FOOD HEROES: Samuele Heydi Bonanini
A dry-stone wall marks Samuele’s life choice: At the age of 16 he started rebuilding one of his family’s ancient terraces, and he never stopped, having decided to become a vigneron, making wine from grapes grown on the challenging terraced slopes that plunge down to the sea, now mostly abandoned. Keeping viticulture alive here means preserving the landscape, encouraging young people to stay in the area and finding ways to ensure a future for those who dedicate their lives to working the land. The first step to all this is producing a Sciacchetrà of the highest quality, which can command profitable prices on the market that make up for its tiny quantities. The Slow Food Presidium protects the entirely manual processing throughout the year, which normally would increase the production costs sixfold. The priceless result of all this hard work is a unique wine, described by the poet D’Annunzio as “that proud Sciacchetrà that is pressed in the five vine-rich lands,” golden in color with amber hints, an intense fragrance and a harmonious and persistent flavor.
Sustainability, respect for knowledge and traditions, innovation: These are the key elements of the model for food and wine production that the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Coopertion and Slow Food want to celebrate during the 7th “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World,” focusing on key players in the food production world.
