The Hero, home and land come alive

Reading from Personal Legends of Piemonte

“The rhythm accelerates as various brands of tractors and trucks take over our windy roads. Gratefully we give way to millions of crystal-clear green and red grapes glistening beneath the sun. You’d think vineyards would lose their attraction, but they’ve only just begun. This is when they really come alive, colors so vivacious that change so quickly, within a few weeks shifting from green to passionate red, then the grand finale—when coral, orange, and deep ochre take over—by the time their leaves find their way to the ground the next season’s on its way.”
