“No wonder the wine wasn’t good,” she added.From wine journals being published about that time, Altare discovered two basic principles to producing greatness in wines, revolutionary principles for the Langhe Hills, commonplace by today’s standards:  green-harvesting (crop-thinning) to produce more richly flavored grapes; and ageing the wine in French oak So the young Barolo farmers, understanding that such practices were necessary to create more alluring wines, persevered, going into their vineyards at dawn to take even more clusters off while their elders were still asleep. Every farmer had a vineyard, and the grapes and wine were a part of the farmers’ daily nutrition and income.
