A book like a bottle of wine, custodian of all stages in the nineteen surviving autochthonous wines found in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, rich once upon a time with hundreds of species of vine.The volume is made of the steel of the vats in which the must ferments into the cork of paper with labels described in 20 languages, including braille, stuckto the external plastic protective covering,works of the great Swiss artist John Armleder and painted in mustbased ink, which gives the words' origins a noble colouring perfumed and humoured by deep cellars. This is a strange book, one to be leafed through. Itopens rotating and reveals the contents, which one can keep closed like a wine to be added to one's collection, or taste it page by page setting the plastic film which pro-tects the steel lamina apart a real and fitting mul-tiple of art on which John Armleder has impressed the book's title with his stamp and his signature anddue to its substance and tactility they remain on the film which covers the grapes containing the sap. The volume is a limited edition. The profit made from the book's sales will be given to charity.
