description: Francesca Colombini has lived, and still lives, 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.
