A day in the vineyards

in GEMS4 years ago (edited)

May is an important month for the vineyards because the very first and very small grapes begin to blossom. It is a very delicate moment for the vineyards because they risk being destroyed by the violent weather conditions of the time.

It is a must for the owners to cover the entire vineyard with long and heavy anti hail sheets, essential if you fear the rain of ice balls capable of literally destroying all the plants and risking not being able to collect anything. It would be enormous damage.

This vineyard is owned by my wife's father, a farmer since birth, admirable for his infinite love and care for the land. Every morning, at 4, Giovanni goes to his land and dedicates constant attention to every inch of his creature.

Everything you see in these photos was built and created with his hands after thousands of hours of hard work and it is moving to see it folded under the sheets to take care of even the single leaf.

The effort of the farmer's life is satisfied daily by the incredible resources that nature gives every day: from the sunset of the early hours of the day, to the scents of flowers and fruits, the sounds of birds and the purity of the air.

There is a lot of effort but also ask Giovanni if ​​they offered him ten times his current salary to work in the office, in front of a computer and with a phone in his hands ...

A man born in nature will end his time here ... And there is no money in this world that can change its destiny
