My ancestors celebrated the vintage, which is the gathering of the grape harvest. For months, workers cared for the grapevine to produce a good harvest. When the grapes were picked, the whole community would come together to tread the grapes. They would cook food, drink wine, and make music to celebrate their hard work. A typical food served during these celebrations was artichokes cooked in white wine. The document then provides instructions for making artichokes in white wine style.
