They have spent the time since showing that it is indeed possible to produce excellent wines at Il Palagio. So they abandoned Il Palagio and upped sticks with their tails between their legs, leaving the winery to go to ruin? Not a bit of it. “I saw that someone was emptying their glass into a flower bed,” Sting recently told Corriere della Sera’s Sette magazine. When did they realise what had happened? After they served wine from the estate to some guests. Anyway, it was so delicious that the Stings bought Il Palagio, vineyards and all. The duke had served a cheeky barolo instead. The problem was that the wine wasn’t from Il Palagio, or even Tuscany. In 1997, Sting and Trudie bought an estate south of Florence in Tuscany called Il Palagio, after the owner – Duke Simone Vincenzo Velluti Zati di San Clemente – gave them a glass of wine to try. Message in a Bottle? Actually, he and his wife, Trudie Styler, do produce a spumante called Message in a Bottle, but the one we’re talking about today would perhaps be better named Mess in a Bottle.
Is Sting’s called Regatta de Blanc de Blancs ? No.
But yeah, there comes a time in life when many an old rocker’s thoughts turn to wine. Sir Cliff has got his vineyard in Portugal, Sir Bob Geldof is heavily invested in one, in Ethiopia obvs even AC/DC formed a relationship with an Aussie winery to make their own brand of wine …īacchus in Black? If only they had thought of it. Well, wine anyway.ĭon’t tell me, Sting – musician, singer, songwriter, bassist, actor, activist, tantric sexer – is now a winemaker, as well? They are all at it. No way, is Sting really in his 70th year? Yes, but like a fine wine … Funnily enough, that’s what we’re talking about.
