LA PALAZZINA WINERY: in 1986, Leonardo Montà Founded La Palazzina Winery LA PALAZZINA WINERY: In 1986, Leonardo Montà founded La Palazzina winery. The rst vintage bottled was the 1999. The estate, a 17th Century building, belongs to Leonardo’s family since the early 1930s. Leonardo learned how to take care of the vines and how to make wine from his grandmother Maria who used to work in the vineyard together with her husband Carlo. La Palazzina produces Bramaterra DOC (80% Nebbiolo and 20% Croatina, Vespolina, Uva Rara) and Coste della Sesia DOC Rosso (50% Nebbiolo and 50% Croatina, Vespolina, Uva Rara) wines, both belonging to the Nebbiolo wines of the Alto Piemonte region. The Palazzina vineyard extends 4 hectares over the hills of Roasio, Brusnengo and Sostegno at 350 m a.s.l.. Here, the volcanic soil rich in minerals is ideal for cultivating the Nebbiolo, Croatina, Vespolina and Uva rara native grape varieties. The vines are aged between 10 and 70 years old, with a yield of 40 quintals per hectare. The average annual production is 8000-10.000 bottles. The Guyot system is used for pruning. The grape growing is run with special attention to environment, following the guidelines of sustainable agriculture. Winemaking is done in a traditional way, without additives or corrections, with a minimum sultes content. The grapes are hand harvested into small cases. After the destemming and the pressing process, fermentation with maceration takes place in concrete or steel tanks for about 2 weeks for Coste della Sesia, 3 weeks for Bramaterra, with daily pumping over and breaking up of the cap. Then Bramaterra DOC wines are aged in big Slavonian oak tanks for 22/48 months (18 months for Coste della Sesia DOC Rosso) where, during the rst summer, the malolactic fermentation takes place naturally. The wine is then bottled and kept for a minimum of 3 to 12 months prior to distribution in order to optimize the wine ripening process, in keeping with La Palazzina’s primary goal of obtaining the maximum quality of its wines.

  • Prefettura Di Biella Ufficio Territoriale Del Governo
    Prefettura di Biella Ufficio Territoriale del Governo COMUNICATO STAMPA Consegnati in Prefettura i Piani Intercomunali di Protezione Civile redatti dall’Unione dei Comuni del Biellese Orientale Nella mattinata odierna si è svolta in Prefettura una riunione con i Sindaci dei Comuni facenti parte dell’Unione Montana dei Comuni del Biellese Orientale (Ailoche, Bioglio, Callabiana, Camandona, Caprile, Casapinta, Coggiola, Cossato, Crevacuore, Curino, Lessona, Mosso, Pettinengo, Piatto, Portula, Pray, Soprana, Sostegno, Strona, Trivero, Valdengo, Vallanzengo, Valle San Nicolao, Valle Mosso, Veglio) in cui sono stati illustrati e consegnati ufficialmente ai predetti Amministratori i Piani Intercomunali di Protezione Civile. I suddetti Piani, elaborati dalla stessa Unione a costo zero a cura dei propri tecnici, costituiscono per la provincia di Biella un significativo esempio di elaborazione concertata della pianificazione, in un’ottica di area vasta e di visione organica e completa del territorio in cui le conoscenze e le risorse si integrano a vicenda. Alla presenza del Presidente dell’Unione e del rappresentante della Provincia, il Prefetto di Biella, Annunziata Gallo, ha colto l’occasione per sottolineare l’importanza che i Piani comunali di emergenza rivestono nella prevenzione degli eventi di rischio sul territorio, nella gestione delle emergenze e nell’informazione delle popolazioni. Essi rappresentano un indispensabile strumento concreto, dinamico e di facile consultazione, perché il Sindaco possa gestire le situazioni emergenziali del proprio territorio. Nella circostanza la novità interessante dei Piani intercomunali elaborati è stata quella di prevedere azioni di supporto e di scambio vicendevoli quando un Comune si trovi nell’impossibilità di funzionare perché direttamente colpito da un evento di rischio. Nella riunione è stato presentato anche il Geoportale cartografico dei comuni dell’Unione, che può essere un utile strumento di consultazione e di conoscenza del territorio, anche in materia di pianificazioni di protezione civile.

  • Oltrepó Pavese, What's Beyond the Pinot Sparklings and the Bulk Wines
    Oltrepó pavese, what’s beyond the Pinot sparklings and the bulk wines Posted on September 11, 2020 by The Italian Wine Girl on her blog https://theitalianwinegirl.com (Click here to read the full article) The Oltrepò Pavese wine region is one of Italy’s most neglected – many wine connoisseurs don’t even know about it. Located only 50 miles south of Milan, the area produces huge quantities of the pinot nero grape and in the past it has always been seen more as a viticulture area (mostly for mass production of cask wines and grapes) than as a specific wine region with a defined identity. That’s also why it is often neglected by tourists and wine lovers in favor of more renowned locations such as Tuscany and Piedmont, and as a result, is quiet, beautiful and authentic. And all to discover. Come with me to learn what’s going on in Oltrepò pavese, among native varieties to be revamped and young winemakers looking for a new identity, beyond the sparklings. The name Oltrepò Pavese derives from the region’s position on ‘the other side’ (the South) of the Po, a river that dominates the large plain between the Alps and the Apennines of Northern Italy, the Pianura Padana. A little to the north of the Po lies the small historical city of Pavia (hence pavese) and bit further north still is the world-famous capital of finance, fashion and design, Milan. If Pavia and Milan lie in the plain, the Oltrepò is characterized by hills and mountains, making it ideal for the cultivation of grapes.

  • Gaggiano “Timoteo” Gattinara DOCG
    Artisanal Cellars artisanalcellars.com [email protected] Gaggiano “Timoteo” Gattinara DOCG Winery: Gaggiano Category: Wine – Still – Red Grape Variety: 100 % Nebbiolo Region: Gattinara / Alto Piedmonte/ Italy Vineyard: from small plot in Gattinaras historic production area of Galizia. Winery established: 2014 Feature: Sustainable Product Information Soil: Large blocks of red-brown colored quartz with porphyry crystals. Some of the region’s most distinctively acidic soils. Elevation: 270-380 meters (890 – 1250 feet) Age of vines: about 40 years old Vinification: Harvested in early October. Destemmed and crushed. Fermented in stainless steel vats with pumping over and délestage. Macerated 24 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place during the following springtime, in wood. Aged 35 months, 24 in second passage tonneaux. Yield: 0.9 kg/plant. Tasting Note: Ruby color with brick-red reflections. On the nose, hints of red fruit and balsamic. On the palate the wine is elegant and pleasant, with tannins still lively. The wine is dedicated to the eldest son of the Fabris family Alc: 13 % vol. Producer Information In northeastern Piemonte, wines from Nebbiolo are produced in a set of townships known as Alto Piemonte. To call the region a geological treasure is to introduce a high drama going back 280 million years, to the spectacular effluvia of the Sesia supervolcano and its subsequent collapse. Continental collisions then churned the volcano’s remains, and after that the glaciers entered the stage, dragging the whole cornucopia slowly across the land, leaving behind distinct pockets of varied soil types—and one of the most fascinating subzonal discussions in wine. The potential of the Alto Piemonte terroirs was well known in the nineteenth century, when the wine culture of Barolo and Barbaresco, with their less-acidic soils, was still being born.
