Zenato Family Wines Production: Valpolicella Founded in 1960 by Sergio and Carla Zenato, the Zenato winery was originally based on the production of quality wines from an indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana. Over time, the winery has been passed onto Sergio and Carla’s children, who have maintained and expanded upon this vision. Zenato has explored an important area of Italian wine Zenato Family Wines production: Valpolicella. It is here that they have dedicated endless efforts to the improvement and February 2021 success of Amarone production, a wine of noble attributes and prestige. Today, the winery operates under a philosophy and mission of quality (from the vineyard to the bottle and consumer), passion, investment, and tradition (respecting the roots of the territory and local culture). They also place strong emphasis on sustainable vineyard and winemaking practices. From the shores of Lake Garda into the hills beyond, Zenato brings us three exceptional representations of the grape-growing and winemaking traditions in the Veneto region. Lugana D.O.C. Ripassa D.O.C. CORMI I.G.T. Andover, Blaine, Chanhassen, Cottage Grove, Osseo, Plymouth, Roseville, Rosemount Top Ten Liquors 2021. All Rights Reserved. Place Matters Lugana is the wine that put Zenato on the map. Made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana harvested from the San Benedetto parcel on the south shore of Lake Garda. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless- steel tanks and refined for six months before being released. This is a wine that they commonly refer to as the Pinot Grigio drinker’s ‘gateway drug’ to geeky wines. The Zenato Ripassa is a blend of 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. As soon as the dried grapes for the Zenato Amarone are fermented, selected batches are “re-passed” over the Amarone lees, starting a second fermentation that slightly increases the alcohol content and gives the wine deeper color and more complex aromas. Ripassa is refined for six months and then aged in French allier tonneaux for eighteen months. The wine then spends six months in-bottle before release. Merlot and other Bordeaux varietals have existed in the Veneto for hundreds of years. The nobles of the Austrian empire loved the wines so much that they transplanted the grapes and brought them to the region. Merlot plays a strong role in the modern wines of the Zenato family. The name ‘CORMI’ comes from blending the two varietal names, Corvina — the signature red varietal of the Valpolicella region — and Merlot. In Veronese dialect, "Cormi" means "my heart," a name that also reflects the Zenato family’s dedication to the Valpolicella region. Top Ten Liquors 2021. All Rights Reserved.

    Domaine Luneau-Papin Muscadet from Domaine Luneau-Papin. Pierre-Marie Luneau and Marie Chartier. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Pierre and Monique Luneau. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Profile Pierre-Marie Luneau heads this 50-hectare estate in Le Landreau, a village in the heart of Muscadet country, where small hamlets dot a landscape of vineyards on low hills. Their estate, also known as Domaine Pierre de la Grange, has been in existence since the early 18th century when it was already planted with Melon de Bourgogne, the Muscadet appellation's single varietal. After taking over from his father Pierre in 2011, Pierre-Marie became the ninth generation to make wine in the area. Muscadet is an area where, unfortunately, a lot of undistinguished bulk wine is produced. Because of the size of their estate, and of the privileged terroir of the villages of Le Landreau, Vallet and La Chapelle Heulin, the Luneau family has opted for producing smaller cuvées from their several plots, which are always vinified separately so as to reflect their terroir's particular character. The soil is mainly micaschist and gneiss, but some plots are a mix of silica, volcanic rocks and schist. The estate has a high proportion of old vines, 40 years old on average, up to 65 years of age. The harvest is done by hand -also a rarity in the region- to avoid any oxidation before pressing. There is an immediate light débourbage (separation of juice from gross lees), then a 4-week fermentation at 68 degrees, followed by 6 months of aging in stainless-steel vats on fine lees.

    Chardonnay Lees Management with Extralyse (ARC) Blenheim Vineyards Submitted by Kirsty Harmon Summary This study examined the impact of lees stirring and batonnage enzyme addition during Chardonnay aging on the chemical and sensory qualities of the wine. It is a companion study to Blenheim’s Chardonnay Lees Management (2016), which compared the effects of not stirring Chardonnay to stirring Chardonnay. Chardonnay juice was fermented in barrels, and afterwards two different treatments were imposed: stirred, and stirred with Extralyse (Laffort). Stirring occurred once per week for 8 weeks. No major chemical differences could be observed between the finished wines. Wine tended to become more cold stable over time. Additionally, increased bentonite additions to become heat stable were necessary after aging. In general, people often could not distinguish between stirring and stirring with Extralyse. When people could distinguish, there appeared to be a slight preference for wine made with Extralyse. The descriptors used generally did not help elucidate which qualities in wine were affected by stirring. There may be a small tendency for Extralyse to enhance Fruit Intensity and Depth of Flavor, but these tendencies were weak. However, the stirring regime for this study was relatively short (8 weeks). In the future, more realistic stirring regimes should be implemented to see whether differences tend to increase over time. Introduction Marchal et al. (2011) provide an excellent brief review of yeast autolysis in their introduction. Lees are mainly composed of yeast, bacteria, tartaric acid, polysaccharides, and protein-tannin complexes (Zoecklein 2013). Heavy lees generally refers to lees which precipitate 24 hours after fermentation (generally grape particles and large complexes of other lees particulates), and can often lead to off- aromas in wine.

  • La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta
    Nicolò Tedeschi founded the company that bears his name in the Valpolicella area in 1824. He was a genuine personality of his time, renowned for his skill and moral stature. Throughout the years, his family has continued the traditional wine-making process, and today, the winery is owned by the fifth generation of Tedeschis: Antonietta, Sabrina and Riccardo. Each has various responsibilities, but it is Riccardo, the oenologist, who deals with production and acts as Tedeschi’s Export Director. La Fabriseria Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore 2010 35% Corvina - 30% Corvinone - 30% Rondinella - 5% Oseleta The Tedeschi family has endeavored to improve the quality of its wines and to accentuate the relationship between the traditional vines and the region. For this reason, Rosso La Fabriseria, a wine created with an international style has been completely re-conceptualized and today is being introduced to the wine drinking audience as a wine that is coherent with the rest of our production and completely rooted in the Valpolicella region. The grape selection consists of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a small percentage of Oseleta. The grapes come from vines that are grown exclusively within the Valpolicella Classica Region and are left to over ripen on the vine. The wine yield per hectare is very low and does not exceed that of the Amarone wine. The wine is age exclusively in Slovenian oak barrels. TheValpolicella La Fabriseria is today a great and important Valpolicella wine and represents yet another wine that the Tedeschi family entrusts to tell the world the story of this splendid region. Vineyard notes: Soil: Moraine clay and limestone.

  • Sample Essay and Outline for AWC
    Sample Essay and Outline for AWC Sample Essay Question As you prepare to go on to sommelier certification, this is an example of what will be expected at this level before the sommelier certification where this question would require substantial more depth. The essays should consist of no less than: a clear introduction followed by the main statements/thesis and a proper conclusion in the 700-900-word range. Compare and contrast Valpolicella DOC and Amarone della Valpolicella DOC. Consider in your response issues of history, location and geography, soil, grape variety, viticulture, vinification, and wine style. Writing the Essay After developing a brief outline, you will conclude that while Valpolicella and Amarone are derived from the same vineyards and therefore share soils, climate, viticultural techniques and grape varieties, they differ in their vinification. A statement regarding this will be your thesis. We provide two essay samples for this question. The first speaks to all of the required elements of the question and would, therefore, receive full marks: ten points out of a possible ten. Essays which receive full marks demonstrate clear comprehension of the issue and display that comprehension in a logical, coherent way. The second is missing several required elements and would receive only six points out of a possible ten. You should notice that at the sommelier certification, we will expect students to possess far deeper knowledge of some of the variations and issues affecting the relationship between the DOCs if this questions was posed. Essay (10 Point) Though Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella are derived from the same geographical area, the wines are radically different in style.

  • Yeast Autolysis* by Dr
    Yeast Autolysis* By Dr. Murli Dharmadhikari The term autolysis literally means 'self-destruction'. It represents self-degradation of the cellular constituents of a cell by its own enzymes following the death of the cell. In the process of autolysis, the medium (wine) is enriched by the compounds released as a result of the degradation of intracellular constituents. These yeast constituents have an important influence on the sensory properties and biological stability of wine. Yeast autolysis is very important to the food industry. Yeast extract is used as an additive in the production of meat paste, meat pie filling, soups, sauces, and snacks. Yeast autolysate is a good source of nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, fiber, and micronutrients. It is also used to enhance the color and flavor of food products. The process (autolysis) is of great value to biochemical researchers, since it is used in the extraction and purification of enzymes and coenzymes. In the wine industry, yeast autolysis is important in the production of sparkling wines, sherry, and white wines produced with prolonged yeast contact, such as the "sur lie" method. The process of autolysis The process of autolysis begins with the death of the cell. At first, disorganization of membranous systems (cytoplasmic membrane and other organelles) of the cell occurs. This permits the enzymes to come in contact with cellular constituents which are degraded and rendered soluble. The proteolytic enzyme, protease, attacks proteins and breaks them down into smaller constituent units, such as peptides and amino acids. Likewise, enzyme nuclease degrades RNA and DNA yielding compounds such as nucleosides, mononucleotides, and polynucleotides.
