    Bibi Graetz Wines, the Name Is Very Evocative, “Casa-Matta”: the “Crazy-House”, Is Our Bright and Approachable Version of White Tuscan Blend

    BI BI GRAETZ CASAMATTA Bianco 2016 The “Crazy-House” Like most of Bibi Graetz wines, the name is very evocative, “Casa-Matta”: the “Crazy-House”, is our bright and approachable version of white Tuscan blend. The Vermentino brings freshness, the Moscato Bianco elevate the aromatics and Trebbiano increase the balance and the harmony of the blend. Winemaker’s Tasting Notes Vermentino 60%, Trebbiano 30%, Moscato Bianco 10% “When I drink Casamatta Bianco I’m immediately projected on the Tuscan coast. This is a wine that reflects the soil, the sun and the perfumes of Maremma. The first impression is the floral notes of Moscato, orange and peach flowers, then in the palate you have the citrus of the Vermentino, pear and exotic fruits” Bibi Graetz Vintage 2016: the growing season After a great 2015, the expectation of having another sensational vintage were very low, usually it’s hard to have 2 great vintages one after the other. What we realized with the 2016 is that this is not the case. This vintage is at the same level of 2015 and someone says it’s even better! Very cold winter, with some touches of snow guaranteed, with a mild and sunny spring, perfect conditions for the develop of the plants. The summer was a bit warmer then 2015 with only few days of rain in the beginning of August and the harvest period was fully insolated and anticipated to the 12th of September. Vinification and Ageing Casamatta Bianco is produced from the vineyards of Capalbio, south of Tuscany in Maremma. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel tanks, destammed and softpressed with dry ice.

    COLLELEVA Country: Italy Region: Marche Appellation(s): Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Producer: Colleleva Founded: 1984 Annual Production: 12,500 cases Farming: Sustainable As with every region in Italy, the Marche is a world all unto itself. On Italy’s less traveled Adriatic coast, in between Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo, the Marche is relatively sparsely populated, and largely composed of gently rolling hills, green with agriculture, that end along steep limestone bluffs on the coast. This is the home of the Verdicchio grape, whose name comes from the root verde, describing both the greenish hue of the grapes and the resulting wine. The Castelli di Jesi DOC is one of the largest of the zones in which Verdicchio is grown and surrounds the town of Jesi and its ancient fortifications. The vineyards of Colleleva (Colle “hill”, and si Leva, “rises”) lie on the heights of the Marche: about halfway between the Apennine mountains and the coastline of the Adriatic Sea. The combination of eastern sun exposure and the cooling winds from the Adriatic provide an optimal microclimate for balancing ripeness with fresh acidity in the grapes. Verdicchio, also known as Trebbiano di Soave, has been cultivated in the Marche for many centuries. It is capable of making vibrantly fresh and crisp white wines that are a wonderful accompaniment to seafood. The Riserva bottlings can age gracefully. From Colleleva we have a wine in the former camp. During a tasting trip in the Marche, their stainless steel tank vinified Verdicchio was one of the stars among many, many wines tasted. The perfume is entrancing—at once fresh and rounded, and typical of the grape.

    92 Wine Tech Pinot Gris Speech.Indd

    January 1992–Wine Tech THE EMERGENCE OF PINOT GRIS Speech by David Lett Good morning and what a gawd-awful early hour it is. I generally don’t deal with anything heavier than a cup of tea at 8:45 in the morning. But...this was the hour assigned me for dealing with the subject of “ e Emergence of Pinot gris”. Originally I was to have shared this time with two other Oregon producers of Pinot gris in order to fi ll the hour, so you will be relieved to know that my comments will not go for the full hour this morning. Actually, Pinot gris is still in its “emergence” stage both in terms of the number of acres planted and marketability, but I will attempt to fi ll in as many details of as many aspects of Pinot gris that I know of from having grown it for 27 years. For starters let me give you a bit of history of the Pinot gris vine in Europe and the U.S. e origins of Pinot gris are apparently to be found in the Burgundy region of France where it is known as Pinot Beurot. It used to be widely interplanted among Pinot noir and was used in the Pinot noir to soften its sometimes rough edges. ere are at least two producers of Pinot gris (or Beurot) that I know of in Burgundy today. One is Phillipe Senard who I believe labels it simply as Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc. Pinot gris was also grown in the Champagne region.

    Fattoria Di Fubbiano • Lucca with Its 45 Hectares of Woods and Wild Flowers, Olive Groves, and Vineyards, Fattoria Di Fubbiano Is a Farm of Many Shapes and Sizes

    Fattoria di Fubbiano • Lucca With its 45 hectares of woods and wild flowers, olive groves, and vineyards, Fattoria di Fubbiano is a farm of many shapes and sizes. Marco Corsini was born at Fattoria di Fubbiano where his father, Sauro, made wine in the 1960s and 1970s. Although Marco and Sauro are not the official owners of the estate, they are the core and soul of Fubbiano; it is their work and home. The ownership of Fubbiano changed hands in the mid-1990s when Mr. Schiller, a Swiss-German businessman, bought the property. He became an enhancer, a doer of good for the workers and the land of Fubbiano. Together, with Sauro and Marco, they restored the estate's original buildings, preserving their unique architectural character and offering guests a place to stay for extended visits. They also constructed a new state-of-the-art gravity flow winery (in 2009), complete with "shiny new toys" for controlled fermentation and proper cask aging. The last two decades at Fubbiano, have undoubtedly been a successful marriage of tradition and technology. Marco Corsini directs a team of more than twenty, individual caretakers of the farm. His stance on organics is firm, "At Fubbiano we are committed to nurture the exceptional agricultural potential of our property by developing exciting groves and vines and diversifying our products, while promoting indigenous varieties of olives and grapes. We strongly believe in maintaining the delicate balance of a biological ecosystem and only use traditional organic products to protect our vines from diseases. Weed-killers or insecticides are never applied." Fortunate by nature and by his forward-thinking vision, Marco is never bored.
