The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

  • August 2020 Tasting Notes

    August 2020 Tasting Notes

    Tasting Notes August 2020 Pick-up Wines of Puglia, Italy Welcome to your August 2020 Smart Wine Club pickup. The theme this quarter is the region of Puglia (sometimes called Apulia), the easternmost region of Italy. When you're thinking of the boot-shaped country of Italy, Puglia is the heel of the boot. Puglia is an up-and-coming region for Italian wines. Wine grapes were first planted there over 1,000 years ago by the Greeks, and for centuries, it was known as a strong agricultural region producing inexpensive wine for local consumption. However, in the 1960s and 70s as the middle class grew worldwide and wine became an affordable luxury, Puglia gained a negative reputation for starting to produce mass quantities of very poor-quality bulk wine for blending. Then in the 1990s things started to turn around and the area benefited from government investments in tourism and improved winemaking. These days the region is known for its well-valued and easy-to-enjoy red wines. The most famous grape is Primitivo, which originally comes from Croatia and is either the exact same or a very close genetic relative of Zinfandel (wine geneticists are still working on this question). The 2nd grape of Puglia is Negroamaro, which produces either deep, bold reds or famously tasty rosatos. Other well-known local red grapes include Aglianico, Nero de Troia and Susumaniello. Fiano is the most common local white grape. Thank you so much for your continued support of the Smart Wine Club even during these incredibly strange times.
