Goodbye wine?

from The Florentine, 20th March 2008

Now the fraud involved not only politicians but also an old friend of ours: the wine.
A Tuscany's important wine producers, the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, was officialy indicted for allegedly blending indigenous greapes grown. Investigators allege that from 1999 to 2003 enologists used a higher percentage of grapes from southern Italy than is legally acceptable in some of the wines produced.
Even if the judgment has been postponed, this  case have stired up the public awarenes. Lamberto Frescobaldi, the managing director of his family's estates in Tuscany, said that their society "have done nothing wrong", supporting that they have collaborate with the investigators right from the start of investigations.
