INTERIOR VOICES ......... ------------- But do your voices say what mine say? ... Do they stay on their knees where they are used to being? ... Or do they go out and make themselves heard? .... Are they cold? ... Difficult to treat? .... Demanding ???? ... Or warm, easygoing, encouraging and unusual? .... They want and demand more ... They cannot distinguish reality from fantasy ..... I always listen to the voices in my head ... They whisper names .. people ... memories .... events ... night creatures .... dinners and appointments ... They bring me encounters again ... experiences and sweet emotions ... chills ... passions and contacts ... I always listen to the voices in my head ... Yours say what they say to me? .... Everyone is listening to them .... are you listening to them? .... I am ... they tell me to open a BARBERA Vigna San Lorenzo 2000 by Bartolo MASCARELLO #bartolomascarello His daughter Maria Teresa leads a historic cellar with great determination with an almost obsessive attention to detail, with a style never sold off to fashion. Passing unscathed through the modernist phase of barrique and generational change, it offers classic wines of great depth and personality. Bartolo was undoubtedly one of the greatest and most sensitive men of wine in our country, linked to his land, tradition and vintages. This Barbera is still striking for its fruit evolved into plum, kirsch, morello cherry, then ash, graphite, earth, foxy and delicate spices. On the palate it is a harmonious and persuasive wine .... mineral, a marked acidity and an elegant tannin well inserted in alcohol and glycerine make it a drink of the soul ... immense ... pure and elegant ... refined and deep. Bartolo's voice tells me to put on Alice In Chains with "Voices" ...... https://youtu.be/7YDPNl7PeUU
