red wine lees (dregs or sludge) Italy
discarded lees (sludge) from the bottom of red wine bottle, thrown onto fields of a southern Italian smallholding. Lees are leftover yeast particles from autolysis, which is the self-destruction of yeast cells by enzymes created from fermentation. This small amount of lees has been left to compost into the soil on a terrace of a small household farm in Campania
