Have you ever made wine at home? I grew up watching my family making wine at home and this video brings beautiful memories

[@fredfable5655]

Yes,... but watching only? When I was little, all the kids (after feet washing by Nona), were put to dance over the grapes...(actually, they put us to work!!!LOL) We also did: Prosciutto. Salame. e Passatta... And other italian style things.

[@toriless]

Only beer, you do not need a grape field to make it.

[@CrimsonCrow420]

i made wine for years with my nonno

[@vhfgamer]

I've never made wine, but I have made beer at home. It's a lot of fun, and the end product is so much better than the store bought stuff!

[@lorvin5673]

My family come from Furnari in Sicily, East of Palermo. I am 1st born in America. I am 65yo and I remember my Grandfather and my Uncles processing the grapes in the basement, crushing them in the press, putting them into the barrels, etc. My grandfathers wine was amazing. Me and all of my many cousins, grew up on his wine. I have not tasted anything like it since his passing many years ago. He was an amazing man; an amazing gardener, an amazing craftsman, and an amazing patriarch. He is missed to this day, by all that knew him. Thank you, Vincenzo, for bring back this memory...

[@vincenzosplate]

wow, this all gave me chills! feeling all this love for your childhood and your grandparents is amazing. Have you ever tried making homemade wine again?

[@lorvin5673]

@vincenzosplate I have not tried to make my own wine yet, but I plan to. I am lucky to have 10 acres of land in Florida, zone 8b. I want to grow the right grapes, but I do not know what I am supposed to grow. I do make the sausage my Grandmother used to make. She did it by hand at the kitchen table with a little metal funnel and her thumbs. I use the machine. I also make the dried sausage. I also make the sauce my mother use to make. My mother is going to be 92 this December and she still drives to church down the road from her house every Sunday morning. My sauce is good, my meatballs are good, my sausage is good. I struggle to make the bread, though. I have to practice more. I really like that you tell people when they are not cooking Italian food correctly. There are so many. The best Italian food, is the Italian food made at home...

[@user-se1ev7my6f]

❤❤. I love Italy and everything Italian. Home grown wine in Italy is an absolute thing of beauty. I’m a Level 2 Sommelier, and I have Never tasted any wine that compares to the private wine collections of everyday Italians!

[@mattek1985]

​@@lorvin5673Will you tell me the secret of how to make Italian sausage according to your grandmother's recipe? I am Polish, but I am fascinated by Italian food and this beautiful country.

[@BryanFazekas]

@@lorvin5673 -- contact the U of FL -- they have a grape research center and they have produced at least a few new hot weather hybrids. They can advise you on what to plant. Warning -- you're not going to grow European varietals. It will be Muscadine, Scuppernong, and hybrids designed for the weather. Look for local wineries and taste their wines, to ensure it's what you want to grow. Regardless of that, look for a local homebrew store. You can get started in winemaking by getting a hardware kit and making wine kits.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

It's always nice to see artisinal methods being kept alive.

[@vincenzosplate]

These traditions must be preserved ❤️

[@joannasunday]

I just love those rustic tools and barrels. My Italian uncles used to make wine every now and then, just like they did in the "Old Country." It was really special to get a bottle for Christmas. My dad would handle it like it was a precious fragile thing. Which it was i guess! Love the video, thank you Vincenzo!❤

[@vincenzosplate]

Getting homemade wine or homemade products in general as a present I believe is the best thing ever, you can really feel the love ❤️

[@tl4214]

Yes, I couldn't agree more! So much love in every sip of wine, bite of food, stitches in a blanket, brush strokes of painting.

[@cm_carlito]

I make wine/cider/beer at home on a much smaller scale. It is very interesting to see how the same process is approached from a different perspective. That family grows their own grapes, which will transform into a unique wine. It also looked like this process used wild fermentation, making the end product even more unique. Would love to try this wine someday. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@vincenzosplate]

This is amazing my friend, I admire you for making your own wine and beer 👏🏻 these are traditions that must be kept alive! Well done

[@billterry967]

I’ve never wanted a glass of wine so bad as I do now 😂 🙏🌹

[@chuckmarius323]

my family still makes wine like this every year, though we don't have all of that fancy equipment, just one giant barrel into which we use a hand crank press to smash the grapes, then it gets moved to smaller barrels in a cool area underground and left to ferment... later we use the remaining grape stalks and skins to make tuika :) (yes, we use the leftovers from making alcohol to make more alcohol)

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for sharing with me how you and your family make your homemade wine 🍷

All I need is a vineyard, wagon, tractor, all the stuff in the basement, and a large barrel (the beautiful short lady the spin the barrel😮). Got it. All seriousness aside - I did enjoy the family wine making!👍🍷

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahah well it's a process that has its own technicalities, but the result makes it so worth it! Happy to hear that you enjoyed this video 🍷❤️

[@TitianTexan]

Hey Vicenzo ~ Great video!!! My suoceri used to make their own wine and grappas (We have our own grapes). Now, they're not in the greatest of health, so that tradition took a back seat a long time ago. However, the homemade wine is bomb! That stuff will put hair on your chest!

[@vincenzosplate]

Oh great to hear! Grappa is also delicious, I love it, and I’m sure the one your Suoceri made was amazing 🤤 Homemade is always the best!

[@OceanChild7]

my mom started to make wine 4 years ago because my dad's friend inherited a little vineyard and didn't know what to do with all of the grapes that it produced :) We make it completely naturally and manually in the conditions of 3 bedroom flat and it comes out amazing every year. They started with just 30 litres and this year they'll get over 60 litres and now we don't know what to do with all the wine that we produce but at least we always have a great present for all of our relatives and friends 🤭 Before that I thought you can't make a homemade wine that actually tastes good, but yes you can! It's not easy, I don't think anyone can do it but it is definitely possible🤩

[@60frederick]

Wonderful video! It is good to see the old way how wine is produced. The new way it looks more like in a chemical factory. 🏭 Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your experience video with us.

[@vincenzosplate]

Making it at home could be a bit difficult 😅 but I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@galynahagen5939]

You can easily do this at home: press very ripe grapes with your hands (in gloves), put the pulp into a tank (could be plastic buckets) cover with lids and gauze so as no flies allowed, let it ferment for several days (depends on temperature), stir two times a day, in a temperarure about or a bit lower 20 degrees . Squeeze the juice with hands and gauze, put it into a glass or plasic bottles under water locks (!) to continue fermentation. Temperature lower 20 is better. When fermentation is over siphon the wine into another container, so you separate all the sediment from it. Close and store in cool place for three months minimum. Ready.

[@Krfification101]

What variety of grapes are these?

[@BryanFazekas]

It's not just one variety. Their wine is a "field blend", everything grown in the vineyard goes into the wine. Watch the video again -- there's white grapes in the blend and it's likely there are numerous reds. It's entirely possible the family doesn't know what varietals they are growing. When a vine dies, they get a new one (doesn't matter what) to fill the hole. This is traditional family winemaking whose purpose is to make a beverage for the family.

[@LiefLayer]

All'asilo avevamo maestre davvero intraprendenti. Abbiamo fatto sia il vino (pestando gli acini, metodo super tradizionale, in classe), sia il pane (in un panificio vero, esperienza davvero straordinaria per un bambino), abbiamo raccolto le fragole in un'azienda agricola (mettendole poi sotto limone e zucchero per la conservazione e per fare poi la marmellata) ci siamo anche divertiti a fare dei talismani di argilla (cotti nel forno diventavano davvero resistenti tanto che li ho ancora). Sono gite che ricordo ancora oggi... dopotutto nelle scuole gite così sono davvero rare (anche se di gite belle ne ho fatte anche alle elementari con alcuni musei tipo quello Egizio e quello di Scienze Naturali, alle medie Salisburgo... alle superiori l'Etna... di certo molto più standard e meno incentrate sull'esperienza). Ad oggi a dirla tutta non bevo praticamente mai perché non mi piace il gusto (anche se un goccio di spumante a capodanno, un goccio di sake una volta ogni 3-4 anni lo bevo), ma uso comunque spesso il vino in cucina per sfumare i sughi/risotti e per la carne (il retrogusto che lascia il vino mi piace). Parentesi, qualche anno fa i miei genitori avevano anche un'orticello con un paio di vigne (2 di numero letteralmente). Facevano dell'uva fragola davvero buona.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hai pienamente ragione, una volta era più comune per le scuole organizzare esperienze di questo tipo, cosa che io trovo fantastica! Spero che anche oggi nelle scuole vengano ancora mostrate queste bellissime tradizioni!

[@davoap1268]

So does the sugars of the grapes turn into alcohol when its been fermented for several days in the barrel? I never tasted Italian wine so I am curious for more detail about it.

[@BryanFazekas]

Yeast eats the sugar, emitting alcohol and CO2. The yeast may eat all the sugar with 4 days, or it may take a week or more, depending on the situation. It looks like magic, but it's just hungry yeast eating!

[@davoap1268]

​@@BryanFazekasThank you.

This is homemade wine. This is not a commercial winery but homemade. The hole has been there for over 100 years

[@fishstix4209]

@vincenzosplate Biltmore is "homemade" on an estate (non-commercial and only available through them)....they don't use a hole in the wall (right next to a gutter downspout and next to where someone might piss) that leads to a pit that looks like it's an outhouse that's never been washed....you could literally see the black mold...

[@fishstix4209]

@vincenzosplate if they are going to "show off" maybe clean the black mold from the pit and film from a direction that doesn't make it obvious that pit gets roof water and easy access to street waste/used by a bypasser as a quick toilet.....they have an estate for the Vinyard but make wine in a mold infested hole in the wall basement????
