  • Yield Components and Fruit Composition of Five Barbera Grapevine Selections in the San Joaquin Valley, California
    Research Note Yield Components and Fruit Composition of Five Barbera Grapevine Selections in the San Joaquin Valley, California Matthew W. Fidelibus,1* L. Peter Christensen,1 Deborah A. Golino,2 Nancy L. Sweet,2 and Kimberley A. Cathline1 Abstract: Barbera grapevine (Vitis vinifera) selections from Foundation Plant Services (FPS), University of California, Davis, were evaluated in Parlier, Fresno County, California. Green potted plants of Barbera, FPS selections 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06, were planted in the summer of 2000, and fruit yield and quality were assessed annually between 2003 and 2006. Selection 02 performed similarly to several other selections with respect to fruit composition and yield, but its berries were 10 to 25% heavier than the others. Large berries made the clusters of FPS 02 excessively compact; the incidence of sour rot was sometimes two to three times higher for FPS 02 than for other selections. Selections 03 and 05 originated from the same mother vine and performed identically. Their fruit composition was similar to several other selections, but they had the highest, or among the highest, yield of the selections tested and were moderately susceptible to sour rot. Selection 04 was generally similar to selections 03 and 05 except that 04 had lower yields in two of the four years tested. Selection 06 was distinctive in that it was generally the earliest ripening, had the smallest berries, the lowest yields, the lowest yield:pruning weight ratios, and was the least susceptible to sour rot. Key words: clones, fruit quality, germplasm, grapes, Vitis vinifera L. Barbera is the second most widely planted red winegrape programs in Europe where evaluation is supported with in Italy, and its tendency to produce good yields of fruit public funds.

  • Blissful Red
    Estate Wines from Mendocino County Blissful Red THE BLISS STORY In the late 1930s, our Grandfather, Irv Bliss, first visited Mendocino County and spotted a picturesque ranch among the rolling hills and unspoiled land. Years later, when Irv learned of a Mendocino property for sale, he gathered all his savings and placed a bid—sight unseen. As fate would have it, the plot Irv purchased was the original 450-acre estate that had captivated his imagination years before. Seventy years later, we still carry Irv’s love for the land through our third generation of family farmers. We celebrate Irv’s legacy by showcasing the rich fruit we grow on our property and putting our own Bliss into every bottle of wine we produce. TASTING NOTES Our perennial “pizza/pasta wine” has become ‘Blissful Red’: starring We proudly introduce our Primitivo, Zinfandel, and Sangiovese with Barbera, Merlot, Cab, and Syrah Bliss Family Vineyards Blissful Red. for additional structure.

  • Barbera Linsteadt Vineyard Amador County
    2014 Barbera Linsteadt Vineyard amador county Among the pioneers who introduced Sangiovese to the New World, the Gullett family is renowned for making “California’s Best Sangiovese.” In 1985, they set out with the singular goal of making Vino Noceto California’s premiere Sangiovese producer. From just three producing acres and 110 cases in their inaugural 1990 vintage, they now farm over 25 acres and produce 10,000 cases per year, including ten different Sangioveses, a frizzante Moscato, an old vine Zinfandel, Barbera, and Pinot Grigio. Barbera, the third-most planted red grape in Italy, is one of California’s most up-and-coming grape varietals. The Linsteadt Barbera is known as a food-friendly and approachable wine. The wine is full-bodied with good acid and structure, soft, silky tanins, and a long finish. Vineyards The Linsteadt Vineyard, located in the Shenandoah Valley, CA, was planted in 1973 by Don and MaryLou Linsteadt. The property is 34 acres in total, planted with Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Grenache, and of course, Barbera. After ripping out some older Zinfandel vines, the plot was replanted in the Clone 6 of Barbera, known for producing a more full-bodied, rustic, old- world Barbera. Vino Noceto receives these plantings for our Barbera. Winemaking The fruit was cold soaked for 1 to 2 days followed by fermentation for 15 days at 64°-78° Fahrenheit in submerged cap fermentation stainless steel tanks which favor a fruit-forward, gentle extraction of flavors. Aged 22 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. the Wine Harvested Sept 19, 2014 The 2014 Linsteadt Barbera displays bright aromas of blueberry and raspberry, with a touch pH 3.63 of earth, spice and vanilla.

  • ENOGLAM Lombardy-Veneto, Italy
    ENOGLAM Lombardy-Veneto, Italy Grappa and Brandy are the most traditional of Italian spirits and represent a time- honoured custom of sharing time together after a meal with a digestif in hand. Grappa is obtained by distilling the "pomace" (or "leftovers") from the winemaking process, while Brandy is created by distilling wine. In its original version Grappa used to be clear and very strong, but in the last few years Italian distillers have moved to a more elegant and complex concept of the spirit through extended maturation in oak. In 2010 Marcello Bruschetti (owner of Enoglam) and Luciano Brotto (distiller) met and together they decided to take one step further in order to let the concept of Products Grappa evolve even further in terms of elegance and complexity. They wanted Grappa to sit at the same table as the most exclusive and famous brown spirits Dwine Brandy produced all over the world. The "Enoglam" project (which includes two brands: EVO EVO Grappa Riserva and OdeV) experimented with the use of native woods - such as Cherry, Chestnut, FUMO Grappa Riserva Beech - for longer maturation periods before bottling, and also with unusual procedures like the smoking of the pomace before distillation. The intent was to develop a spirit with a unique, strong, international personality. Today we still define these spirits as "Grappa" and "Brandy", but such definitions are far from describing their roundness, complexity, and elegance. We should probably start calling these spirits simply "EVO", making it a synonym of Italian Style in the spirits' world. "My meeting with Luciano Brotto changed my life.

Soil is a somewhat sandy well drained soil, cool windy environment. The vines are trellised along a vertical shoot position system. Winemaking Notes This Estate Rosé was a saignée of both the Sangiovese and Barbera. Saignée means that the wine was hand picked for a red program and the bleed off from the sorting table was taken and treated like a white wine with a cold settling and a long cold fermentation. The juice was racked and fermented in a stainless steel tank. After a long cool fermentation to preserve aromas, the wine was racked and held cold until it could be finished for an early bottling to maintain freshness and liveliness.
