Spittoon: We Spit So You Can Swallow
It all starts off a bit pretentious-like, all the time expecting some Hollywood A-lister to spout some meaningless rubbish about a perfume… and for all I know the initial voice over is saying exactly that! But this video, A Visual Ode to Wine, sure beats the tannins out of most corporate wine videos full of echoes, to me at least, of dark fairy tales.

I am writing to you because we have just realized a visual ode to wine. Specifically, it deals with the Aglianico wine, produced in Basilicata (Southern Italy). It has been made for an on-line competition to promote the area. The video tries to explain the story that each bottle of wine can contain: people, landscapes, sun, places, taste and emotions.

Absolutely incredible video!
Hi Spittoon!
I’m sorry it seemed to be “a bit pretentious-like”…didn’t want to give you that sensation! The initial voice over reads a poetry that tries to describe the light and the smells of the countryside in October.
Happy you shared our video, I am very thankful for that!
Marianna
PS: @IshitaUnblogged I’m glad you like it!
Fabulous Marianna… despite the opening initial impression (I don’t speak Italian so no idea what is being said) I love the video!
Oh it makes me so happy! I know the poetry in Italian my be misunderstood and, at the same time, represent and obstacle for appreciating the video content to all those people that do not speak Italian…but I hope that scenes and notes combined together could work as universal language to spread the value of winemaking processes!
So I promise to send you as soon as possible a translation of the poetry…It will loose its linguistic beauty but at least you will understand its meaning!
thanks, again!
