L.A. CETTO Baja California, Mexico Founded in 1928 by Luis Angelo Cetto, L.A. Cetto is one of the oldest and largest producers of wine in the Baja California region of Mexico. Luis Angelo was born in Trento, Italy and was eager to continue to make wine when he arrived in the New World, but quickly discovered that he needed to adapt his techniques to a new climate. After years of experimentation and initial bottlings of fortified wine, Luis Angelo found his stride and became well known as a thriving pioneer of this region. In 1963, Luis Angelo retired and his son Augustin took the reins. He modernized the winery with updated equipment and began to focus on exploring the microclimates of the Guadalupe Valley, discovering which varieties grew best in each area. Today Augustin's son, Luis Alberto, who grew up at the winery and literally took his first steps in the vineyard, is the third generation of the Cettos to run the family business. He is an advocate for Mexican wine culture and travels the country to mentor smaller Products wineries while continuing to stay up to speed with modern winemaking and viticulture innovations at home. Sebastián Suárez has been the winemaker at L.A. Cetto for the Sparkling Brut (NV) past six years and has extensive knowledge and experience in international Sauvignon Blanc winemaking. Due to their mutliple microclimates, L.A. Cetto makes a wide variety of Chardonnay wines from sparkling wines to aromatic, full-bodied white wines and of course rich, Chenin Blanc age-worthy reds, including a Private Reserve Nebbiolo, a special homage to the heritage of Don Luis Angelo's birthplace. L.A. Cetto is recognized internationally and Primavera Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon its wine have earned over 530 awards obtained in more than 15 countries such as Tempranillo Sierra Blanca Valle de Guadalupe France, Italy, Spain, England, Canada and the United States including the award of 11 double oro!

Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

Review of Smoke Taint in Wine: Smokederived Volatile Phenols And
Krstic et al. Review of smoke taint in wine 537 Review of smoke taint in wine: smoke-derived volatile phenols and their glycosidic metabolites in grapes and vines as biomarkers for smoke exposure and their role in the sensory perception of smoke taint M.P. KRSTIC1, D.L. JOHNSON2 and M.J. HERDERICH2 1 The Australian Wine Research Institute,Victorian Node, Mooroolbark, Vic. 3138, Australia; 2 The Australian Wine Research Institute, Urrbrae, SA 5064, Australia Corresponding author: Dr Mark Krstic, email [email protected] Abstract In recent years, the exposure of vineyards and grapes to smoke from bushﬁres and controlled burn events has in some instances resulted in wines described as smoke tainted. Such wines are characterised by undesirable sensory characters described as smoky, burnt, ash, smoky bacon, medicinal and ashtray. This review summarises the knowledge about the composition of smoke from forest and grass ﬁres, describes relationships between smoke exposure of vineyards and smoke taint in wine, and outlines strategies for managing and reducing the risk to producing smoke-affected wines. The sensitivity of grapes and vines at different phenological stages to the uptake of contaminants from smoke, especially smoke-derived volatile phenols, is outlined, and the pathways for entry and metabolic transformation of volatile phenols are discussed. The potential for translocation of phenolic contaminants within the grapevine and the differences in uptake of smoke contaminants of different grape cultivars are also discussed, along with preliminary work on dose/response relationships regarding concentration and duration of exposure and subsequent expression of smoke taint in wine. The chemical basis of smoke taint in wine is described, and the relationship between volatile phenols from combustion of wood/lignin and their glycosides, and sensory panel ratings of smoke attributes in affected wines is discussed.

Lawrence ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Bracero Program in the growth of Sonoma and Napa County viticulture in an attempt to understand how important bracero labor was to the industry. While most histories of the Bracero Program are nationwide or statewide in scope, this study explores the regional complexities of how and why the program was used in Sonoma and Napa Counties, how both the growers and laborers in the region felt about it, and how this was different from and similar to other regions. Government documents provided the statistics necessary to determine the demographic changes in the region due to the Bracero Program. Important primary source material that provided the human side of the story includes a number of oral history interviews I conducted, the collection of Wine Industry Oral Histories, and various regional newspaper articles.

Langhe Nebbiolo Langhe DOC, Piedmont, Italy GRAPE VARIETY 100% Nebbiolo
FRANCO SERRA Langhe Nebbiolo Langhe DOC, Piedmont, Italy GRAPE VARIETY 100% Nebbiolo VINIFICATION Select grapes are hand harvested. Three weeks maceration is followed by four weeks of fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for 6 months in large oak barrels (20% new), and 3 months in bottle before release. THE WINERY Franco Serra is produced by the Sperone family who have been making affordable premium wines for four generations. In 1911, Antonio Sperone opened a small wine shop in Torino where he sold bulk wine directly to consumers. Unsatisfied with the quality and price of the local wine, Antonio started his own winery in Puglia and built a bottling facility in Torino. He was soon able to offer his customers quality wines at prices everyone could afford. Sadly, it was destroyed when the city was bombed in WWII. The winery in Puglia survived the war and enabled Antonio’s grandson Giacomo to open a new facility in 1965 near Milan where he produced vermouth, sparkling wines, spirits and fine wines. In 1983, the family purchased 75 acres of prime vineyards in Piedmont and built the current winery in the small town of Mombaruzzo just outside Monferrato. TASTING NOTE Pungent dried fruit and herbal aromas. Dry and medium-full bodied with robust tannins, bright acidity and pretty red fruits. FOOD PAIRING Excellent with aged cheeses, rich stews and full- flavored meats. 2019 91 JAMES SUCKLING 2018 90 JAMES SUCKLING SCOPERTA IMPORTING I THE MARCHETTI COMPANY 216 I 321 I 4162 9/23/2021 WWW.SCOPERTAIMPORTS.COM.

Yield Components and Fruit Composition of Five Barbera Grapevine Selections in the San Joaquin Valley, California
Research Note Yield Components and Fruit Composition of Five Barbera Grapevine Selections in the San Joaquin Valley, California Matthew W. Fidelibus,1* L. Peter Christensen,1 Deborah A. Golino,2 Nancy L. Sweet,2 and Kimberley A. Cathline1 Abstract: Barbera grapevine (Vitis vinifera) selections from Foundation Plant Services (FPS), University of California, Davis, were evaluated in Parlier, Fresno County, California. Green potted plants of Barbera, FPS selections 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06, were planted in the summer of 2000, and fruit yield and quality were assessed annually between 2003 and 2006. Selection 02 performed similarly to several other selections with respect to fruit composition and yield, but its berries were 10 to 25% heavier than the others. Large berries made the clusters of FPS 02 excessively compact; the incidence of sour rot was sometimes two to three times higher for FPS 02 than for other selections. Selections 03 and 05 originated from the same mother vine and performed identically. Their fruit composition was similar to several other selections, but they had the highest, or among the highest, yield of the selections tested and were moderately susceptible to sour rot. Selection 04 was generally similar to selections 03 and 05 except that 04 had lower yields in two of the four years tested. Selection 06 was distinctive in that it was generally the earliest ripening, had the smallest berries, the lowest yields, the lowest yield:pruning weight ratios, and was the least susceptible to sour rot. Key words: clones, fruit quality, germplasm, grapes, Vitis vinifera L. Barbera is the second most widely planted red winegrape programs in Europe where evaluation is supported with in Italy, and its tendency to produce good yields of fruit public funds.
