EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historical moment in winemaking history. Taken by an Italian photographer in the 20th century, it showcases an exhibit at the Turin International Exhibition in Italy, 1911. The image depicts monks pressing Champagne grapes back in 1710. In this scene, we see a group of monks diligently working together to extract the precious juice from the grapes. They stand around large baskets filled with ripe fruit, using their hands and feet to press down on the grapes and release their juices. This traditional method of grape pressing was common during that era. The photo offers a glimpse into the wine industry of the 18th century, showcasing both French and Italian influences. The presence of Moet & Chandon champagne bottles suggests that these monks were involved in producing sparkling wines. Displayed as a postcard at the exhibition, this photograph provides insight into not only winemaking techniques but also cultural exchanges between countries during that time period. It serves as a testament to how viticulture has evolved over centuries while still maintaining its roots in tradition. Preserved within a private collection today, this image is not just an artistic representation but also an important historical document capturing a significant moment in wine history.
