Francesca Colombini has lived in the hills of Montalcino. She has witnessed important events like the  war, the end of the sharecropping system, the great land reform, and is a leading figure in the development of Brunello. Her story, while retracing these events, views them through the lens of a deeply felt personal experience that makes these pages different from so many memoirs and writings about the country. There are reports of a family and social history in the places where agriculture is practiced and the vines and destinies of people are cultivated.
