Nature always finds a way to show us the way. Within it, the vines and their history, their life cycles and also the shocks they have suffered, have, in their own way, a certain capacity to guide us. 
The European vineyard was going through a golden age in the mid-19th century when phylloxera was first recorded in 1863. Coming from North America, its first cruel impact was in Provence. Little by little, with unusual force, it spread to the rest of France and Europe.
A new reality was created at that time. A new way of living and a new framework of understanding were defined. The importance of small things, such as the concept of generosity, sharing and growing as a group and not as an isolated individual, was returned to the grass roots.
Today, the return to the essential does not cease, in viticulture and gastronomy, to pass through people. It is those who insist, despite the adverse times, that will enable these two sectors to emerge from the current health crisis with scars, but with new strengths.
