RIPARBELLA, Italy - Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany in Italy, a new vineyard is using the ancient Chinese art of feng shui to make its wine in harmony with nature - and give it an extra marketing zing. Employees select grapes in the winery of Caiarossa during the harvest on Oct 4 in Riparbella, Tuscany. [PhotoAgencies] We have created a feng shui cellar in order to retain a bond with nature, Solene Genot, who manages the Caiarossa vineyard with her husband, Dominique, said on a visit to the picturesque area in central Italy. The cellar is located in a place where the energy is highest - half way between the top of the hill and the bottom of the valley, she said. Even the colors of the building - red on the outside and yellow on the inside - are the colors of nature, the sun and the earth. Caiarossa is in the village of Riparbella in a region called Val di Cecina close to the Mediterranean Sea and the historic port of Livorno. It was bought in 2004 by Dutch businessman Eric Albada Jelgersma, who also owns two vineyards in the Bordeaux wine region in southwest France. In its marketing literature, the wine company talks about the luxury of Mother Nature, which man has helped to produce. The inspiration for the winery comes from geo-biological architecture and Oriental Feng Shui discipline, it says. The vines are spread out over 16 hectares and annual production is around 70,000 bottles, with 70 percent going for exports, Dominique Genot said. Its a young vineyard, its still expanding, he said. We are trying to make the most natural wine possible. We dont use any tannin or enzymes. We dont use chemical products, not even weed killer, and we work with manual, natural methods, not mechanical ones, he added. We wanted a wine that is an expression of the territory. I think that this could be the future for independent vineyards, while larger companies that cover hundreds of hectares would have difficulty implementing it, he added. The cellar is on three levels, with a conveyor bringing in the grapes. Feng shui is used in our case so that we feel as good as possible when we work in the cellar. It has large spaces, large volumes and a lot of natural light, he said. His wife added: Its true that technically the large windows in the cellar are not practical since it is cold in winter and hot in summer. But the light brings a positive energy.

Security officials inspect the site of an earlier suicide attack in Mingora. At least 10 Al-Qaeda-linked militants were killed Friday in a suspected US missile strike on a tribal area in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border. [Agencies] It was the latest in a string of nearly 20 suspected strikes by pilotless US drones since the beginning of September but the first since Tuesdays US presidential election. Pakistan objects to the strikes as not only a violation of its sovereignty but counter-productive to its efforts to tackle militants behind surging violence in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. It happened close to the border. We have reports of 10 dead but it will take time to get more information, said a military officer. US forces have stepped up attacks on militants in Pakistan in response to concern about worsening security in Afghanistan. Scores of people have been killed in missile strikes and a September 3 cross-border commando raid, but no top al Qaeda or Taliban leaders have been reported to have died. Nuclear-armed US ally Pakistan is also battling militants on its side of the border but says cross-border US strikes undermine efforts to isolate the militants and rally public opinion behind the unpopular campaign against them. The United States has shrugged off Pakistani protests. It says the attacks are needed to protect US troops in Afghanistan and kill Taliban and al Qaeda militants who threaten them. Pakistan is hoping the new US administration will be more sensitive to its concerns. ' ' '
