Carmine Ametrano is one of the few remaining farmers practicing traditional winemaking on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius in southern Italy. He uses techniques that go back to the ancient civilization of Pompeii. By following Carmine through the course of a year’s harvest, this documentary explores the inherent hard work and beauty of his winemaking.
