Vinum Non Habent

This wine represents the whole production of the harvest 2023. It is produced from a tiny amount of Vernaccia di San Gimignano grapes we harvested after an year of fight in vineyard. This is so special we used this name directly from John 2:3.

Iohannes. 2:1,10
Et die tertio nuptiae factae sunt in Cana Galilaeae, et erat mater Iesu ibi; vocatus est autem et Iesus et discipuli eius ad nuptias. Et deficiente vino, dicit mater Iesu ad eum: “ Vinum non habent ”.


Et dicit ei Iesus: “ Quid mihi et tibi, mulier? Nondum venit hora mea ”. Dicit mater eius ministris: “ Quodcumque dixerit vobis, facite ”.
Erant autem ibi lapideae hydriae sex positae secundum purificationem Iudaeorum, capientes singulae metretas binas vel ternas. Dicit eis Iesus: “ Implete hydrias aqua ”. Et impleverunt eas usque ad summum. Et dicit eis: “ Haurite nunc et ferte architriclino ”. Illi autem tulerunt. Ut autem gustavit architriclinus aquam vinum factam et non sciebat unde esset, ministri autem sciebant, qui haurierant aquam, vocat sponsum architriclinus et dicit ei: “ Omnis homo primum bonum vinum ponit et, cum inebriati fuerint, id quod deterius est; tu servasti bonum vinum usque adhuc ”.

John 2:1,10
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

 

It is almost a miracle we were able to bottle this wine. As John says; we kept the good wine until the end.
