A four-step experimental procedure was set up by performing the following tests; 1) Preliminary study of Lallzyme MMX ® oenological preparation (Lallemand Inc., Canada), commonly used to improve the short maturing of wines on lees, both in presence and in absence of two secondary fermentation yeast strains: Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus BCS103 ® (Fermentis, division of S.I. Lesaffre, France) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus Lalvin EC1118 ® (Lallemand Inc., Canada) in synthetic buffers, in dependence of pH and ethanol concentrations, kinetic parameters determination; 2) Sparkling wines production by the traditional method. Base wine inoculum was performed using the same selected yeast strains, both in absence and in presence of Lallzyme MMX ®; 3) Base wine and sparkling wines sampling at 4, 8 and 12 months after tirage and study of: yeasts morphological changes by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observations; foaming properties; free amino acids composition; total proteins content. A fourth step was focused on perform a sensory analysis 12 months after tirage by a trained panel group aimed at assess the differences between sparkling wines produced in presence and in absence of Lallzyme MMX ®.

It is the only city in the ancient world that has not perished like Ilium, like Nineveh, like Babylon. It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals. Customise your tour, choosing from: – Farmacia degli Incurabili: This pharmaceutical laboratory was a meeting point for the Neapolitan Enlightened elite. Discover the intriguing anecdotes of a place where art and science collided. – Biblioteca dei Girolamini: Home to a vast archive of books and opera music since 1586, this is the oldest public library in Naples. – San Gaudioso Catacombs: Concealed beneath the Basilica di Santa Maria della Santità lies one of the most important early Christian cemeteries in Naples. Head underground to unearth the mysterious crypt’s secrets. – Sansevero Chapel: Preserving the Veiled Christ, one of the greatest masterpieces ever carved in marble, this chapel is an iconic example of 18th-century creativity. The statues appear so fluid and soft, you may be tempted to reach out and touch them. Visits may vary according to availability.

A Quartino is a quarter of a liter of wine, about a third of a bottle or a glass and a half. Served in a small carafe it is a perfect way to split a glass of wine for an aperitivo or an intermezzo. 1 “My dream was to magically pour wine from bottles without ever pulling the cork. The remaining wine could then go back in my cellar, so that I could enjoy it again, whenever I desired. What followed was a decade of development and testing until I had a system that left the cork in place, but still delivered great glasses of wine, indistinguishable from untouched bottles.” Greg Lambrecht, Coravin Founder Using the Coravin system we offer some of our best wines by the glass.

The name by Candolle is legitimate and it is here lectotypified by a specimen kept at G. In addition, after field surveys and herbarium searches, we suggest that this taxon should be considered as a subspecies of C. deusta Ten., a very polymorphic species of south-eastern Europe, proposing a new combination and providing a detailed description. In addition, we provide the validation of the name C. cineraria subsp. sirenum, endemic to Sirenuse islands (province of Salerno). Finally, a new natural hybrid within C. sect. Centaurea (C. montaltensis × C. deusta subsp. deusta) is described on the basis of the diagnosis and a specimen at PI by Michele Guadagno.

This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview One of Italy’s most blessed regions, the Sorrentine Peninsula and nearby Isle of Capri seemingly have it all—history, elegance, authentic villages, dramatic coastal scenery, and untouched wild places—all interconnected by a wide network of walking trails that remain just out of view of the more touristed places. From Sorrento, Capri, Positano, and Ravello, you slip out of elegant town squares into a landscape of age-old terraces of lemon and olive groves and onto high ridges with sweeping views of the sparkling Mediterranean. You’ll explore at your own pace, wandering through whitewashed villages and climbing hillside trails dotted with wild herbs to stunning clifftop promontories before reaching sumptuous villa gardens. Elegant hotels capture the glamour and old-world style that have drawn visitors for centuries on a Grand Tour, an artist’s retreat, or a jet-setting jaunt.
