First threshing of the ancient Scorzonera wheat variety

At the end of June, about 15 days earlier than usual, we harvested the first wheat planted in the lands of the Cittadella.

About four hectares of an ancient variety of durum wheat, Scorzonera, thus called for the dark colour of the ears, meaning it can soak up all the power of the sun.
