  • Vinitaly Presents World Premier Tasting of Two New Wines Made from Endangered Italian Grape Varietals. Verona, 1 April
    Press Release Contacts: For Immediate Release Vinitaly International International Media Dept. +39 045 8101447 [email protected] www.vinitalytour.com Twitter: @VinitalyTour Join Vinitaly International Network on LinkedIn Vinitaly presents world premier tasting of two new wines made from endangered Italian grape varietals. Verona, 1 April - Visitors to the 48th edition of Vinitaly, the world’s largest wine event held each April in Verona, will experience a rare moment of wine history; attendees of the Executive Wine Seminar on indigenous grapes, on Monday, April 7th at 3:30pm, will witness the ‘rebirth’ of two nearly extinct native varietals as the Vinitaly International Academy (VIA) proudly presents the world premiere tasting of two brand new wines. As VIA scientific director Ian D’Agata explains, “These are the first single-variety expressions of two indigenous grape varietals that have been almost completely forgotten - the Roussin de Morgex from the Valle d’Aosta, and San Lunardo from the island of Ischia in Campagna - which will see the light for the first time in centuries, at Vinitaly in Verona, thanks to the VIA.” “Ian has dedicated more than 20 years to the study of the native grapes of Italy, and has travelled with us to share that research with the VIA Executive Wine Seminars in New York and Chengdu,” explains Vinitaly International Managing Director Stevie Kim. “When it comes to Italian grape varietals, Ian D’Agata is an expert on an international level – at Vinitaly he will present his new book, The Native Wine Grapes of Italy, which represents the most extensive study of the subject.” The Roussin de Morgex is a long-forgotten traditional grape from the Valle d’Aosta that was revived by the cooperative winery Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et La Salle, and the Institut Régional Agricole (IAR), an organization that safeguards native grapes of the valley.

  • Greco Di Tufo Fiano-Falanghina-Aglianico Campania Paoloboselli.Com - August 2016 TORRICINO
    TORRICINO Greco di Tufo Fiano-Falanghina-Aglianico Campania paoloboselli.com - August 2016 TORRICINO The Torricino estate is located outside the township of Tufo in the Avellino province in Campania. The town- ship of Tufo is named for the tufaceous, volcanic soil that the town is built on and has given its name to the ap- pellation, Greco di Tufo. The property takes its title from an old medieval tower neighboring the eleven acre vineyard (4.5 ha). Torricino is owned by the Di Marzo family and grows and bottles Greco di Tufo (D.O.C.G.), Fiano di Avellino (D.O.C.G.), and Aglianico (I.G.T.). The Di Marzo family has been deeply involved in the economic and agricultural life of Tufo for nearly 150 years. In 2002 Stefano Di Marzo (born in 1977) completed his training in agronomy and oenology and decided to commit Torricino to a policy of rigorous selection to bring out all the character and personality of his Greco di Tufo. Stefano believes that it is the land that makes the difference. In Tufo, sulphur mines discovered in 1866 and owned by his ancestors have been the eco- nomic backbone of the town. Stefano, who inherited from his parents Vintantonio & Vincenzina an enormous love and passion for his land, inherited also a unique “terroir” where the mines of sulphur play an important role; in fact his Greco shows intriguing hints of sulphur perfumes. The Greco di Tufo grape was brought from Thessalonica in Greece (near modern day Macedonia) to Magna Grecia in Southern Italy by the Pelasgian people over two millennia ago and cultivated by the Romans in the centuries that followed.

Roccamonfina – inactive volcano Vesuvius Campi Flegree Fertile alluvial soils in lowlands + Soils: Pre -Appennines – Monte Lattari – Limestone – Sorrentine Peninsula, Amalfi and Cilento. Aventine hills near Avellino are schist and clay, limestone + Climate: Temperate & mild in winter with hot, dry summers on coast In Irpinia more continental weather, more rain + Grape Varieties 46% White Wines We will not taste but you should look for: Pallagrello Native Coda di Volpe Bianco Varieties Forastera Asprinio Greco di Falanghina Tufo Pepella Ginestra Fenile Fiano Biancolella d’Avellino + Falanghina Falanghina is thought to be of Greek origin and was first mentioned in 1825 Falanghina Beneventana and Falanghina Flegrea.

Several other varieties are neither identified were analysed with 8 microsatellite markers (VVS2, nor described. VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD25, VVMD27, VVMD31, In the present study DNA microsatellite markers (or sim- VrZAG62 and VrZAG79) in order to evaluate their genetic ple sequence repeats, SSRs) were used to compare and to diversity and relationships.

Interesting in the genome, high polymorphism, co-dominant Mendelian cases of synonymy, i.e. Greco di Tufo and Asprinio, Palum- inheritance, reproducibility and ease of scoring made them mina and Piedirosso, and homonymy were disclosed. ideal markers for several applications, including scion and Pairwise genetic distances were calculated between all rootstock genotype identification (THOMAS and SCOTT 1993, cultivars.
