最近聞いた中で最も古い曲と言えば、


これ

ルネッサンス後期のリュート奏者John Dowlandの曲集。
今から400年位前の曲集。

演奏しているのはお写真の(ポリスの)スティングです。

スティング、熱帯雨林の保護活動なども積極的に行っていますが、こちらはその系統の活動の流れでしょうか。

Sting is to produce 30.000 bottles of Chianti a year from his 300-hectare estate in Tuscany.
スティングは、イタリアはトスカーナ州に所有する300haの農園で、年間30,000本のキャンティを生産する。



という文章で始まる記事がその名もずばり、 http://www.stingus.net/ に掲載されています。

御本尊

ちょっと長いので、原文は下記を読んでいただくこととして、発売されるのは今年の9月。2007年のサンジョベーゼで既に仕込まれているそうです。
名前は秘密。

味わいは、、、、農園の管理人さんは不思議な表現をしています。
"rock music wine" with "a bit of swing and a bit of international pop thanks to the addition of Cabernet and Merlot grapes".
ロックミュージックワイン!だけど、カベルネやメルロー種を加えることで、スウィングやインターナショナル・ポップ調の風味もある、、、、そうです。


うーん、、、、、、わからん。


(以下原文)
Sting made the announcement at a public meeting called at Figline Valdarno, south of Florence, to "defend Tuscan agriculture and bio-diversity".

"Since January I have been round the world one and a half times," he told the meeting. "When I get back here I take a deep breath and say to myself – I'm home".

Sting, dressed in a grey jacket and T-shirt and sporting a full beard, said that from the terrace of his 16th-century villa, Il Palagio, which he bought in 1997, he could see the sun setting behind the Appenines – "a masterpiece" of nature.

He said that he would market two kinds of wine: a Chianti DOC and a Tuscan red based on the Sangiovese grape.

The brand names remain a closely guarded secret.

However Paolo Rossi, the estate manager, said that the "Sting wine" had been made two years ago, and the first bottles of the 2007 vintage would be on the market in September.

It would amount to "rock music wine" with "a bit of swing and a bit of international pop thanks to the addition of Cabernet and Merlot grapes".

Riccardo Nocentini, the mayor of Figline Valdarno, which is close to Sting's estate and villa, said that the singer was not just a "welcome guest" in the region but also a serious farmer.

Together with his wife, Trudie Styler, Sting markets "Il Palagio Sumner Family" honey and olive oil from his estate through Harrods in London and on the internet.

Sting said that his concern for the environment, which initially took the form of a campaign to save the Amazon rainforest, had spread to the defence of rural Tuscany. "I always use traditional methods – no pesticides," he said. He bought the vineyards and woods adjoining his villa grounds in 2002, and employs 15 estate workers as well as seasonal labour.

A percentage of all profits from the sales goes to the environmental causes the couple support, such as the Soil Association, which promotes organic food and farming in Britain, and the Rainforest Foundation, which they helped to found in 1989.

Italian fans who attended the meeting said that they would buy the new wine the moment it appeared. "We have always bought Sting's honey and oil," Giovanni Pollastri and Lidia Di Corato told Corriere della Sera. "In fact with all the money we have spent supporting his agricultural produce we deserve a free bottle."
