Got to love those little hands

See this content in the original post

The vines are growing upwards, anchoring themselves to the foliage wires with their tendrils. While the agronomical term is viticci, in Montalcino they are known as manine – little hands – since it’s as if the vines are clinging to the wires for support.We are very close to flowering here at Le Due Porte and, in spite of the cooler temperatures and abnormal rainfall, 2013 is moving forward. Onwards and upwards!
