January continued to be a crazy roller coaster ride. Going virtual with my son’s school only lasted a day. He returned the next day but was then out the following day (unexpected surgery due to his appendix bursting), and remained out for a week. He returned to school and then they went virtual the following two days. Mamma Mia… with all the back and forth and recovery time, I finally snuck out of the house for a moment! I spent a day at a winery in the volcanic area of Quarto; snow-capped mountains, ocean, and hill-side vineyards all in one panorama! It was a beautiful day but I still remember the constant, chilly breeze up on that mountain! I also remember the owner being so proud of growing everything that he sells or uses in his food; so proud that he showed us his garden, as well as the animals, where everything came. They served us breakfast when we arrived, took us on a tour, and then introduced us to their wines and delectable foods.

Carputo Winery is located in the most devoted area of viticulture in the Phlegraean, on the the hill of Viticella Quarto. They cultivate the grapes Falanghina and Piedirosso, from which they produce and bottle, baling homonyms wines that have received the coveted award in 1994 D.O.C. The Carputo does not aim at a high production quantitatively, but the strict and continuous quality control to which subjects its wines, guarantees a prominent place among the wine-making companies of Europe.
