The project is an excellent opportunity to promote typical mountain produce, in particular cheeses, in order to create a close link with the promotion of the local area, culture and tourism. There is a clear connection between, one the one hand, the tourist, hotel and catering trades and on the other, the safeguarding and promotion of typical quality produce which, in particular in mountain areas, is one of the main channels of communication with the visitor, insofar as it is representative of the identity of the people who live and work in the mountains.

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.

  • Prosecco-Way Beyond Bubbles-Presented by Alan Tardi
    Way Beyond Bubbles Terroir, Tradition and Technique in Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Alan Tardi Modern History The modern history of Prosecco begins in 1876 when enologist Giovanni Battista Cerletti founded the Scuola Enologico in Conegliano (an outgrowth of the Enological Society of the Treviso Province created in 1868). Carpenè’s groundbreaking La Vite e il Vino nella Wine maker and enologist work, Provincia di Treviso (1874), lists Antonio Carpenè (1838- a staggering number of 1902) played a significant different (mostly indigenous) role in the creation and grape varieties being cultivated operation of the school. in the Province of Treviso as well as many different viticultural systems and trellising methods (including training vines up into trees). Over in Piedmont, in 1895 Federico Martinotti, director of the Experimental Station of Enology in Asti (founded in January, 1872 by Royal Decree of Victor Emanuele Il, King of Italy) developed and patented the technique of conducting the second fermentation in large pressurized temperature- controlled receptacles. The technology was immediately and developed by the Conegliano school. [In 1910, Eugène Charmat adopted an existing device called the autoclave (which was invented in 1879 by a colleague of Louis Pasteur named Charles Chamberland) for the production of sparkling wine. The name stuck...] • By around 1910 the autoclave technology was was perfected for use in the production of sparkling wines in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. At about the same time, phylloxera broke out, followed shortly thereafter by WW I and economic depression. • It was not until the economic resurgence of Italy following WW II in the mid-1950s and ‘60s that the autoclave became diffused throughout the area of Conegliano Valdobbiadene and the modern day wine industry was born.

  • Prosecco On-Premise Training Guide
    Prosecco on-premise training guide Prosecco is among Italy's largest wine categories and is recognized and well-loved by consumers around the world. With sales growth rates outpacing Champagne, Prosecco is an important wine to understand and include in your beverage program. This guide offers an opportunity for you to dig deeper into the region and discover how the local terroir (i.e., all of the vineyard and cellar factors that shape how a wine tastes) and winemaking techniques make different styles of Prosecco. This knowledge will help you develop a dialogue with your guests to build trust and confidence. Prosecco is the ultimate in affordable luxury, but there is more to Prosecco than brunch bubbles! 1 How is Prosecco made? While it’s often compared to Champagne, Prosecco is made using a different process where the bubbles are created in a pressurized tank rather than an individual bottle (the latter is the production method used in Champagne). The process goes by several names including Tank Method or Charmat Method, but Italians refer to it as the Martinotti Method. Italian Federico Martinotti developed and patented this sparkling wine method in 1895, but that design was improved upon by Frenchman Eugène Charmat in 1907, and the Charmat name stuck. Are all Proseccos sparkling? The vast majority of Prosecco is spumante (fully sparkling), but a tiny slice of production is made as a frizzante (a fizzy style with about 1-2.5 bars of pressure) and a tranquillo(still) version. The benefits of using the tank method are that it preserves the youthful fruity flavors (perfect for the aromatic Glera grape) whereas the traditional method used in Champagne and Franciacorta (frahn cha COR tah) produces more of a savory yeasty character in the wines.

  • Wines of Veneto
    ITALY Viva Veneto! THE DIVERSE WINE REGION IN NORTHEASTERN ITALY IS WORTH DISCOVERING story and photos by Allison Levine amous for the canals of Venice, renowned for the architecture of Palladio and fabled for star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, the Veneto region, in north- Feastern Italy, is equally celebrated for the fruit of the vine. Five of the region’s seven provinces produce wine: Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Treviso and Venice. With 25 DOCs and 11 DOCGs, the Veneto is responsible for producing 20% of all Italian DOC wines. A recent trip to the region was spent exploring and learning about the provinces and their wines, ranging from familiar names such as Prosecco, Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone, to lesser-known wines such as Bardolino, Raboso, Tai Rosso, Lison and many others. There are also many international varietals grown in the region, but below we honor some of the indigenous wines in each province. Verona Some of the region’s most recognized wines come from the province of Verona. The Soave area, which includes Soave DOC and two DOCGs (Soave Recioto and Soave Superiore), holds the largest vineyard expanse in Europe, with 6,500 hectares planted. Made with at least 65% Garganega and up to 30% Trebbiano di Soave, Soave is a fragrant, fresh, medium-bodied wine. Antonio Bonotto and his wife on the family property that dates back at least 600 years in the small village of Tezze, situated on the left bank of the river Piave, south of Conegliano.

  • Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie DOC, Veneto, Italy
    AVANTI Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie DOC, Veneto, Italy GRAPE VARIEITES 100% Pinot Grigio PLACE & PRODUCTION The Delle Venezie region in north-eastern Italy is probably the best place in the world to grow Pinot Grigio grapes and turn them into what is arguably the world’s most refreshing white wine. The beautiful, hilly region is bordered by the Alps to the north, and the Adriatic sea to the southeast. Here, cool breezes sweep down from mountains to the water and provide a constant contrast to the hot sun. This keeps the vineyards very cool at night and nurtures Pinot Grigio’s naturally playful acidity and lively aromatics. Botter works with growers throughout the region and this provides the flexibility to produce satisfying wines with consistency and quality in every vintage. The average vineyard age is 15 years. Grapes are harvested separately in early September by machine, according to vineyard site and ripeness. Lots are vinified individually in stainless-steel tanks under temperature control using selected yeasts (saccaromyces, cerevisae). Fermentation lasts 15-20 days depending on the lot. The final blend is assembled, and the wine is stored in tank until bottling, so only the freshest wine is shipped to the market. Avanti is Vegan and Vegetarian friendly, Gluten Free, and non-GMO. WINERY The Botter family has been producing wines in Fossalta di Piave, north of Venice, since 1928. Over the generations the company has grown significantly but with purpose, and it remains family owned and operated with a focus on exports. Today the three Botter siblings - Allesandro, Annalisa, and Luca - manage the company together, and their style is hands on.

  • Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, Blended with Rondinella
    Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, blended with Rondinella. Other grapes of the region, such as Molinara, Negrara and Oseleta, up to 15% of the blend are permitted. Valpolicella “Superiore” show a rounder character, with a higher minimum alcohol and a minimum of one year of aging. Valpolicella Classico region is at the western end of the appellation, near the shores of Lake Garda, and consists of four “valleys, surrounding the communes of Fumane, Marano, Negrar, Sant'Ambrogio, and San Pietro in Cariano. Sub appellations also from the valleys of Valpantena and Illasi, Single vineyard (vigna) bottlings also exist. Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella were finally approved for DOCG status in late 2009, and may labelled “Classico” or “Valpantena” if they originate in the respective areas. Made by the appassimento process; the grapes are dried for approximately 120 days (4months) in special chambers (fruttai), under controlled conditions thus concentrating sugars. & flavours ,. (Approx 30% of original weight) The appassimento process adds complex dried fruit flavours, & additional alcoholic potential to the resulting must. Following drying, (end of January/beginning of February,) the grapes are pressed and go through a dry low temperature fermentation which can last between 30/50 days. The reduced water content can slow down the fermentation process, increasing the risk of spoilage and potential wine faults such as high volatile acidity If fermentation is stopped early, the resulting wine will contain residual sugar (more than 4 grams of sugar per litre) and produce a sweeter wine known as Recioto della Valpolicella.
