    WINE NO. 1 Margins Counoise 96% Counoise + 4% Mourvèdre Sattler’s Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley, California 2020 RE-ORDER: $27 GRAPE: COUNOISE [ku-nwaz ] Counoise is a unique menu item from the Southern Rhône, not typically served à la carte but as a spicy ingredient added to blends. It is one of the 13 grapes allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but it makes up barely a fraction of its vines. There are only a handful of plantings in California, but as it is vigorous and loves the warm and semi-arid Rhône valley, it may be catching on. It is sort of a goldilocks grape, not too dark in color, not too high in acid, tannin or alcohol, and that hint of cracked pepper is juuuust right. WINEMAKER: Margins’ name reflects the idea that vineyards, grapes, and regions can be outcasts just like underrepresented folks in society. Margins is the work of Megan Bell, seeking to give much deserved attention to the “other” vineyards and varietals throughout northern California. Her small project is based in the Santa Cruz Mountains but she has experience all over the world: apprenticing in Napa, Livermore Valley, Willamette Valley, New Zealand, and the Loire Valley, and receiving a BS in Vit and Enology from UC Davis. She works with growers to transition to organic farming by providing informed advice, and assurance that their grapes have a home in her cellar. The Counoise comes from Ed Sattler’s 2.7 acre backyard vineyard planted in 2009 - a hot, dry site with an intense diurnal swing (and not quite enough elevation to make it in the SCM AVA.) They’ve been converting to organic and this is one of Megan’s proudest accomplishments.

Overview Dramatic pinnacles of white rock, flower-filled meadows, fir forests, and picturesque villages are all part of the renowned Italian Dolomites, protected in national and regional parks and recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The luminous limestone range is the result of geological transformation from ancient sea floor to mountaintop. The region is a landscape of grassy balconies perched above Alpine lakes, and Tyrolean hamlets nestled in lush valleys, crisscrossed by countless hiking and walking trails connecting villages, Alpine refuges, and cable cars. The Dolomites form the frontier between Germanic Northern Europe and the Latin South.

  • Florian Bergl on Lagrein
    Florian Bergl on Lagrein How do you characterize the profile/character of lagrein? Are there any other more familiar red varietals to compare it to? Lagrein ist a powerful ambassador of Alto Adige. Although it had nearly died out by the end of the 1970s, Lagrein has nowadays gained a big fan community. The indigenous wine, filled with character, has its roots in Bolzano and is impressive with its velvety fullness and soft acidity. The noble, spicy tones are accompanied by fruity berries, fresh cherries, and violets. When aged in small oak casks, Lagrein unfolds its elegant, full‐bodied presence. A rosé version is also made from the grape, known as “Lagrein Rosato” (or “Lagrein Kretzer”). The Lagrein is very similar to the Terlodego grape from Trentino. Both show not only optical similarities, such as the strong and dark colour of the wine, but also a rustic, fruity and rugged character. How does terroir and microclimates in Alto Adige come into play with lagrein? The Lagrein needs a lot of warmth for its successful ripeness. The key growing area for Lagrein lies therefore in the valley basin of Bolzano, the Capital city of Alto Adige. In the south‐facing, almost level vineyards at 850 feet above sea‐level, the vines find their ideal terroir. In combination with the sandy porphyry‐based alluvial soils, the warmth stored in the almost entirely enclosed Bolzano basin enables the grapes to achieve the full maturity that gives the wines their typical velvety mellowness. Tell me a bit about the lagrein(s) you make (that are available in the U.S.), including a personal tasting note, full name and vintage, suggested retail price and food pairing suggestion.

  • Minorities: South Tyrol in Italy
    Minorities: South Tyrol in Italy Italy and minorities Italy historically has always been a linguistically and culturally fragmented society. Because of this historical development, in Italy there have always been many regional and local differences in culture, economy and policy. Today, there is an intense concentration of minorities especially in the border regions, in the northeast and northwest of Italy, where there took place the wars and conflicts in the 20th century. Other areas with a higher concentration of minorities are the two main islands of Italy and the South of Italy where there are minorities from the Balkans or Greece. In the central part of Italy the most minorities disappeared, except Sinti and Roma communities. Today, there are twelve minorities which are recognized and protected by the Italian legislation (Article 6 of the Constitution and Law no. 482, 1999, art. 2): Albanian, Catalan, German, Greek, Slovenian, Croatian, French, French-Provençal, Friulan, Ladin, Occitan and Sardinian. About five percent of the Italian population (only territorial, regional or historical minorities; immigrants excluded) has another mother tongue than Italian (or Italian dialect). The case of South Tyrol The population of 463.000 inhabitants in 2001 consisted for the most part in 3 language groups: about 64% German speakers, about 24,5% Italian speakers, about 4% Ladin speakers and about 7,4% others. The conflict in South Tyrol is an expression of the main historical developments of the 20th century: After World War I, with the Treaty of St. Germain in 1919, the annexation of Trentino-Alto Adige by Italy took place. From 1922 onwards, the Fascists exercised an aggressive policy of Italianization towards the German- speaking population.

  • TERLANO Alto Adige
    TERLANO Alto Adige Located in the Dolomite Mountains in the foothills of the Alps, Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are key to the development of their stunning, world- renowned wines.

Lo sci di fondo è il più antico dei campionati sportivi dell’Associazione Nazionale Alpini; ed il termine Antico è sinonimo di Vecio quindi per tutti noi alpini un gran complimento ma anche indice di ri- spetto.

  • Luscious Lagrein Words Dan Traucki
    1 LUSCIOUS LAGREIN WORDS DAN TRAUCKI Recently while attending a meeting of The Blackwood Winemakers and Brewers Club Inc., a good friend of mine opened up a bottle of Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Lagrein 2012 and it was divine – so silky smooth and very elegant, having lost its youthful aggressiveness, yet with plenty of life in front of it. It was that wine that led me to write this article as it has been six years since I first wrote about Lagrein. Lagrein is the exciting native Italian red variety which originates from the cool climate, Trentino-Alto Adige area of northern Italy. It was first “mentioned in dispatches” in the records of an Abbey, in the Lagarina Valley of Trentino, not far from the city of Bolzano back in the seventeenth century. Until fairly recently, Lagrein had not really strayed away from home, but lately it has started gaining favour in Australia, with a smattering also appearing in New Zealand and in the USA. There are small plantings of Lagrein in the Central Coast region of California being used mainly for blending with Shiraz (Syrah) and Durif (Petit Syrah) with only one or two straight varietal wines made so far. In Oregon there are some very small plantings in the Willamette Valley and Umpqua Valley, where it is showing great promise. Since I first wrote about Lagrein in 2013, there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of wineries growing the variety here in Australia. It is now up to 40 spread from the Queensland Granite Belt up north, to Tassie down south, then across from Alpine Victoria in the east, over to its main abode, South Australia.
