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.

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.

Aromatic Characterization of New White Wine Varieties Made from Monastrell Grapes Grown in South-Eastern Spain
molecules Article Aromatic Characterization of New White Wine Varieties Made from Monastrell Grapes Grown in South-Eastern Spain Juan Daniel Moreno-Olivares, Maria José Giménez-Bañón, Diego Fernando Paladines-Quezada , Jose Cayetano Gómez-Martínez, Ana Cebrián-Pérez, Jose Ignacio Fernández-Fernández, Juan Antonio Bleda-Sánchez and Rocio Gil-Muñoz * Instituto Murciano de Investigación y Desarrollo Agrario y Alimentario (IMIDA), Ctra. La Alberca s/n, 30150 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] (J.D.M.-O.); [email protected] (M.J.G.-B.); [email protected] (D.F.P.-Q.); [email protected] (J.C.G.-M.); [email protected] (A.C.-P.); [email protected] (J.I.F.-F.); [email protected] (J.A.B.-S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 25 August 2020; Published: 27 August 2020 Abstract: The aromatic profile of a wine is one of the main characteristics appreciated by consumers. Due to climate change, vineyards need to adapt to new conditions, and one of the strategies that might be followed is to develop new white varieties from Monastrell and other cultivars by means of intervarietal crosses, since white varieties are a minority in south-eastern Spain. Such crosses have already been obtained and have been seen to provide quality white wines of high acidity and with a good aromatic composition. To confirm this, a quantitative analysis was carried out during two vintages (2018 and 2019) in order to study and compare the volatile composition of Verdejo (V) wine with the aromatic composition of several wines made from different crosses between Cabernet Sauvignon (C), Syrah (S), Tempranillo (T), and Verdejo (V) with Monastrell (M), by means of headspace SPME-GC-MS analysis.

The heat and the drought contributed to an early harvest, but the grapes Total Acidity were very concentrated with flavor due to the lack of water. We fermented the 0.61g / 100ml juice in stainless steel at 45 degrees to preserve the crisp and clean flavors. Once it was done fermenting, we put it down to four-year old French oak, justto give it a little bit of roundness on the back palate.

For many years, wines have been produced by natural fermentation carried out by non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts originate from both the grapes and the cellar. Recently, non-Saccharomyces yeasts role in the wine production has been reassessed, consequently to the contribution that they give in the first part of the fermentation process which positively influences the qualitative features of the wine flavor, that is notoriously ‘‘the backbone’’ of the wine quality. It is therefore critical to increase and improve such aromas in order to characterize the typicalness of the native vineyards. The aim of this study was the selection of both non- Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts, native of Fiano grape and must.

Some of Southern Italy’s most interesting white wines come from the Campania [2]region. One of my favorite whites is Fiano di Avellino [3], a DOCG wine made from the Fiano grape. In Naples it is a top choice to go with many local dishes, especially seafood. One classic combination to try is Fiano di Avellino and Mussels with Black Pepper. Though the Fiano variety is grown in other parts of Southern Italy, the best wine is produced in the province of Avellino thanks to the mild microclimate and mineral rich volcanic and calcareous soil. Page 1 of 2 Campania's great wines: Fiano di Avelllino Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Fiano di Avellino DOCG must be made from at least 85% Fiano with up to 15% of Greco, Coda di Volpe and Trebbiano grapes. The wine has floral notes and hints of honey, pear and toasted hazelnuts with a touch of smoke. It can age for 20 years or more. The Fiano grape was first cultivated in Southern Italy and Sicily during the era when it was colonized by the Ancient Greeks and known in Latin as Magna Graecia [4] (Greater Greece).

La Valentina
WINERY NAME: LA VALENTINA WINERY LOCATION: Spoltore (Pescara province), Abruzzo VINEYARD LOCATION: Pescara province, Abruzzo VINEYARD LAND: 98 acres (40 ha) FARMING PRACTICES: Sustainable & Practicing Organic GRAPE VARIETIES: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Pecorino and a small amount of Fiano WINE STYLES: Dry red; dry rosato; dry white WINE REGIONS: Montepulciano d'abruzzo DOC, Cerasuolo d'abruzzo DOC, Trebbiano d'abruzzo DOC, IGT Colline Pescaresi TOTAL WINE PRODUCTION: 350,000 bottles (260,000 liters) YEAR FOUNDED: 1990 OWNER(S): Sabatino, Roberto, and Andrea Di Properzio WINEMAKER(S): Luca D'Attoma La Valentina is a leading example of the modern renaissance of winemaking in Abruzzo. The region has a history as a source of inexpensive bulk wine production, but a new generation of winemakers have dedicated themselves to harnessing the excellent terroir to produce high quality rather than high quantityand La Valentina is at the forefront of this movement. Rather than turning to international grape varieties or varieties that are more at home in other regions, the Di Properzio brothers remain true to the traditional varieties associated with Abruzzo: Montepulciano and Trebbiano Abruzzese, along with a time-honored but almost forgotten variety, Pecorino. The shift in focus is not in the grapes but in the way they are grown and vinified. It all starts with the land, and in addition to vineyards close to the winery, La Valentina has acquired several vineyard sites that are located at higher elevations in the foothills of the Apennines, near a national park in pristine conditions. In all their vineyards, the Di Properzios have made a strong commitment to sustainabilityavoiding the use of artificial or chemical products, ensuring maximum biodiversity, and relying on minimal intervention in the land's natural processes.
