We also joined with a number of our other colleagues from this event to hold a trade tasting at The Bentley Bar and Restaurant on the Monday following Mental Notes. We are now gearing up for the other two major events on the natural wine calendar – Rootstock in Sydney and Soul For Wine in Melbourne. We are delighted that both Tony and Philippe Bornard will be attending Rootstock this year. To celebrate their visit we will be holding two very special events. The first will be a late lunch in Hobart at Franklin Restaurant and the second will be a dinner at the wonderful Bar Brosé in Sydney which will be cooked by Analeise Gregory as described below. And now to the special packs. We have a rather long story on the Côte de Beaune and a 6 pack of wines selected from that region of Burgundy. We have a special dozen comprised of wines that include very rare grape varieties that we like to seek out from the hidden corners of France. There is a pack of wines from our winemaker of the month, namely Domaine les Grandes Vignes from the Loire Valley.

  • Santa Cecilia 2008 Now Is DOC Noto
    Santa Cecilia 2008 now is DOC Noto If we imagine Santa Cecilia to be like a ship that has sailed for twelve years to reach Sicily, then here with the 2008 vintage and the new DOC Noto , we can imagine that the ship has found a mooring in the most beautiful and safest harbour that exists; also full of history, appeal and tradition. At last we can use the DOC Noto , thanks to which we can place on the label the name which represents the chosen territory of Nero d’Avola , the noble grape from which this wine is wholly produced. The new disciplinary of the DOC Noto was completed in January 2008 and was created with the intention of uniting the two historic grapes of the area, Moscato di Noto and Nero d’Avola , which between Pachino and the country to the south of Noto have been known for centuries. Two vines that can provide strength to the territory under a single name, DOC Noto. Planeta has always wished for a DOC Noto and has always considered it fundamental to be able to communicate the importance of the territory of origin of their wine. Noto, that today can also boast the prestigious title of a UNESCO Heritage Site. Noto and Nero d’Avola, Noto and the baroque, and Noto and its Passito are a single entity. We are firmly convinced that the DOC Noto and Nero d’Avola will become similar to that of Montalcino and Sangiovese; a unique area, extraordinary and without equal. Santa Cecilia storytelling In 1997 we decided to make wine from nero d’Avola grapes with a small addition of syrah , from our vineyard in Menfi and Sambuca di Sicilia.

  • Viticultural Factors and Resveratrol in Grapes and Wine
    BAVARESCO ET AL., FATTORI VITICOLI E RESVERATROLO NELL’UVA E NEL VINO, PAG. 1 VITICULTURAL FACTORS AND RESVERATROL IN GRAPES AND WINE Luigi BAVARESCO, Matteo GATTI, Maria Isabel van Zeller de Macedo Basto GONÇALVES Istituto di Frutti-Viticoltura, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore , Piacenza, Italia Introduction In recent time the relation between food and health has been the subject of a considerable amount of media interest highlighting in particular how the second is deeply influenced by the first. It is primarily the medical profession who is leading in the direction of understanding this relation, in particular the risks of certain habits, aware of the need to prevent related illness not only to keep patients healthy, but also to contain the public health expenditure One of the item attracting a lot of attention is wine, a product of ancient tradition and integral part of the Italian and Mediterranean culture. It is both an ancient and modern beverage, which is neither good or bad for health, but the effect of which depends on different factors like the amount drunk or the general health of the person drinking it. This is not the place to underline the health effect of abusing wine, it is worth instead to remember its actual beneficial effect to healthy people and in moderate consumption. This last aspect, possibly already known to doctors, came to a lot of media attention about 15 years ago, when a very popular television program in the States, gave the news of an epidemiology research conducted by two French scientist (Renaud e De Lorgeril) published in 1992.

There are only a few of the magnum packs so we expect them to disappear quite quickly. We have been watching the stocks of Domaine de l’Octavin and Mylène Bru, which arrived recently disappearing out the door. We are also pleased to announce the imminent arrival of another new producer – this time from the Roussillon area close to the Spanish border. We have been lucky to be able to offer the fascinating wines from Jolly Ferriol who produce interesting white and red wines as well as traditional lines such as Muscat de Rivesaltes. They also do a great Pet Nat of which we will receive good stocks and a very rare rancio of which we’ll have hardly any stocks! But back to the Special Packs. The first is from our most recent arrivals from Domaine de l’Octavin in the Jura and Mylène Bru in the Languedoc. These wines (especially the Octavin) are in very short supply so this is probably the only opportunity for our newsletter subscribers to try some of their offerings. We have also put together a six pack that features the Grenache grape with some very interesting wines showing the many facets of this grape variety.

  • Vitis International Variety Catalogue \(VIVC\)
    BIO Web of Conferences 5, 01009 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/bioconf/20150501009 © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC): A cultivar database referenced by genetic profiles and morphology Erika Maul and Reinhard Töpfer Julius Kühn Institut, Institut für Rebenzüchtung Geilweilerhof, 76833 Siebeldingen, Germany Abstract. The establishment of the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) dates back to 1984. The idea was to virtually assemble all accessions maintained in the worldwide existing collections to face genetic erosion. In many cases synonymy, homonymy and misnaming hampered the clear assignment of cultivars/accessions to prime names. In the past 15 years nuclear microsatellites, in particular the nine SSR-markers VVS2, VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD25, VVMD27, VVMD28, VVMD32, VrZAG62 and VrZAG79 were extensively applied for cultivar recognition in combination with ampelography. Genetic fin- gerprints of more than 15,000 cultivars/accessions were collected. They were taken from more than 300 articles and from microsatellite databases on the web. Allele sizes were adapted according to own internal reference varieties. Comparison of profiles revealed new identities like: “Corbeau” = “Sevilhao”, “Gragnelut” = “Fer”, “Beretinjak” = “Bianco d’Alessano”. The activities aim to equip the prime names of VIVC with reliable genetic profiles combined with the validation of their identity by ampelography. Fingerprints from 1,500 cultivars were already uploaded in VIVC. Two distinct search modules were imple- mented: “Microsatellites by varieties” and “Microsatellites by profiles”. The implementation assists the management of grape- vine genetic resources, e.g. trueness to type assessment in grapevine collections and serves research and breeding. Due to the large anthropogenic spread of grapevines it is 1.
