CONTROLLED CIRCULATION from the editor s we welcome in the new year and bid farewell to the old, Sommelier India embarks on a new path while remaining Atrue to its original mission of providing SI readers who constitute our core audience of wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs strong editorial features, news, profiles and interviews from around the world. Keeping in mind the changing landscape of communications worldwide, SI is charting a new course to actively engage the reader. So stay tuned, “For the times they are a-changin…” ! (Bob Dylan) Fratelli Vineyards is one of India’s top wine producers winning national and international acclaim in a relatively short time. This issue’s cover story describes its success in cultivating cool climate grapes in an environment that one would least expect in which they would do well, as Brinda Gill expounds on page 20. Marques de Riscal, located in the heart of the famous Rioja wine region, is one of the very few wineries which have achieved major increases in production while significantly improving quality. Michael Fridjhon was hugely impressed when he visited the winery recently after some 25 years. Read his comments on page 14. Urban vineyards are being rejuvenated or created, says Carol Wright. Some of them are sponsored by city councils to preserve the city’s green lungs. Find out more about this trend on page 36. Cru Bourgeois wines have never been greater value for money than now. The quality is so good that some of them could be upgraded to Cru Classé, if those ranks hadn’t been immutably established in 1855, writes Ashika Mathews. Don’t miss Stephen Quinn’s article on Amarone, page 58 – an intense wine from Valpolicella in northern Italy, regarded as one of Italy’s greatest red wines. Another popular Italian red is Brunello di Montalcino. To discover how a poor hill-top town in Tuscany put it on the global map read Michele Shah’s Castello Banfi story on page 26. Elsewhere, Ruma Singh interviews Paul John about “Kanya” his latest award-winning single malt, page 48. Karina Aggarwal explains why Rémy Martin’s cognac is in a class apart, page 32, and Rosemary George MW expatiates on the many forms of port, page 52. The issue closes with a photo feature of an SI dinner celebrating the magazine’s contribution to the spread of wine culture in India and a decade-and-a-half of publishing. 42 Sommelier INDIA JANUARY-MARCH 2018 Volume 14: Issue 1, January-February 2018 `220 VOLUME 14: ISSUE 1, JANUARY-MARCH 2018 Founder Reva K Singh contents Publisher Shiv B Singh Advisory Council Sonal Holland – Mumbai FRONT OF THE BOOK successfully planted at Akluj in 32 THE BIRTH OF BRANDY AND Dhruv M Sawhney – New Delhi southern Maharashtra by Fratelli THE CRAFT OF COGNAC Steven Spurrier – London Ravi Viswanathan – Singapore 06 OENOPHILE’S NOTEBOOK Vineyards are producing exciting, Karina Aggarwal provides a 42 Tips, News and Trends for the unusual blends.

Specific vignerons visited and detailed notes on each visit will be posted and provided on my website at www.vtwines.info. Click on 2007 French Study Tour. Languedoc. The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).
