On July 28 we were at the grand opening of the tasting location at Ampeleia, an excellent biodynamic winery close to Roccatederighi, in the Metalliferous Hills in Southern Tuscany (actually, ten minutes from our home base). We recently received a few shots, which we like to share. The photo credits go to Benny Leonberger (IG: @champagnjamin).

In the intertwining of music and territorial issues proposed by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere, there is a component which in Milano, Brussels, or at the MIT in Boston would be called “co-design”, leading to systematically connecting the situations we relate to in different ways, starting from characters around us.
In the melting pot represented by the Brezel Tour with the palla a 21/palla eh! Summer tournaments, with the new moon phase allowing to take night sky quality measurements, with the appreciation of the very low number of short-haired Vizslas currently living in Italy, and the spicy olive oil made by Aunt Eda, we have defined a “double mapperitivo” for Sunday, Aug. 20, in the Farma Valley, Southern Tuscany.
Jack O’Malley and some friends of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere will be present. Depending on the musical potential of the participants, there might be some notes in the air. Last but not least, we will have some bottles of Tre Cani Rossi 2022, a very good Sangiovese+Canaiolo blend produced by I Cipressi in Capannoli, a lesser known wine from a part of Tuscany which is currently emerging as a location for wine production (the Upper Valdera, close to Pisa).

The Brezel Tour continues on Saturday, August 19, bringing some of our “music and territory” combo in Magliano in Toscana, Southern Tuscany. At 6.30PM we will be with one of our duo line-ups, featuring Wolfgang Scheibe (one-string bass and agriculture) and Jack O’Malley (guitar, vocals, and environmental engineering) to provide a geomusical opening to the presentation of the CIRCOLARE community regeneration project. CIRCOLARE is an acronym for CIcloturismo per Rigenerare la COmunità Locale & Agricoltura REsponsabile.
This is a project structured into advanced systems for sustainable mobility out of the high tourist season. These systems are intertwined into community regeneration activities involving both local residents and tourists. The initial area of interest of the project covers the territories of Scansano, Magliano, Manciano, and Roccalbegna. The event is part of the Vinellando 2023 program.

A new event in the 2023 Brezel Tour, featuring a special line-up. In Pomarance you will find Wolfgang Scheibe and Jack O’Malley from the Jug Band Colline Metallifere, in what we call the “(bio)dynamic duo” formation, with a special guest: Crissi Mosselmann from Dizzy Bee, who just returned from their USA tour. We recently had the possibility of jamming with him during the German section of the Brezel tour (e.g. “I’m walkin'” at Krone on July 6, or this power funk tune from Dizzy Bee to get acquainted with Crissi’s energy). See you soon!

| Dottore non mi sento molto bene, sarà da un giorno oppure forse tre lo stomaco è preso in catene, faccio fatica a digerire un tè amico mio, mi parli della sua alimentazione quello che mangia, a pranzo, cena e pure a colazione se mette tutto in fila qualcosa di sospetto apparirà Dottore sa che forse lei ha ragione, non mangio bene ed è la verità io son frutto di una generazione, che del cibo non vede la qualità lei va al mercato, è sempre a cercare l’occasione ma con l’offerta oltre al risparmio c’è l’indigestione e quel che avanza lo reinveste in medicine in farmacia Dottore a questo punto l’ho capito, non lo prometto ma ci proverò con l’orto il sale il pane e il grano antico, un modo per cambiare io ce l’ho quel che le manca è fare il primo passo per uscire da quel sistema che ha contribuito a costruire via butti i piatti pronti, cominci a zappare e si vedrà | Doctor, I’m not feeling too well..it’s been one day, may be three My stomach feels in chains, I can hardly digest tea Dear friend, why don’t you tell me about you what your diet What you eat, for lunch, dinner, and breakfast if you connect the dots something suspicious is bound to show up Doctor, you know, maybe you are right, I don’t eat well, and that’s the truth I am the child of a generation that does not care about food quality You go to the market, always looking for the deal with the the offer, together with the discount you get and indigestion and whatever you save is spent at the pharmacy Doctor, at this point I got it, I don’t promise, but I will try With a garden, some salt and the ancient wheat, I do have a way to change What you are missing, is the first step to get out from the system that you contributed to build come on, trash the take-away food, start digging, and we will see |
After providing daily highlights during the mission, as a wrap-up we prefer to just add a few snapshots, together with the acknowledgements to those who made the tour possible: Huober Brezel, Alt Krone Hoheneck, Waldheim Backnang bei Vesna and the bowling friends, Tatti Stay and See, Format D, Azienda San Lorenzo, Sorgman X and our supporters with the Brezel Tour T-shirts.
We have recorded all of the events and we have extracted a few videos…if you go through the “News” section of our site, it’s all there.
