【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2010年4月16日意大利維羅納訊】─ 慈幼會克雷米森酒莊的重開計劃，現正推行得如火如荼。在維羅納舉行的酒展，為意大利重要的葡萄種植及釀酒展覽，這為以色列人和巴力斯坦人相互對話締造了好時機，同時亦提供一些本地葡萄品種研究的機會，當中一些品種會在四月十日於維羅納的酒展中展示。這包括Dabouqy 2009、Hamdany-Jandaly 2009及白冷之星2009。在翁布里亞展館中的展覽中，參觀者包括數名專家及其他一些賓客。

慈幼會士得到國際義工關注發展組織（VIS）的協助，數年間為一些當地葡萄酒進行了評選實驗工作。他們尤其對Hamdàni-Jàndali、Daboùki及Bàladi進行專門研究。來自意大利特倫托Hebron大學及S. Michele 農業學院的Andrea Bonini和Roberto Paglierini，協調進行這項研究。

葡萄酒為希伯來及基督宗教的重要標記，象徵以色列人及巴力斯坦人溝通的願望。事實上，葡萄園被以色列人及巴力斯坦人分割為兩部份，但所釀製的葡萄酒都能冠以克雷米森的標籤。釀酒業佔本地農業很大的比重，並扮演重要的角色，促成長久相互衝突的民族展開對話。

這項計劃亦旨在提供本地就業及培訓服務，受惠者包括伊斯蘭教信徒。為能在技術上達至這一點，我們期望兩名年輕的阿拉伯基督徒，在經過在Adige的 S. Michele大學三年培育後，能投身這項計劃中。

世界享負盛名的葡萄酒生產商暨計劃協作人 Riccardo Cotarella 表示：「作為技術人員，我時刻享受為當地生產，自己及他人尚未認識的一些葡萄酒，進行酒質研究工作。同時我們不能忘記，葡萄酒在這裡就是歷史、熱忱和宗教。因此，在這兩個因素結合下，促成了我們全情投入這項計劃。」

At Vinitaly Cremisan wine is a sign of unity

(ANS – Italy – Verona, 16 April 2010 ) –Work continues on the plan to get the Wine Cellar of the Salesians in Cremisan operating again. In addition to being an attempt at dialogue between the  Israelis and the Palestinians, there is also a study going on of some types of local grapes some of which were presented at Verona on 10 April, in the context of the “Vinitaly” an important  Italian exhibition of vine-growing and wine-making. These were the “Dabouqy 2009”, the “Hamdany-Jandaly 2009” and the “Star of Bethlehem 2009”. At the presentation held in the Umbria Region pavilion were several experts and other guests.

Thanks to the collaboration of the International Voluntary Service for Development (VIS), for a number of years the Salesians have been conducting an experimental programme for the assessment of the local vines. In particular they have concentrated on those known as Hamdàni-Jàndali, Daboùki and Bàladi. This study was undertaken in collaboration with Andrea Bonini, and Roberto Paglierini  from the University of Hebron and the S. Michele Agrarian Institute in Adige di Trento, Italy.

Wine, an important symbol for the Hebrew and the Christian religion represents an attempt at dialogue between Israelis and  the Palestinians. In fact the vine-yards are cut in two between Palestine and Israel, but are able to produce various qualities of wine with one label: Cremisan. The local agriculture in which winemaking constitutes an important source of work could play its part in the process of dialogue  in the current long-lasting conflict.

The project also aimed at providing local employment and training, would also include Muslims. To manage the concern from a technical point of view it is hoped to use two young Arab Christians after three years training at the University of S. Michele in the `Adige. 

Riccardo Cotarella, a wine maker of world-wide repute  and a collaborator in the project s has said: “As a technical person I always find it very enjoyable to study the performance of vines in localities, the qualities of which were previously unknown to me and to others. At the same time we cannot forget that there the vine is history, passion, religion. So just putting together these two factors is a reason for someone like me to become passionately involved.”
