Volta 13B, 39100 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0471-017691 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 28 November 2020; Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: Targeted and untargeted determinations are being currently applied to different classes of natural phenolics to develop an integrated approach aimed at ensuring compliance to regulatory prescriptions related to specific quality parameters of wine production. 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
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. Remember, if you introduce a friend who then decides to join, you’ll BOTH receive 10% off your next tote.

Pairing Wine with Pizza; and a Whole Lot More
Pairing Wine With Pizza; And A Whole Lot More If you are like most people, you’ll be having pizza sometime this weekend as watch your favorite team competing in the NCAA basketball tournament. There is something about America’s most favorite comfort food that manages to ﬁnd itself in the hands of weekend warriors looking for a carefree dinner. Maybe it’s the combination of cheese and tomatoes spread over bread that makes this dish so enticing – or maybe it’s just something that requires no plate or fork and can eaten in front of the television. Historians believe that pizza started in Italy as focaccia. Various items were added to the bread, but it was American tomatoes brought to Italy that created the pizza we know today. Italian immigrants brought it to our shores in the late 19th century. Whatever the history, pizza is hardly a waning fad. Look around and you can ﬁnd more pizzerias than ever with geographical specialties from every corner of the earth: New York, Chicago, Hawaii, Sicily – and styles – margherita, neopolitan, pissaladiere. While soda or beer are most often associated with pizza, there are a number of wines that marry well with it too. When we have pizza at our house, we turn to our most simplistic wines. We’re not dealing with sterak here, so opening a complex cabernet sauvignon is a waste of money. Instead, we like to pair fruity red wines – zinfandel, syrah and barbaras — with tomato-based pizzas. These inexpensive wines marry well with the tomatoes, meat and crust.

Brochure Masca Del Tacco
HISTORY WITH THE ACQUISITION OF MASCA DEL TACCO, FELICE MERGÈ EXPANDS ITS BOUNDARIES BEYOND LAZIO REGION In 2010 Felice Mergè, guided by his father Armando’s experience, buys and restores a building long known as the Cooperativa Comunale dei Produttori di Erchie, active since 1949. Renamed as Masca del Tacco, the building is brought back to its original rural splendor but at the same time enriched with the latest equipment and innovative production techniques, aimed to produce the best wine quality without losing its traditional nature. Masca del Tacco subsequently expanded its vineyards in the areas of Veglie and Torricella. The warmth of the land and the sea influx of the Salentina peninsula, the hard-working hands of farmers, the weather: these factors result in extremely characterized wines by Masca del Tacco. PHILOSOPHY MASCA DEL TACCO PRODUCTIONS GATHER FLAVOURS WHICH ARE A MODERN EXPRESSION BUT AT THE SAME TIME REPRESENT HISTORICAL UNIQUE WINE PATRIMONIES Tradition, identity and territory but also passion, commitment and experience: these are the values shared by the Company continues to cultivate native grapes, making use of the soil potentiality so that its bottles gather flavours which are a modern expression, but at the same time represent historical unique wine patrimonies. The vineyard work is done manually, winemaking is traditional, and the use of aging woods is never too invasive, in order to obtain a final product as pure as possible. The company philosophy is to put the advanced equipments and technologies at the service of a great wine tradition. VINEYARDS THE SOILS OF MASCA DEL TACCO ARE STRONGLY ANCHORED TO THE TYPICAL VINEYARDS THAT POWERFULLY DISTINGUISH THE COMPANY’S PRODUCTIONS In the vineyards which extend in the Brindisi countryside with the Masseria Paticchi, we can find Negroamaro, Primitivo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Fiano and in a small part Syrah and Pinot Nero.

British Food Journal British Food Journal ONLINE WINE ECOSYSTEM: THE DIGITAL NARRATIVE OF SANGIOVESE Journal: British Food Journal Manuscript ID Draft Manuscript Type: Research Paper Online wine ecosystem, Grape variety, Sangiovese, Digital narrative, Keywords: Non-winery-owned information, Wine consumer Page 1 of 14 British Food Journal 1 2 3 Abstract 4 5 6 Purpose – This study investigates how grape varieties are narrated online by non-winery-owned 7 sources in four countries: Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. This study 8 focuses on Sangiovese, the most important varietal of Italy. 9 Design/methodology/approach – Texts collected on the Internet underwent a software-assisted 10 semantic clustering procedure based on text-mining techniques. Identified clusters were then 11 qualitatively analyzed by content. 12 Findings – The digital narrative on Sangiovese is mainly technical and conveyed by adopting a 13 14 professional slant that is suitable for knowledgeable consumers but less effective for common and 15 unexperienced wine drinkers. Online information is concentrated in few websites that act as 16 information gatekeepers. 17 Research limitations/implications – The results highlight the online wine ecosystem by 18 investigating how Sangiovese-relatedBritish information Food is providedJournal by non-winery-owned sources on the 19 Internet. The findings of this study may be useful for Italian wineries to communicate and promote 20 Sangiovese-based wines in foreign markets. In addition to offering a multicountry investigation, 21 22 this study limits the research to English-written online information. 23 Originality/value – This study represents one of the first attempts to investigate the online 24 narrative of grape varieties by presenting a marketing perspective and investigating the 25 characteristics of non-winery-owned online information, which may shape wine consumers’ 26 behavior.
