  • Primum Franciacorta Brut DOCG- Winebow
    Primum Franciacorta Brut DOCG NV W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N La Valle is an idiosyncratic and leading Franciacorta estate founded in 1990. La Valle’s philosophy is to harvest fully ripe grapes and to avoid barrels, malo-lactic, and high dosage in order to preserve their flavors. The soil at La Valle is ancient and the goal is to express their venerable terroir. The vineyards of La Valle are situated in Rodengo Saiano where glaciers cut deep into the earth leaving morainic soils that contain a high concentration of fossils. The vineyards lie just 2 kilometers from Lake Iseo which helps to preserve freshness while the grapes reach full physiological ripeness. “Primum” Franciacorta Brut is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero and is the foundation of the La Valle line. The wine is vinified in stainless-steel tanks, sees no malolactic, and spends 24 months on the lees. “Primum” receives a low dosage of 4.5-5 g/l at the time of disgorgement. T A S T I N G N O T E S “Primum” is the classic offering from La Valle. The wine balances the richness and fullness that is typical of Franciacorta with the refinement and mineral expression that is the signature of La Valle. “Primum” is a strong and decisive Franciacorta Brut with an elegant delivery, unexpected complexity, and is a clear expression of terroir. F O O D P A I R I N G Because “Primum” Franciacorta Brut is a somewhat richer and fuller sparkling wine it can be paired with richer and fuller dishes at the table.

  • Terroir⎯The Footprint of Great Wines
    TERROIR⎯THE FOOTPRINT OF GREAT WINES Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the qualification of the Cape Wine Master Diploma Cape Wine Academy GERDA D. MOUTON July 2006 No great wine without the total commitment of the winegrower… “Attaining the purest expression of terroir, such should be the perpetual pursuit of the winegrower in his daily efforts. Every act counts. From the vine, where the grape, interpreter of the soil’s subtleties, is born, through to the winery where the fruit is slowly transformed, the hand of the winegrower along with the tradition and spirit that inspire him are decisive. This passion follows through to the cellar by the bottling of unfiltered wines. This high quality approach preserves the finest constituents of a wine, all these good elements that will allow the wine to develop its noble structure and its multiple aromas. Whatever the cru or the vintage may be, the ambition of the winegrower would be to stimulate the wine lover’s pleasure. Step for step, detail for detail, he should commit himself fully in order to preserve the soul of the wine. There can be no great wine without the total commitment of the winegrower.” Terroir and the Winegrower - Jacky Rigaux, 2006. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express sincere appreciation to all the winemakers for completing the surveys, and industry personalities and opinion leaders who gave up their time to answer questions and provide very detailed feedback. A special thank you to Mr. D. Saayman, for his expert guidance which has enabled me to complete this thesis.

  • Farra D'isonzo
    CA’DEL BOSCO Lombardy Erbusco, Province of Brescia Established: 1968 Owner: Maurizio Zanella Winemaker: Stefano Capelli Hectares under vine: 245 Viticulture: Organic In 1964 Annamaria Clementi purchased a small house called ‘Ca’del bosc’ and two hectares of land, surrounded by chestnut woods. The first vineyards were planted in 1968 and two red wines were released in the early 1970’s. Her son Maurizio Zanella, inspired by a trip to Champagne at just 17 years of age, returned with a vision to make great sparkling wine. What was once a small house in the countryside has since grown to be the eminent sparkling wine in Italy and one of the best in the world. ‘Metodo Ca’ del Bosco’ Maurizio & Stefano are fastidious about quality control from vineyard to cellar. Grapes are picked by hand and placed into small cases, where they are graded and ‘washed’ through a system of baths before entering a drying tunnel. Crushing is done in the absence of oxygen and at bottling, their own patented system avoids oxidative stress and allows for them to bottle the wines with very low sulphur, resulting in Franciacorta wines of purity and elegance. Finally, every bottle is marked with its disgorgement date. NV Franciacorta DOCG Cuvée Prestige Cuvée Prestige is both the essence of Franciacorta and the Ca' del Bosco style. A combination of 134 vineyards contribute to the blend of 75% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Bianco and 15% Pinot Nero. The grapes are vinified separately and 20% of reserve wines are selected from the cellars to give the wine its distinctive and complex character.
