SW: What is the one thing you
haven’t done yet in your vintner
career that you would like
to accomplish?
JB: I’m in a very deep and
fascinating study of the structure
of the soil on which stand my vines. I
am discovering many new things and
above all continue to learn that our
senses and scientific instruments are
so limited to fully understand the
complexity of the natural processes.
It will take a long time to complete
the first phase of this study, but this
is normal when you have to follow
the rhythm of the seasons.
SW: If you could provide one or two
tips for prospective winery owners,
what would it be?
JB: Let’s start with studying the
ancient history of winemaking and
feel part of this story, because that
is the story of human civilization. Be
humble and grateful in front of the
magic of nature and respect those
who drink the product of your work.
