Tasting Note A crisp and spicy dry white with delicate floral aromas and hints of fennel and white peach. Medium bodied and fresh with zesty citrus fruit flavours and lightly tropical hints balanced by good acidity and with spicy, mineral notes on the finish. Producer Details Set up in 2003, Adria Vini is a winemaking venture jointly owned by Boutinot and Araldica Vini Piemontesi, the leading co-operative in Piemonte. All areas of production, from grape selection through to vinification, maturation, blending and bottling are meticulously overseen by Araldica's Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese. Working closely with growers and cooperatives, our aim is to produce a range of authentic, well-priced wines from local grape varieties. The mainstay of white wine production is Pinot Grigio, sourced from the Pavia region south of Milan, Friuli and the Veneto, with the addition of Prosecco, and Grillo and Catarratto wines from Sicily. The reds come from mature, low yielding vineyards in Sicily, Puglia and Abruzzo, the source of some of Europe's most undervalued and characterful wines. Our most recent project has brought Cannonau and Vermentino from Sardinia to the portfolio. In The Vineyard Food Recommendations The grapes are sourced from 10-15 year old vines Pair with fish, shellfish or pasta dishes with lightly in the Murgia zone of central Puglia.

  • About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the Crest of a Hill in Southwestern
    About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the crest of a hill in Southwestern France, Fanjeaux is a peaceful agricultural community that traces its origins back to the Romans. According to local legend, a Roman temple to Jupiter was located where the parish church now stands. Thus the name of the town proudly reflects its Roman heritage– Fanum (temple) Jovis (Jupiter). It is hard to imagine that this sleepy little town with only 900 inhabitants was a busy commercial and social center of 3,000 people during the time of Saint Dominic. When he arrived on foot with the Bishop of Osma in 1206, Fanjeaux’s narrow streets must have been filled with peddlers, pilgrims, farmers and even soldiers. The women would gather to wash their clothes on the stones at the edge of a spring where a washing place still stands today. The church we see today had not yet been built. According to the inscription on a stone on the south facing outer wall, the church was constructed between 1278 and 1281, after Saint Dominic’s death. You should take a walk to see the church after dark when its octagonal bell tower and stone spire, crowned with an orb, are illuminated by warm orange lights. This thick-walled, rectangular stone church is an example of the local Romanesque style and has an early Gothic front portal or door (the rounded Romanesque arch is slightly pointed at the top). The interior of the church was modernized in the 18th century and is Baroque in style, but the church still houses unusual reliquaries and statues from the 13th through 16th centuries.

  • Judeo-Provençal in Southern France
    George Jochnowitz Judeo-Provençal in Southern France 1 Brief introduction Judeo-Provençal is also known as Judeo-Occitan, Judéo-Comtadin, Hébraïco- Comtadin, Hébraïco-Provençal, Shuadit, Chouadit, Chouadite, Chuadit, and Chuadite. It is the Jewish analog of Provençal and is therefore a Romance lan- guage. The age of the language is a matter of dispute, as is the case with other Judeo-Romance languages. It was spoken in only four towns in southern France: Avignon, Cavaillon, Caprentras, and l’Isle-sur-Sorgue. A women’s prayer book, some poems, and a play are the sources of the medieval language, and transcrip- tions of Passover songs and theatrical representations are the sources for the modern language. In addition, my own interviews in 1968 with the language’s last known speaker, Armand Lunel, provide data (Jochnowitz 1978, 1985). Lunel, who learned the language from his grandparents, not his parents, did not have occasion to converse in it. Judeo-Provençal/Shuadit is now extinct, since Armand Lunel died in 1977. Sometimes Jewish languages have a name meaning “Jewish,” such as Yiddish or Judezmo – from Hebrew Yehudit or other forms of Yehuda. This is the case with Shuadit, due to a sound change of /y/ to [š]. I use the name Judeo-Provençal for the medieval language and Shuadit for the modern language. 2 Historical background 2.1 Speaker community: Settlement, documentation Jews had lived in Provence at least as early as the first century CE. They were officially expelled from France in 1306, readmitted in 1315, expelled again in 1322, readmitted in 1359, and expelled in 1394 for a period that lasted until the French Revolution.

  • Ghost Commandery: Shaping Local Templar Identity in the Cartulary of Provins
    Ghost Commandery: Shaping Local Templar Identity in the Cartulary of Provins Michael J. Peixoto New York University In 1133, in the presence of the retinue of the Count of Champagne, the Count of Brie, and more than twenty other men and women from the Champagne nobility, Drogo of Pierrefonds presented a knife to the Knights of the Temple of Solomon. 1 This knife gave tangible form to the orally pledged gift that André, the seneschal of the Count of Champagne, gave to the Templars. 2 The gift itself, a castle in Baudement along with fields, meadows, bridges, and servants, was made for the salvation of André's soul and especially for his son William, who was himself a Templar. André's gift was recorded in a charter, which was copied into the cartulary of the Templar Commandery (or House) at Provins nearly eighty years later. 3 The use of a 1 Victor Carrière, ed., Histoire et cartulaire des Templiers de Provins avec une introduction sur les débuts du Temple en France (Paris: Librairie Ancienne Honoré Champion, 1919), No. 81.

  • A Tribute to the Professional History of Antonio Mastroberardino, the Archaeologist of Vine and Wine
    fiano di avellino DOCG 2015 A tribute to the professional history of Antonio Mastroberardino, the archaeologist of vine and wine Mastroberardino Winery and Vineyards «The Stilèma project testifies the love of Antonio Mastroberardino for his land, its vines and its wines, for their original characters.». (Piero Mastroberardino) A love that during the decades, while Antonio was collecting success worldwide, was turning into a pressing concern that those same characters could be diluted, gradually dispersed due to the action of man, the processes of selection of the most productive genetic material, which is often not the more suitable to guarantee the best organoleptic expressions of a species. Antonio, my father, stressed the concept of the relevance of a research program able to retrace the time backwards, to bring us back to pre-war Irpinia viticulture, to a period of less contamination and a deeper varietal characterization, a more territorial style of wines, distinctive of a territory less subject to the distorting effects of external agents. Mastroberardino spa - Via Manfredi 75/81 – 83042 – Atripalda (Av) – Italy – P.I. 00080500648 Tel +39 0825 614.111 Fax +39 0825 614.231 www.Mastroberardino.coM A project started at the turn of the millennium, with a series of experimental hypotheses starting from selected clones in pre-phylloxera vineyards and leading to a rediscovery of working protocols, both in the vineyard and in the winery, related to the time in which Irpinia wines affirmed itself as the pick of the iceberg of a process of renaissance and revitalization of viticulture in our Country. Fiano, tenute Mastroberardino That program, over the last few years, has placed on a single mind map a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening the link between our vines and wines with their territorial origins.
