Among the members Assovini's satisfaction with the quality of the grapes and this year we speak of good harvest. The picture, as always, is a bit 'patchy for the diversity of climatic conditions on the island but the common denominator of the vintage 2010, from the first declarations of technicians and owners, is that it has enjoyed a favorable weather pattern, with a fresh spring, dry summer characterized by only a few days of hot weather in August and then a bit 'of rain in September, and above all with excellent day-night temperature changes, they did raise healthy grapes, well ripened, which is expected to make perfumes wines get very intense, and wide variety. The winemaker

Tonino Guzzo, the following member companies of the cellar Assovini Viticultori Associates of Canicatti, Castellucci Miano and Feud in Valledolmo Disisa in Monreale, mapped out a preliminary assessment of the 2010 harvest in west-central Sicily: "This is the third vintage in a row that looks great in my opinion, was a year with some fresh hot day until late August, there is a decrease in the quantity but the quality is really good. " For Viticultori Associates, with vineyards ranging from sea level on the coast of Agrigento until 600 meters inland from Canicattì, Guzzo in the coastal zone has already completed the harvest of white and began that of Nero d'Avola. For Castellucci Miano Madonie with vineyards on 600 meters of altitude instead the collection has just begun and has started with the catarratto that will serve as the basis of the sparkling wine, the acidity is excellent. A feud Disisa, about three hundred meters inland from Palermo, but it is already finished collecting the perricone and yields were deliberately very low. A

Donnafugata describe a year of average wettest autumn and winter. The harvest began a little 'late, but then accelerated, has been completed for some variety in the same period last year, and for others a few days in advance. "The heat waves of August were well balanced by high temperature between day and night, the isolated squalls of September did not cause problems - reviews are by Antonio Rallo - For all the varieties have been regularly achieved excellent ripening sugar and phenol. Overall, the grapes harvested at Contessa Entellina and Pantelleria are slightly below average in quantity, from very good to excellent quality is achieved for the wine. "

other side of the island Francesco Ferreri dell'Acate Valley and chairman of the Consortium of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, also describes optimal age and makes good predictions about the fragrance of the year. 'It is true that it rained in early September - said Ferreri - but in a concentrated and very strong so that the soil has not had time to absorb the water that slipped away, the grapes are left dry, very sound, and not There was the hit of heat that sometimes makes them ripe. The temperatures are not particularly high, the temperature changes between day and night large, aging very smooth, the result - he concludes - are great fragrances, particularly among whites for cricket. " After the harvest dell'inzolia, cricket and chardonnay in the valley began dell'Acate milkshake, very fragrant this year, and the Nero d'Avola.

In mid-harvest is also Sireci Fabio Feudo Montoni to Cammarata, the heart of Sicily, which emphasizes that in his area the winter rains have made up a good supply of water depth in the soil, then it was a cool summer with high day-night temperature changes. Despite a bit 'of rain in late August, the grapes are left in the aerial part dry and healthy, did not show any disease and this has been really good for his company which is in organic conversion. "The catarratto is really great. There was this year's extreme heat, the ripening curve was excellent - he explains - the acidity is high and after maceration I noticed a very pronounced bouquet. The red grapes are presented now with crunchy and very mature seeds.

has almost finished harvest, plants have only the cabernet sauvignon for perfect lignification of seeds, instead of Cattolica Eraclea Roger Rizzuto that make wine in their own, but is also an important bestower of Cantina Settesoli of Memphis. "This year there was sirocco, a few days of hot close of August, the fact that merlot is very sensitive to the African heat did not suffer at all - says Rizzuto - the harvest is playing a little 'later, August 7 with the pinot grigio, and because in my company, like many in Memphis, for the most part by machine when the grapes have reached the perfect point of ripeness we picked them quickly and also at night, from one to five in the morning, creating a very precise harvest on the basis of different grape varieties, soils and altitudes in the basement and bringing a product really perfect. "

Significant temperature changes are the norm instead of Etna, where the harvest is just beginning. Nerello carricante and are still on the plant but it has already harvested the international and the other white Sicilian. "It 's been a year earlier and less abundant in quantity because it did not rain from late June to late August - says Francesco Cambria's Cottanera - August 23 we started Etna harvesting and dell'inzolia grecanico, 25 Merlot, and so on. But the nerello early this year, we will begin collecting as early as next week with 7-10 days in advance. The quality of the grapes is very good, almost optimal ripeness, the rains have not damaged the beginning of September the grapes that have remained very healthy. We expect wines from international varieties particularly fresh. "
