As autumn approaches, we’re keeping an eye on the ripening grapes while preparing to bottle the remainder of the 2019 vintage, and thus make room in the cellar for the new wines to come. The general buzz on the grapevine (pun intended!) is that this vintage will be a bit ear- lier than usual, and that vineyard yields will be less than average. So much comes down to the last month or so of ripening in the vineyard, and we’re just entering that time as this goes to print. Fingers crossed, for an excellent, and “uneventful” harvest! With gratitude and appreciation for our wine club friends, all of us at Amphora Winery wish you a wonderful autumn, and CHEERS! Our 2015 Aglianico (pronounced ah-YAH-nee-koh) was our second vintage to spend time aging in our terracotta amphorae, and the influence of the clay lends an old-world profile to this wine: bracing yet gentle tannins, a clean minerality, and subtle red fruit notes. The character of this varietal works well with the clay influence, and makes for a food-friendly wine. This one will age elegantly for years, and if you plan to enjoy it in the short-term, be sure to decant it. Delightful pairings include cacio e pepe, and grill roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic.

The first is the publication of our fiftieth newsletter! We decided to publish a newsletter to provide you with details of wines we have on offer and also to provide carefully researched information on topics related to wine in general and natural wine in particular. We have enjoyed creating these newsletters and have been delighted with the very positive feedback we have received. The second milestone is the arrival of our first full container load of wine. Up until now we have been sharing refrigerated containers with other importers, but two weeks ago a refrigerated container crammed with 10,000 bottles of wine was delivered to our warehouse. This month we are able to offer some special packs from the wines that arrived. We have already held industry tastings of the wines in Melbourne and Sydney and will be conducting tastings in other cities soon. This month we have a pack of six interesting and delicious rosé wines to herald the arrival of warmer weather. We have long been fans of the Cabernet Franc grape variety and since there are so many different wines in the container made from this grape we have included a pack that highlights the different styles of wine and different area of the Loire Valley, the spiritual home of this grape.

The essential historical background and the key developments in the From history of wine through the ages are outlined in this compact, engag- ing, easy-to-read and well-illustrated text, with lists of top vintages. For thousands of years wine mixed with water was the safe drink. It was a key ingredient of medications. The antiseptic properties of the N e o l i t h i c T i m e s alcohol it contains saved lives. Wine was associated with many reli- gious rituals, some of which survive today.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today.

From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
