If one loves horses, he also loves nature. It is not possible otherwise.
He loves the smell of sweat after a race, the smell of newly opened stables, the smell of hay. You love stroking horses, you love cleaning the hooves and eventually even the dust and mud.
But you also love the rain and the smell of wet earth, the scents of dawn and those of the night. You love walking in the meadows and woods and you love galloping in the water. Sometimes you love what you do so much that you merge with the environment and different part of it integrated.
And if you love nature so much, you also love natural foods and earthy flavors combined with expert craftsmanship.
Just as a rider manages to reach levels of total symbiosis with his horse, so a chef or an oenologist are able to enter into the tastes of natural products and combine them in such a way as to give pleasure to all who taste them.
It was a long but special journey that spent us discovering the thousand shades of color and scent of wine.
We have learned to admire the mastery of the winemakers hidden behind every glass of wine just as we admire a dressagist who melds with the horse or a jumper who shares the adrenaline of the race with his steed.
So, when drafting the Wine List for the examination, it is natural to go and see how many producers our same passion and the image of a horse in the logo or in the labels of some bottles has been chosen.
We are many!
Some companies have also returned to using draft horses in vineyard cultivation.
And then the idea of contacting them and telling some stories, the idea of a horse riding-food and wine tourism.
And we are the ones who live in the Terre del Cesanese, with the legendary Cesanese del Piglio DOCG, we will be the first to talk about the wines of our territory and we will offer bottles of Cesanese to those who come to visit us.
