The modern version of the beverage was first produced in the mid-18th century in Turin, Italy. In the late-19th century, vermouth became popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in many classic cocktails which have survived to date, including the Martini, the Manhattan, and the Negroni.

Sci., 26(2), 441–444 In the period 2014-2016, at the experimental vineyard of the Institute of Agriculture and Seed Science “Obraztsov Chiflik” – Rousse, the resistance of hybrid wine grape breeding forms to downy mildew with causative agent Plasmopara viticola (Berkeley et Curtis) oomycetes fungus was studied. Objects of the study were the hybrids: 25/12 (Pamid Rousse 1 × Kaylash- ki Misket), 5/51 (Naslada × Chardonnay) and 5/83 (Naslada x Chardonnay). Misket Otonel cultivar was chosen as control. The aim was the reaction of hybrid wine breeding forms of vine to downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola (Berkeley et Curtis) to be determined. The phytopathological assessment of the attack of Plasmopara viticola on leaves was carried out according to the OIV 452 scale, and on berries and clusters – according to the OIV 453 scale, where the resistance was represented in 5 grades 1-3-5-7-9, as 1 was maximum resistance. The following traits were registered: index of attack (%), correlation coefficient between disease progression and yield obtained, weight of cluster (kg), maturation period, sugar content (%), acid content (g/l).

  • Hatton Daniels​|​Ros​É​ of Dornfelder
    Hatton Daniels|Rosé of Dornfelder ​ ​ ​ ​ Mokelumne Glen Vineyard |Mokelumne River AVA ​ ​ The Story: This is a true story of expecting to kiss a frog and ​ finding beautiful wines and great people. Hatton Daniels is a tiny Napa winery working with unusual varietals: Dornfelder, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and Malvasia Bianco, in addition to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dan Fishman is the winemaker, who in 2007 worked at Calvert Woodley Fine Wine & Spirits in DC. He makes some of the most interesting California wines we have tasted in a long time. Production ranges from 25-115 cases so there is not much to go around, but they are worth seeking out. Vineyard: Mokelumne Glen Vineyard in Lodi, CA. Viticultural ​ ​ practices include cane pruning (seldom used in the Lodi area) and expanded vertical trellis, and a dual irrigation system utilizing the most favorable benefits of both drip and sprinkler. Grapes harvested prior to full maturity for fresh rose acidity. Vinification: Clusters were pressed directly after harvest, ​ squeezed very gently, only using about 60% of the total potential juice to ensure light color and delicate flavors. The wine was then fermented with native yeast in old oak barrels, and ultimately transferred to a used 500L puncheon for aging. Malolactic fermentation was prevented in order to preserve the beautiful, fresh acidity. Ageing: Aged 3 months in barrel. ​ ​ Everything else you want to know about this wine: The wine was bottled without fining or filtration. For this ​ reason it often throws a sediment, or even so-called “wine-diamonds,” the crystals of tartaric acid that form when the wine is chilled.

  • 2013 Cambiata Dornfelder, Santa Lucia Highlands
    2013 Dornfelder Unconventional and Iconoclastic Cambiata is not your average California winery. We are a little more unconventional and iconoclastic than our compatriots around the Golden State. I launched Cambiata in 2002 after making wines for other people for nearly two decades. My intention was to produce distinctive bottlings that go beyond the Franco triumvirate of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone. Today, we are vinifying a handful of compelling wines from some of California’s scarcest grape varieties including Albariño, Tannat and Dornfelder. We also make limited quantities of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Enjoy. What The Hell? Walk past the rows of meticulously manicured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to the top of the McIntyre Estate Vineyard and you’ll find a single acre of strange-looking vines bearing long, loose clusters of pitch black berries. “What the hell?” you mumble to the wind. “What vintner would have the cajones to plant Dornfelder in the Santa Lucia Highlands?” Turns out, we would. We figured if the grape loves Germany so much, it should thrive in the cold, windy climate of the Salinas Valley. Kissing Cousins Dornfelder, related by marriage to Pinot Noir, is the second-most planted red grape in Germany. When grown in the right location and made with labor-intensive, artisan practices, it can produce a rich, age worthy, red wine that offers incredibly juicy aromatics and luscious flavors. Just like our Pinot Noir, the wine was fermented in open top fermenters with frequent punch downs of the cap. It spent approximately 14 months in 100% French oak barrels (40% new) prior to bottling.

  • Dornfelder Rheinhessen 2011
    ESTATE DORNFELDER RHEINHESSEN 2011 Albrecht Schneider’s maxim has always been absolute devotion to his vineyards and wines, whilst marketing was considered less important. He had to take over the “reigns” at an early age in 1967 after his apprenticeship at the Langwerth von Simmern estate, and even in those early days, he realized that only healthy soils could allow the cultivation of fine wines, and began with interrow crops while modernizing from horse to special light trac- tor. The estate has been owned by the Schneider family for 7 generations, and today at vintage time, three gen- erations are at work.

  • 45. REASONS for WINE TOURISM in BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O
    45. REASONS FOR WINE TOURISM IN BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O. Veres National University of Food Technologies Wine tourism industry in Western Europe, especially in France and Italy are much more developed than in Bulgaria. But this is not due to the quality of drinks. Geographically, Bulgaria is located in the same climate zone as Spain, France and Italy - the major wine regions of the world. Just like these countries, It is considered one of the centers of cultivation of grapes. Scientists believe that the Thracians in the territory of modern Bulgaria made first wine in Europe. Eater the Greeks to find out from the Thracians secret receipt of grapes divine drink and arrogated to themselves the right of the pioneers of winemaking. Why do people prefer wine tourism not just drink wine at home what bought in the store? First of all, people should be remembered that wine, as opposed to people do not like to travel. As experts consider, in a way it can "get sick." So before the 93 entertain friends by wine from faraway countries, give him a chance to "rest" at least a week. The beauty of wine tourism is not sightseeing. Meeting people who produce this drink it is remains in the memory. Real manufacturer is in love with his work, and talk with them is very interesting. Some aesthetes prefer to stay in the castles of winemakers, to communicate with these eminent people. Observation of the production of wine can cause at least surprising in an untrained person. Guests can still see how the grapes are crushed underfoot in small wineries in Bulgaria.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 1/19/2018 GAIN Report Number: BU1810 Bulgaria Post: Sofia Bulgaria’s Evolving Wine Market Presents New Opportunities Report Categories: Wine Approved By: Jonn Slette Prepared By: Mila Boshnakova Report Highlights: Post forecasts Bulgaria’s 2017 grape crop at 250,000 metric tons (MT), most of which will be used to produce about 140 million liters of commercial wine. The Bulgarian wine sector continues to evolve, driven by investments in the sector, increasing disposable incomes, tourism, and thriving retail and hotel, restaurant, and catering (HORECA) sectors. Wine consumption increased in 2016 and consumer trends point to a growing preference for higher- quality wines. January-October 2017 data indicate a 24-percent increase in wine imports by volume and 21 percent by value. Poland, Sweden, China, and Russia were the top export markets for Bulgarian wine (value terms) in 2016 and in 2017. General Information: PRODUCTION FAS Sofia estimates that Bulgaria’s 2017 grape harvest will reach 250,000 MT, of which about 210,000 MT will be processed into 140 million liters of commercial wine. Other estimates predict that grape production will reach 350,000 MT and 150 million liters of commercial wine. At the end of November 2017 (source: Ministry of Agriculture (MinAg) Weekly Bulletin #49), harvest reports estimated 47,800 hectares (HA) yielded 238,000 MT of grapes, with an average yield of about 5.0 MT/HA. Weather during the year was mixed.
