Our Ws Award Winning Wine List Our list stems from the emotions wines transmitted to us during trips, tastings, and meetings with producers. We think that grapes and wines should represent the territory they come from. The producers’ ethics, often small producers, must resonate with our own ethics and values. Ideally, we would want our list to be able to satisfy all - or almost all - tastes and pockets, while never disregarding quality. We think it’s definitely possible to drink well while spending less. Thanks to these wines, we would love to take you on a journey through the places they are produced in, as to share with you the mastery and the history behind each and every one of them. You will find a focus on wines coming from the region of Apulia. That’s because they tell the story at the foundation of our Restaurant’s cuisine and so we think it’s worth giving them the space they deserve. Mario Soldati, unforgettable writer and pioneer of Italian eno-gastronomic journalism, used to say: WINE IS EARTH'S POETRY We couldn’t agree more with him. Hoping that this will be a journey full of emotions for you as well, let’s toast. ALLA SALUTE, EVVIVA!

This is a wine made with certified organically grown grapes using a small amount (100 ppm) of added sulfites as a preservative. Biodynamic Biodynamic farming uses a holistic approach to agriculture which focuses on supporting the health of the entire ecosystem of the vineyards considering the soil beneath them a living organism. Crops are often planted, pruned and harvested according to lunar cycles. Certified biodynamic wines may contain sulfites up to 100 ppm. Sustainable Winemakers may use all or some organic farming practices, but do not adhere to a specific philosophy certification.

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.
