Task 4. Reproduce the text about Barone Ricasoli and Brolio Castle.
According to Family Business, the leading American magazine that deals with the world classification of family businesses, Barone Ricasoli is the fourth longest-lived company in the world and the second in the wine sector. Barone Ricasoli is therefore the oldest winery in Italy. The name Ricasoli has been linked to wine since 1141, when Brolio Castle passed into the hands of the Ricasoli family.
After centuries defending the lands and signorial feuds, the Ricasolis dedicated themselves to the development of agriculture and vineyard. Already in the 1600s documents report the first exports to Amsterdam and England, whereas at the start of the 1900s Brolio wines were known and were exported all over the world: China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Guatemala, Costa Rica and the then British African colonies.
The first stones of Brolio Castle dates back to the middle ages. The castle passed into the hands of the Ricasoli family thanks to an exchange of lands in 1141. Brolio, on the border between the territories of Siena and Florence, soon became the stage for all the disputes of the period, representing the Florentine bulwark against the fearsome Siena. Through the centuries the castle has suffered attacks and destruction in numerous historical battles, from Aragonese and Spanish attacks during the fifteenth century, to disputes in the seventeenth century right through to bombings and artillery attacks during the Second World War.

The castle has been rebuilt and modified several times and today it bears marks of the different eras: from the fortified medieval bastions to the Romanesque and neo-Gothic additions and the unique nineteenth century Tuscan details.
The castle is surrounded by 240 hectares of vineyards, forming part of the farm’s lands, making it the largest in the Chianti Classico area: 1,200 hectares in the communes of Gaiole and Castelnuovo Berardenga – valleys, hills, woods of oak and chestnut trees, 26 hectares of olive groves, all enjoying the beauty and the wide variety of soils and climate in this central Chianti area. The nearby avant-garde cellars are where we undertake the same pursuit of excellence today that drove Bettino Ricasoli to invent the Chianti formula in 1872.
Task 12. Do research. Describe different products Russian and overseas companies have been producing for a certain period of time. Say when and where they started the production of these products; if they have ever exhibited their products at international events; if their sales have increased or dropped for their history.
