It remains at least 24 months on the yeast and is a zero dosage. Tasting Note: Erpacrife Bianco is crisp, sparkling Italian wine in its own class. The blend of the four classic Piedmontese white grapes cortese, erbaluce, timorasso and moscato gives the wine an incomparable balance. Alc: 13 % Producer Information The name Erpacrife comes from the initials of its four creators: Erik Dogliotti, Paolo Stella, Cristian Calatroni and Federico Scarzello. Together they started the "Erpacrife” project in 1999 after their graduation from the oenological school of Alba when these young wine makers decided to create a product together. After numerous experiments done on different grapes for their sparkling base, they identified the very few that actually work. Unlike their counterparts, Erpacrife uses only the classic champagne method to make wines that accurately represent the indigenous grapes from the land which they are proud of. Their aim was to create fine sparkling wines from grapes that were totally different to those traditionally used. Nebbiolo for their rosato and Erbaluce, Cortese, Timorasso and Moscato Bianco for their bianco. The first vintage, 2000, came into circulation at the end of 2003. There were only 500 bottles made. The 2009 vintage produced five thousand bottles - ten years of experiments, problems, determination and successes. The vineyard is located in Castagnole Lanze in Langhe-Piemonte, on 305 meters (1000 feet) elevation. .

Piedmont (Piemonte)
Piedmont (Piemonte) growing occurs south of the Po Valley, in the provinces of Asti, Alessandria, and Cuneo. Within these provinces, the Monferrato and Langhe hills are planted with vineyards. Soils are predominantly calcareous marl and sandstone with varying percentages of clay and sand, Piedmont has a continental climate and the Alps to the north produce effect, In the Langhe and Monferrato hills, many of the best south facing vineyards planted with Nebbiolo are known as in the Piedmontese dialect,. Varietals Nebbiolo, is thin-skinned & produces wines of high acidity and tannin. The late-ripening Nebbiolo, together with Dolcetto and Barbera are the principal Piedmontese red grapes. Dolcetto, is the earliest to ripen and produces tannic, fruity wines, lower in acid and are suited to producing wines suitable for youthful consumption. Barbera is widely planted red grape. It has high acidity but low tannin. Other lesser indigenous red grapes of Piedmont include Brachetto, Grignolino, Ruchè, Croatina, Vespolina, and Freisa. varietal and is used in the production of the sparkling wines of Asti. Cortese, Arneis, Erbaluce and Favorita (Vermentino) are the other white grapes of the region,( in diminishing order of importance.) International grapes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, have been planted since the 1980s, although usage of such non-traditional grapes is limited to the less-specific DOCs and IGP wines. Piedmont has more DOC zones than any other wine region in Italy at the close of 2010, there were 16 DOCGs and over The most prestigious DOCGs in Piedmont are Barolo & Barbaresco, which are located along the Tanaro River, an area surrounded by the larger Langhe DOC.

A chemical model of the acid-base properties is optimized for each white wine under study, together with the calculation of their ionic strength, taking into account the contributions of all significant ionic species (strong electrolytes and weak one sensitive to the chemical equilibria). Coupling the HPLC-IEC and HPLC-RP methods, we are able to quantify up to 12 carboxylic acids, the most relevant substances responsible of the acid-base equilibria of wine. The analytical concentration of carboxylic acids and of other acid-base active substances was used as input, with the total acidity, for the chemical modelling step of the study based on the contemporary treatment of overlapped protonation equilibria. New protonation constants were refined (L-lactic and succinic acids) with respect to our previous investigation on red wines.

WINE GRAPE GLOSSARY by Anthony J
WINE GRAPE & FRUIT VARIETIES ACAI (pronounced ah - SIGH -ee): Famed fruit of the Amazon. The wine captures the tropical floral nuances of blueberry, raspberry and pomegranate enveloped by aromas of almond and vanilla. AIRÉN is a white grape variety of Vitis vinifera. This grape is native to Spain where it represents about 30% of all grapes grown. Once known as the world’s most produced grape, as trends in Spanish wine production have moved towards red wine, a huge number of Airéns vines are being uprooted, not least because the grape often produces an acidic and characterless wine. A consequence of this is that its principal use has generally been in the manufacture of brandy. ALBARINO (Ahl-ba-REE-n'yo): Expressive aromas of citrus and stone fruits tied to a spine of vibrant acidity are common, making Albariño a wine that pairs wonderfully with seafood, especially shellfish. An ethereal saline quality is often described in young Albariños. Albariño represents one of a growing segment of good value wines from Spain, is frequently a fresh and crisp choice. ALICANTE BOUSCHET (Ah-lee-KAHNT Boo-SHAY) - Red-wine grape of Southern France and California's Central Valley, usually used in hearty jug wines. It is a cross of Petit Bouschet and Grenache. Its deep color makes it useful for blending with light red wine. The wines produced by the grape alone typically aren't of the highest quality and tend to be flabby, lacking character and complexity. AGLIANICO (ah-LYAH-nee-koh): Along with Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, Aglianico is considered one of Italy’s three noble grape varietals.

Our Regions: PIEDMONT
OUR REGIONS PIEDMONT FAST FACTS TOTAL AREA: GRAPE VARIETIES: Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Arneis, Chardonnay, Cortese, Moscato, Sauvingnon, Timorasso TOTAL WINE PRODUCTION: 2,043 hl APPELLATIONS: Alta Langa DOCG, Asti DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, Barbera d'Alba DOC, Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Barolo DOCG, Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, Gavi DOCG, Langhe DOC, Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC, Roero DOCG PRODUCERS ENRICO SERAFINO, MARCHESI DI GRESY, VIETTI, ELENA PENNA OVERVIEW Piedmont is the home of Barolo and Barbaresco. If you're a lover of Italian wine, you're probably on the edge of your seat already. Barolo and its less flashy sibling Barbaresco are two of Italy's greatest wines, reasons enough to get to know Piedmont. But there are many other terrific wines made in the hills surrounding those two marquee wine towns, too, and Piedmont is unquestionably in the top two or three most important wine regions in the country. In general, American vacationers visiting Italy don't usually spend a lot of time in Piedmont, which has few of the major touristic attractions that draw people to some of the other regions. Piedmont doesn't have any coastline, for example. It has comparatively few ancient ruins or Renaissance masterpieces, and warm sunny days are in short supply relative to most other regions. What it has in abundance are views of the Alps (on a clear day, anyway) and delicious wines. History: The most notable aspect of Piedmont's history is the area's long, close association with neighboring France, specifically the area of Savoy. Much of Piedmont came under the control of the Count of Savoy early in the 11th century, at a time when most of Europe was fragmented into small principalities.
