1. Toskánské kopce

   Nový život ve starém kraji

   • Ferenc Máté

   Po letech hektického života v severní Americe a cestování po celém světě opustili malířka Candace a spisovatel Ferenc Mátéovi New York a zamířili do Toskánska, za jeho středověkými městečky a idylickou venkovskou krajinou. Právě tady se konečně rozhodli usadit. Italsky neuměli skoro vůbec a na nalezení svého vysněného domu měli pouhé čtyři týdny. Ferenc Máté nyní žije v Toskánsku natrvalo, se svou ženou zrekonstruoval rozpadlý klášter z 13. století a společně provozují dnes již světoznámé vinařství Máté. Svěží, poutavé vzpomínky překypující košatou toskánskou senzualitou a fascinací krajinou, v níž se mísí etruská minulost a středověk s moderní dobou, se staly světovým bestsellerem. Česky již vyšla jeho kniha Toskánská vinice (ENO/Maxdorf 2012).

   In this intimate and uproarious story, two daring New Yorkers convert an ancient, abandoned farm into a world-renowned winery. Finding your dream house with a vineyard in Tuscany is like searching the woods for porcini a labor of love. Such feats require patience, discernment, resolve, and an indestructible sense of humor. The Mátés’ future home and wine estate lies amid breathtaking scenery in a community brimming with warmth. In Italy’s most prestigious wine zone, Montalcino, they restore a thirteenth-century friary nestled on two hills within sixty acres of forest, olives, and potential vineyards. Here they plant fifteen acres of vines, build the winery, and learn from their famous vintner neighbors, like Angelo Gaja, the secrets of how to grow the best grapes and make superb wines. Within the first years, the Máté wines receive international acclaim. This highly entertaining tale of how two dreamers struggle and thrive in idyllic Tuscany will enrich the lives of travelers and wine lovers alike.

3. The Wisdom of Tuscany: Simplicity, Security & the Good Life - Making the Tuscan Lifestyle Your Own

   • Mate Ferenc

   With our world so storm-tossed and rudderless, this might just be the book for our times. Sun-drenched Tuscany is synonymous with the ideal life. But it didn't happen by chance. Since the Etruscans, the Tuscans have treated their breathtaking countryside with sagacious respect and, in hamlets and hill towns, have built a culture of simplicity, beauty, neighborliness, good food, and a love of daily life. Ferenc Máté, a Tuscan resident for twenty years, explores this idyllic existence. He finds Tuscans brimming with creative practicality, down-home humor, and relentless optimism. Blended with their passion for work and independence, they have achieved a haven of economic stability, physical and emotional security, and a fortifying sense of belonging. From their organic gardens to their mouthwatering cuisine, from high-quality, craftsmen-made products and family-run businesses to the joys centered in human contact, Tuscans live a healthy, emotionally rich life. Máté—engaging, funny, and insightful—shows us how to live like Tuscans.
