Some anecdotes

Incisione di un borgo toscano su una collina

Ludovico the Moor gave Leonardo sixteen perches of vineyard in the heart of Milan as a gift to honour the creation of The Last Supper

A gift to which Leonardo remained profoundly attached, so much so that he preserved its ownership over the years and mentioned it in his will.

La lettera di Leonardo al suo fattore, su un foglio di pergamena Lo schizzo di Leonardo di una piccola botte

In a 1515 letter to his steward, Leonardo left precise instructions on the cultivation of grapes and the transformation of wine.

Observations on the quality of grapes and winemaking techniques that reveal how wine was for him a matter of study and experimentation.

In the Codex Atlanticus Leonardo drew a small barrel that anticipates, in shape and proportions, the modern barrique.

Another example of his attention to tools, processes and solutions capable of improving the conservation and quality of wine.
