Azienda Agricola Villa Job – Pozzuolo del Friuli (Udine)
“My name is Alessandro Job, I 30 years and I love to dream and tell the life and my emotions through wine. This is who I am, in its pure essence and no frills. Why wine? Because some things are hard to explain only with words ...”
I met Alessandro initially on the web, then the person in Milan Food & Wine Festival 2012, and then, I like it, on the field", when I and Michelangelo Sharp friend I went to see on the farm, or better in villa, Villa Job.
His farm is located in a historic house built in 1637 and purchased by Gregory Job in 1910. passionate by the history which I enjoyed the nicely decorated ceilings, the eighteenth-century statues placed in the garden, but above the wine cellar with a barrel vault with “signs” that the eye is able to see.
Drinking wine in the historic environment is very impressive, especially for a person like me that in these atmospheres travels with the mind.
Sei ettari di vigneto in cui ho passeggiato insieme ad Alessandro mentre lo ascoltavo raccontare le sue scelte di vita. Un percorso che ha iniziato giovanissimo nel 1985, and that has inextricably tied to the land and natural farming.
At dusk we moved inside dedicating ourselves to the tasting of its wines. I write often, and here I repeat myself, I am "woman red texture and character," and I hardly deny. Of course with all due respect for the whites; a good example is his Risic biological Blanc 2010 IGT which in Friulian means white grape, un blend di Chardonnay e Sauvignon.
During the tasting, my attention is directed in particular towards Serious, an organic red wine without sulfites born from the desire of Alexander to produce a natural wine earthbound, a simple but wine… Serious.
This to me is the wine that grape, a wine that brings me back to earth, a peasant wine ...
