  • 2019 Roero Arneis Docg
    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol. Total acidity: 5.10 g/L pH: 3.30 Total extract: 22.5 g/L Sensory analysis: Intense straw colored with greenish glints. The nose presents lemon, pineapple, peach and apricot notes with floral hints. On the palate, it is fresh, full-bodied, with mineral notes and a persistent finish.

  • The Italian Wine Sector
    The Italian Wine Sector 28 Feb 2017 The Italian wine sector is the world’s largest wine producer and its second largest exporter by volume behind Spain. This paper gives an overview of wine production, consumption, imports and exports for the Italian wine sector and how these compare with Australia. Production Italy produces the most wine of any country in the world. The OIV estimated that while Italian wine production fell by 1.2 per cent in 2016 to 4.9 billion litres this still placed Italy ahead of France (4.2 billion litres) and Spain (3.8 billion litres In comparison, Australian wine production is one quarter of Italy’s (1.2 billion litres). Between 2001 and 2015, Italian wine production averaged 4.7 billion litres, reaching a peak of 5.4 billion litres in 2006. Italian wines are categorised by their official quality level designation. The highest quality level in Italy is Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), of which there are currently 74. The second level is Denominazione d’Origine Controllata (DOC). There are 334 DOCs. European Union (EU) law allows Italian producers to continue to use these terms, but the EU officially considers both to be at the same level of Protected Designation of Origin or PDO –known in Italy as Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (DOP). Therefore, the DOP list contains all 408 DOCs and DOCGs together. The quality level below this, which has less stringent requirements and therefore gives producers more flexibility on how they make their wines, is called Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP) – or Protected Geographic Indication in English.

  • Vending Machine Wines “Pet Gnat” (Chenin Blanc) Napa CA '19 $40
    Wine to go NMT Vending Machine Wines “Pet Gnat” (Chenin Blanc) Napa CA ‘19 $40 Local Winemakers Neil and Monica of Vending Machine buzz in with their pun wine “Pet-Gnat”. This funky-fresh spritzy white wine is a great intro into the world of “Petillant naturel” Wines. Using Chenin Blanc, the juice is bottled earlier on in the winery where it finishes fermentation in the bottle. This process traps cO2 and live yeasts giving the wine a home brew beerlike quality. Think key-lime, candied orange peel, and ginger tea. Poderi Cellario “É Orange” (Nascetta, Arneis, Incrocio Manzoni) Langhe, Italy ‘19 $35 Fausto and Cinzia Cellario are 3rd generation winemakers in the village of Carru` on the western outskirts of the Langhe. The family believes in only working with local, indigenous Piemontese grape varieties and fiercely defends local winemaking traditions both in the vineyard work and the cellar practices. Classic “Orange wine” treatment with 5 days grape skin maceration. Aged in clay amphora for 6 to 8 months. Your favorite tart summer creamsicle. Catherine & Pierre Breton, La Rouge (Grolleau) Loire Valley ‘18 -$55 If you remember Catherine & Pierre Breton’s rosé back from the Jazzfest menu, then you know they boogie down. Lively, fruit-driven always capture the spirit of these friendly vignerons, but here is a relatively new bottling that, dare I say, boosts that “boogie” factor completely through the roof. This wine is a pure old-vine Grolleau from soils of clay and silex. The result of a carbonic maceration in wooden vats, and shows its best with a slight chill.

  • Arneis Langhe DOC
    Arneis Langhe DOC The Bongiovanni farmstead dates back to the early 1950s, when it was purchased by Giovanni Bongiovanni. Giovanni planted a Nebbiolo vineyard where there had been nothing but untamed woodland. He struck gold, yet never bottled his own wine. When he died, the estate was left to his daughter Olga who grew to cover prime hillside vineyards of the Langhe for her own wines. Here, the family only planted native grape varieties and one noble international grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. A good number of innovations have come about thanks to Olga’s nephew, winemaker Davide Mozzone. The Bongiovanni philosophy aims to minimize outside intervention and maximize character and terroir, steering clear of stereotypical wines. While not certified organic, the winery proudly participates in Piedmont’s Green Experience, which is a network of sustainable and organic growers. This native Piedmont white grape was once used to “lighten” Nebbiolo but has seen an increase in popularity as of late and is a staple at many a happy hour, thanks to its strong and inviting perfumes. Bongiovanni Arneis ages only in stainless steel to maintain this lightness. Wine exported to: Canada, Puerto Rico, Singapore Most recent awards JAMES SUCKLING: 90 WINE SPECTATOR: 88 Winemaking and Aging Grape Varieties: 100% Arneis Fermentation container: Stainless steel Length of alcoholic fermentation: 4 weeks Type of yeast: Selected Fermentation temperature: 12-14 °C (53.6-57.2 °F) Malolactic fermentation: No Fining agent: Bentonite Aging containers: Stainless steel Container

  • Tiberio ARCHIVIO MONTEPULCIANO D'abruzzo - 2017 REGION: ITALY - ABRUZZO
    Tiberio ARCHIVIO MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO - 2017 REGION: ITALY - ABRUZZO THE WINE Vineyard Profile The Archivio is a “single vineyard” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo coming from a specific 1.2 hectare portion of our historical 2.5 hectare vineyard planted to 65 years old Montepulciano vines. It is from this vineyard that over the years we identified, selected and then propagated our massal selections of Montepulciano vines with which we have planted all our Montepulciano vineyards. The Archivio is a special portion of this larger vineyard because it is the only plot on the whole property that has a strong clay presence in the subsoil (limestone soil – subsoil with presence of clay and iron oxide). The Montepulciano that grows in the Archivio vineyard has different characteristics and so do the wines that are made with it. It is from this vineyard that we identified four different Montepulciano biotypes that look and behave differently from other known Montepulciano biotypes and clones. Therefore, it represents our estates’s historical Montepulciano vines library , or archive (hence the wine’s name: “archivio” in Italian translates to TIBERIO archive). The four biotypes have been named after our estate’s dogs, that are as much a part of our family’s history as the wines we make. The story of Azienda Agricola Tiberio rings Differences between the four biotypes are numerous, but these can be generalized more like a new world tale than one from in: one biotype is characterized by smaller round berries with thicker skins that the old world of the ancient lands reach full physiologic polyphenol ripeness with greater ease, Tione98 ; a second beneath the Majella and Gran Sasso biotype that has grapes with thin skins (and therefore a lower skin to pulp ratio mountains in Abruzzo.
