T HE YOUNG WINEMAKERS. E ACH OF US HAS BROUGHT A CLUSTER OF GRAPES. W E HAVE A HARD JOB : TO TURN GRAPES INTO WINE

F IRST WE SEPARATE THE BERRIES FROM THE STEMS.

T HE PRESSED JUICE IS VIOLET, DARK, HOT, STICKY. W E TASTED : IT ’ S SWEET AND JUICY. T HE SCENT IS PLEASANT.

W E PUT THE JUICE, SKINS AND PIPS IN A TRANSPARENT POT …. …. A ND L ET ' S WAIT A FEW DAYS

A FTER 4 DAYS T ODAY IN CLASS WE HAVE FOUND A VERY STRONG SMELL.

THE SKINS AND SEEDS ROSE ALL UP. T HE LIQUID IS ALWAYS PURPLE AND TURBID ; ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POT IT IS DEPOSITED A DENSER MATERIAL : THE SCUM

W E SEPARATE THE JUICE FROM THE SKINS SQUEEZING WELL WITH OUR HANDS … … HOW BEAUTIFUL !!! IT IS GREAT

I N THE POT THERE IS NOW ONLY A TURBID AND SOUR JUICE

A FTER 13 DAYS … THE MUST T HIRTEEN DAYS HAVE PASSED SINCE WE MADE THE HARVEST. I N CLASS THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF WINE SEEMS TO BE IN THE CELLAR. D URING THESE DAYS WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY BUBBLES RISE TO THE SURFACE AND FORMED A LAYER OF WHITE FOAM. W HILE THE BOTTOM OF THE POT THERE IS ALSO GROWING A LAYER OF SCUM.

T HE TEACHER WITH THE STRAINER AND FUNNEL POURED THE JUICE IN A BOTTLE. IN THIS PERIOD WILL CONTINUE FERMENTATION AND SOME MICROORGANISMS CALLED SACCHAROMYCES CONVERT SUGAR INTO ALCOHOL. T HE FERMENTATION WILL LAST A FEW MORE DAYS, BECAUSE AS THE SAYING GOES : "A S AN M ARTINO OGNI MOSTO DIVENTA VINO."

H ERE IS THE LABEL THAT WE CREATED FOR OUR BOTTLES OF WINE. T HE NAME FOR THE WINE WE CHOSE AFTER A DEMOCRATIC VOTE AMONG THREE NAMES WE HAD THOUGHT : R ODARCINCIN, U VINOTTO, U BRIACHIN Grape Harvest 2015
