A Quartino is a quarter of a liter of wine, about a third of a bottle or a glass and a half. Served in a small carafe it is a perfect way to split a glass of wine for an aperitivo or an intermezzo. 1 “My dream was to magically pour wine from bottles without ever pulling the cork. The remaining wine could then go back in my cellar, so that I could enjoy it again, whenever I desired. What followed was a decade of development and testing until I had a system that left the cork in place, but still delivered great glasses of wine, indistinguishable from untouched bottles.” Greg Lambrecht, Coravin Founder Using the Coravin system we offer some of our best wines by the glass. bianchi Glass Quartino CHARDONNAY THE WHITE QUEEN, By The Wonderland Project, 2014 Sonoma 15. 20.

DELAIRE GRAFF, Botmaskop, Bordeaux Blend, 2013 Stellenbosch 48.00 6 CHAMPAGNE Champagne is a blend of white grapes (Chardonnay), and black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier), carefully combined to produce a distinctive house style. Champagnes with a high percentage of Chardonnay (Moët et Chandon) tend to be light, racy and crisp. Those with a majority of black grapes (Drappier, Pommery) are deeper and richer. The real thing is only produced from the chalky soil of the Champagne region, southeast of Paris, using the time-consuming Methode Champenoise, a painstaking technique which involves second fermentation in the bottle. High-quality sparkling wine is also made by Methode Champenoise in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the United States. True Champagne is categorized by the level of sweetness (Brut, Extra Dry, Demi-Sec), based on how much sugar is added at the time of bottling. It comes in different quality levels: non-vintage, a blend across different years; vintage, grapes coming exclusively from an exceptional harvest and bottle-aged before release; and the so-called luxury cuvee (Dom Pérignon, Taittinger), which represents the ultimate offering a Champagne house can provide. 101 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, Andy Warhol Collection, 2000 575.00 102 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, Andy Warhol Collection, 2002 595.00 103 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, 2004 425.00 1031 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, 2005 395.00 1032 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, 2006 425.00 1033 MOËT ET CHANDON, Dom Pérignon, Bjork & Chris Cunningham, 2006 495.00 104 KRUG, Grand Cuvée, NV 325.00 105 TAITTINGER, La Francaise, Brut, NV 110.00 106 PIPER-HEIDSIECK, Brut, NV 80.00 1061 PLOYEZ-JACQUEMART,

    2019 Roero Arneis Docg

    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

A four-step experimental procedure was set up by performing the following tests; 1) Preliminary study of Lallzyme MMX ® oenological preparation (Lallemand Inc., Canada), commonly used to improve the short maturing of wines on lees, both in presence and in absence of two secondary fermentation yeast strains: Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus BCS103 ® (Fermentis, division of S.I. Lesaffre, France) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus Lalvin EC1118 ® (Lallemand Inc., Canada) in synthetic buffers, in dependence of pH and ethanol concentrations, kinetic parameters determination; 2) Sparkling wines production by the traditional method. Base wine inoculum was performed using the same selected yeast strains, both in absence and in presence of Lallzyme MMX ®; 3) Base wine and sparkling wines sampling at 4, 8 and 12 months after tirage and study of: yeasts morphological changes by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observations; foaming properties; free amino acids composition; total proteins content. A fourth step was focused on perform a sensory analysis 12 months after tirage by a trained panel group aimed at assess the differences between sparkling wines produced in presence and in absence of Lallzyme MMX ®.

    GP Turin 2018 Travel Guide

    “Torino is not a place you can leave behind” - Friedrich Nietsche 1 A brief history Torino was founded as a roman settlement, under the name of Augusta Taurinorum (“Taurinus” means bull-like and that was the name given by the romans to the local ancient tribes, because of their height and strength). After having been mostly anonymous through the middle age, it became the capital of the Savoy dukedom in 1563, under duke Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. The dukedom of Savoy became a kingdom in 1713, and starting from 1848 the Royal family and the government began, through wars and smart political alliances, the process of reunification of Italy (known now as Risorgimento - resurgence). This led Torino to become the first capital of Italy in 1861. During the 20th century the city become a center of excellence for the automotive industry, but after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2006, Torino is seeing its popularity rising again as a worthy touristic destination, thanks to its beautiful baroque city center, its vibrant cultural life and its wine and food traditions. Getting to the City Torino Airport: Torino is served by the Sandro Pertini international airport. Although small, the airport offers multiple daily connections to most of the big European hubs, including Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Amsterdam and Paris (be careful if you’re flying through London: there are connections to Gatwick and Stanstedt, not Heathrow). The airport is also served by low-cost company Ryanair, which offers connections to Barcelona, Bruxelles-Charleroi, London Stanstedt, Malta, Ibiza, Valencia and Dublin. The airport is connected to the city center by bus.

    Roero Riserva Docg • Ròche Dra Bòssora

    ROERO RISERVA DOCG • RÒCHE DRA BÒSSORA Roero is a zone situated on the left side of the river Tanaro. Its hills are recognizable from a distance for the typical shape of their slopes interrupted by huge ravines that can be also 200 m deep. This vertical sections are called “Ròche”. On this hills it grows one of the world-wide best species of vine, the Nebbiolo, from which the wine Roero has its origin.
