Dalliendorf

Dalliendorf is a small village in the north-eastern part of Germany.
About 150 people are living there.
Life is marked by agriculture, it was always like this.
I lived in this village for ten years, but its people continued to be strangers to me.
One day I left the place to move to a big town.
Suddenly I realised, that people I left, meant more to me than I knew before.
But I couldn't imagine to return.
The dictance to the village made it possible to take pictures of people and their living space.
During this time it was like I said goodbye to them.

The wine of saints (vin santo) is a specialty of the Italian wine culture and many provinces produce their own version of this delectable libation. Tuscany, Umbria, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia are best known and reputed vin santo producing provinces.
In October to November ripe white grapes (In Tuscany Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia and Canaiolo are most popular followed by Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot in the Pomino property of Frescobaldi; in Veneto Garganega and Gambellara are used; elsewhere local white grapes are preferred) are hand picked, rotten grapes removed and the bunches are hung from the rafter of vinsantaie, a room with many windows for vigorous air circulation.
Once the grapes have dried sufficiently which may last well into January, they are pressed and the juice is poured into caratelli (small chestnut barrels) for fermentation. After the initial fermentation the wine is racked, the caratelli sealed, and placed under the roof of the winery. Here the wine is subjected to diurnal and seasonal temperature changes, which impart a unique taste and texture to the wine.
Vin santo are generally sweet but some wineries produce off dry or dry versions. All are viscous in texture, high in alcohol, smooth and intensely flavoured.
Italians like to enjoy vin santo with a biscotti others prefer it with fresh seasonal fruits, and a few with their favourite pastry...

Or...

Vin Santo prunes:
150ml water
150g castor sugar
25ml Vin Santo
250g pitted prunes

In a heavy saucepan over low heat, mix water and sugar together until sugar is dissolved.
Increase heat to high and bring to the boil without stirring. Remove from heat, add Vin Santo and stir through. Add pitted prunes and soak them in this syrup for about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving syrup.
