Socci Peter Luis Brut Traditional Method 2016 Socci Peter Luis Brut Traditional Method 2016 100% Verdicchio Castelpanio Marche, Italy Alcohol: 14% Profile Pale Yellow with gold hues, creamy perlage with fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose we have characteristic aromas of toast and brioche due to the 18 months in contact with the lees and at the same time a pleasant bouquet of floral aromas such as chamomile and white blossom. This is a very refreshing dry and crispy sparkling wine with great balance. But most important: it’s very recognizable as a Verdicchio, with its white stone fruits, citrus notes, and the typical almond note. Terroir The small, family-run winery is situated in Castelplanio, at 350 metres above sea level and all wine-growing and wine-making stages are personally overseen by the owner. The vineyard is on a hill which guarantees that the vines have great exposure to sunlight.. The higher up the hill the air becomes fresher and more crisp. Humidity is thus reduced and the breeze helps to regulate growth conditions, preventing the formation of mould. In addition to being lucky with a good atmospheric temperature range , our vineyards are located on calcareous clay soil which is ideal for the production of high-quality wines. Harvest & Winemaking Harvest: 100% hand harvested Winemaking: 20 days fermentation controlled temperature (17° C) 24 months contact with lees Bottling: Vertical maturation, for 33 months Tasting notes Citrus I White fruits I Apple I I Biscuit I Almond Tips Serving Temperature: 7º - 8ºC Decanting: None Food pairing: Prawns - White fish - Spring Vegetables When to drink: between now and 2022 www.mhdl.nl .

  • Wine Tourism As a Great Opportunity for Georgia
    European Scientific Journal December 2016 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Wine Tourism as a Great Opportunity for Georgia Maia Meladze, Associate Professor Grigol Robakidze University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract In a region with such an extensive wine history and culture, wine and food will be an important component of tourism. As more ventures get off the ground, Georgia will develop a critical mass of wine tourism offerings. Georgia's traditional winemaking method of fermenting grapes in earthenware, egg-shaped vessels has been added to the world heritage list of UNESCO. Georgia’s ancient wine culture has seen a revival in recent years. Winemakers have realized that their traditional method of qvevri winemaking is one of their most valuable assets. In the last decade, wine tourism has become a key component of gastronomy tourism and a pillar in the strategies of diversification of many destinations. The quality, styles, and value of Georgian wine available internationally will stimulate interest in Georgian wine tourism, more so than vice versa. Keywords: Wine; Qvevri wine; Wine tourism; Georgia Introduction Nobody knows when and how exactly the first grapevine was cultivated in Georgia, but earliest archeological evidence of viniculture that was discovered in Georgia dates back to 6,000 B.C. The statue of bronze man (height 7.5 cm) was found in Vani region (Georgia) excavation. It is a man sitting in the arm-chair with a drinking- horn in his right hand. One has the impression that he is proposing a toast. The period of this statue’s origin is considered to be VII-VI centuries BC.

  • Multi-Sensor Characterization of Sparkling Wines Based on Data Fusion
    chemosensors Article Multi-Sensor Characterization of Sparkling Wines Based on Data Fusion Anais Izquierdo-Llopart 1 and Javier Saurina 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Chemistry, University of Barcelona, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] 2 Research Institute in Food Nutrition and Food Safety, University of Barcelona, Av. Prat de la Riba 171, Edifici Recerca (Gaudí), E08921 Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper is focused on the assessment of a multi-sensor approach to improve the overall characterization of sparkling wines (cava wines). Multi-sensor, low-level data fusion can provide more comprehensive and more accurate vision of results compared with the study of simpler data sets from individual techniques. Data from different instrumental platforms were combined in an enriched matrix, integrating information from spectroscopic (UV/Vis and FTIR), chromatographic, and other techniques. Sparkling wines belonging to different classes, which differed in the grape varieties, coupages, and wine-making processes, were analyzed to determine organic acids (e.g., tartaric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids), pH, total acidity, polyphenols, total antioxidant capacity, ethanol, or reducing sugars. The resulting compositional values were treated chemometrically for a more efficient recovery of the underlaying information. In this regard, exploratory methods such as principal component analysis showed that phenolic compounds were dependent on varietal and blending issues while organic acids were more affected by fermentation features. The analysis of the Citation: Izquierdo-Llopart, A.; multi-sensor data set provided a more comprehensive description of cavas according to grape classes, Saurina, J. Multi-Sensor blends, and vinification processes.

  • Sparkling Wine - How Bubblies of the World Are Created (And Enjoyed)
    Search EzineArticles.com Search Join About Us Contact Us Expert Authors Ask Chris Knight Join Sign in Sparkling Wine - How Bubblies of the World Are Created (And Enjoyed) By Daniel Pambianchi | Submitted On May 20, 2009 0 "In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it." - Napoleon Bonaparte Champagne was not only made popular by such great quotes, but also by celebrity endorsements or excesses. It's no secret that Agent 007 James Bond always had a strong penchant for Bollinger Champagne (and vodka). And it has been reported that Marilyn Monroe once filled up her tub with 350 bottles of Champagne, and took a long, luxurious bath in it. Champagne, the dry sparkling wine from the northeastern French region (east of Paris) bearing the same name, has long been considered the ultimate beverage of choice to raise a toast or to celebrate a special occasion. Its image as a celebratory drink and the high price of Champagne coupled with North Americans' preference for sweeter style drinks have sent the image and sales spiraling down over the years. Fortunately, with the proliferation of inexpensive and both dry and off-dry sparkling wines from almost every wine-producing region of the world, bubbly is slowly regaining some of its lost popularity. Gone are the days when sparkling wine was only drunk to mark a special occasion or to pair with luxurious delicacies such as caviar. Sparkling wine makes an excellent aperitif on its own or with simple hors d'oeuvres, seafood entrees or sushi, or it can be enjoyed with dessert if the wine is off-dry or sweet.

  • Winemaking Basics-Bruce Hagen.Pdf
    Winemaking Basics Bruce Hagen Sourcing grapes: good wine starts with good grapes Ripeness: is generally expressed as percent sugar or °Brix (°B). The normal range is 22 – 26°B (17.5 to 19 for sparkling and 21 for some ‘crisp’ and austere whites). Use a hydrometer or a refractometer to check it. If you harvest much above 26, you should consider diluting the juice (must) with water to adjust it to downward a bit, depending on the alcohol level you are comfortable with. The problem with making wines from high °Brix grapes is that the resulting alcohol level will be high. The fermentation may stop (stick) and the wine may taste hot. Therefore, you should consider diluting the must or juice, if the sugar level is much above 26 (see adjusting the °Brix below). The alcohol conversion factor for most yeasts is about .57, but ranges from .55 to as high as .64. Multiply the °B by the conversion factor to determine the probable alcohol level: ex 26°B x .57 = 14.8%. If the °B level is 27, the resulting alcohol level will be 15.4 —very hot! If you dilute to 25, the alcohol will be 14.25%. If you dilute it to 24ºB, the alcohol will be 13.7% —quite acceptable. Whites vs. reds: § White grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, and pressed before fermentation. § Skin contact is relatively short. § Red grapes are typically de-stemmed, crushed, cold-soaked (optional), and he wine pressed off the skins and seeds after fermentation. Skin contact is lengthy, so color and tannins are more intense.

  • How to Achieve a Successful Prise De Mousse
    HOW TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL PRISE DE MOUSSE A good preparation of a Prise de Mousse is multifactorial. The composition of the base wine is essential, but many other parameters will have an impact. All parameters are interdependents. If there are several limiting factors, then this will increases the risk of failure. The following key parameter values are given as recommendations. If only one parameter shows a value above the recommended values, then it is strongly recommended to carefully follow the starter protocol and to avoid ANY other limiting parameters. KEY PARAMETERS During the Prise de Mousse, the alcoholic percentage will increase 1.3 to ALCOHOL 1.5%Vol. So, it is recommended to have a base wine %Vol. around 11 to 11.5%Vol. SO strongly impacts yeast activity. The recommended concentration is 10 FREE SO 2 2 ppm, maximum 15 ppm. Base wine pH is usually between 3.0 and 3.2. With techniques like electrodialysis, the pH can often be below 3.0. It is important to not have a pH pH below 2.9. Below this value, yeast activity is negatively impacted. These naturally difficult pH conditions can also occur in cool climate areas. There is an interplay between pH and molecular SO2 ; a low pH means a high active SO2. Historically, base wines were often aerated before Prise de Mousse. We now understand the significance of this step ; it is not for adding oxygen to the DISSOLVED CO2 Prise de Mousse but rather to remove CO2. We estimate that 0.4 g/L of dissolved CO2 can inhibit yeast activity by 40%.
