Another Italian Job? or When Tuscan Winemakers Fell In Love With Pugliese Farmers 2008-03-24 10:27:49 Like the great loves of history this one could not be kept in the shadows for long.Rumors were blossoming in the Italian
vineyards and whispers grew fast in Dutch coffee shops. Few even went as far as swearing they witnessed the alleged lovers hugging after dark.The great truths of life simply find a way to the sunshine on their own; this affection could not simply be overlooked any more by jealous colleagues and compatriots.It is finally in front of everyone's eyes: Tuscan wine (and olive oil) producers have a deep, intriguing, overwhelming passion for Pugliese farmers!I was just wondering what kept my compatriots from doing their part in the Financial Wines when I stumbled upon this piece of news.

s!Have you ever experienced selling a bottle of wine or olive oil? This story is about exactly that sort of entrepreneurial adventure.As a matter of fact my family owns a small piece of land with olive trees and produces extra-virgin olive oil. Cultivate, produce, sell. As simple as one, two, three ...A little bit of history to start with.I come from a family of farmers. My grandparents owned good chunks of land in the Southern Region of Puglia in Italy and my father started his career following the family tradition.Grapes, tomatoes and olives were among the main traditional products of our roots.When the (only) economic boom Italy has ever experienced arrived, my parents decided to move North to try something different and cut with a regional cul Read more:Olive
