelmed by the intoxicating aroma of aging wines. This historic estate stands proudly amidst its vineyards, a true embodiment of French winemaking heritage. Chapoutier winery unveils its storage room for spirits and marc – a sanctuary where time-honored techniques meet contemporary craftsmanship. Meanwhile, Cave P et Andre Perret crafts prestigious wines like Condrieu and Cote Rotie within their Chavannay winery, nestled underground in an old stone quarry. Stainless steel fermentation tanks dominate Chapoutier's winery landscape; one tank houses Crozes Hermitage – a promise of future excellence waiting patiently for its moment to shine. These tanks also feature equipment for pigeage - traditional grape pressing by foot - ensuring gentle extraction of flavors from each precious berry. And finally, our journey concludes with a glimpse into the art of distillation.
