I spent this year from mid September to mid December in China. Beside my October stage with CAAS I travelled for Wine Fairs and Wine Presentations to promote the wine fro my partner wineries,  which are already 5: "Salviano" from the Lago di Corbara "Scacciadiavoli" from Montefalco,  "Tili'  from Assisi, "Duca della Corgna" from Lago di Trasimeno and "Cantine Terribile"from Puglia.

For 2019/2020 I agreed with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science (CAAS) on a collaboratio of 40 days as a visiting Scientists. CAAS wants me to help them with publications, project proposals and particularly with pushing forward the ATS (Agricultural Technology Sharing) project.I had m y first assignment in October this year. I was happy to work again with my friend Prof Zhang Xuefu and his team.

I wrote about my plans at the beginning of this year.  One of this plans was to have a big summer party at the Buon Respiro. And this did happen! Many family and friends came on June 22. Next year it should be still bigger. Reserve the last Saturday in June to come to Umbria.
