"The Aesthetic Reason

 

When I see endless vineyards, without a single tree planted on the paths or near the headwaters, it reminds me of the gigantic factories where thousands of chickens fight for their brief survival before being killed and packed for the next market.

 

I call these industrial vineyards “a desert of grapevines”. These vineyards look forced, ultra-trained and disciplined. They give a feeling of the pressure of human manipulation, sometimes stronger when the winegrowers are more professional."
