Soave’s Volcanic Revival

Soave’s Volcanic Revival

Unless you’re a Baby Boomer, you’ve probably never seen the TV ad campaign run by Italy’s Bolla wine company in the 1970s and ’80s, but you can still catch it on YouTube. They show a nattily dressed Franco Bolla living la dolce vita and saying things like, “Why do so many people prefer my Soave Bolla? …Taste.” The ads may have elicited howls of hilarity from Spanish speakers, who had their own interpretation of suave bola, but the persistent pleas to enjoy Franco’s Soave Bolla met with considerable success and helped propel Soave into becoming America’s best-selling Italian DOC wine, surpassing even sales of Chianti.

Age Is Be: The Confounding Case of Italian White Wine

Age Is Beauty: The Confounding Case of Italian White Wine

In general, it’s relatively easy for wine drinkers to wrap their heads around the idea that certain red wines improve with age. Offering restaurant-goers or wine shop patrons a 10- or 20-year-old bottle of Bordeaux, Barolo, or Burgundy might come with sticker shock, but the concept won’t be scoffed at. Try to do the same with white wines, and you’re much less likely to get traction, especially if you go away from white Burgundy or Riesling, the two whites most often cited when talking about ageability. That’s unfortunate in the case of certain Italian white wines, which can often require a decade or more of aging before they evolve beyond the kind of bright, zippy bistro sippers we most often think of when we think about Italian whites.

Introducing Single Vineyard Barolo And Barbaresco Wines To The World

Introducing Single Vineyard Barolo And Barbaresco Wines To The World

In the beginning of February over 200 producers from the Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG wine appellations in Piedmont, Italy, visited New York City to pour their incredible wines at a once in a lifetime tasting as well as to showcase single vineyard labels and the concept of MGA (a.k.a MeGA) zones that represent these single vineyard notations’ particular bottlings. It was a rare event where many came from all over the world. The areas of Barolo and Barbaresco have always been considered wine growing appellations like no other yet there has become an importance to bringing attention to the various nuances that each site expresses that is channeled through that difficult to grow yet utterly enticing grape variety, Nebbiolo.

How This Leading Tuscan Estate Uses Art To Communicate Wine

Long considered a symbol of Italian excellence, Ornellaia is one of the country’s leading wine estates and a name that has long sought to distinguish itself and its wines through the art of storytelling. Founded in 1981 in the small hamlet of Bolgheri near the Tuscan Coast, Ornellaia is recognized for producing some of the best “Super Tuscans” in the area: Bordeaux-style red wines that are refined and elegant, like their French cousins, while remaining thoroughly rooted in Italy’s enological traditions and distinctive terrain.

Produttori del Barbaresco: the worlds best wine cooperative?

In 1894, Domizio Cavazza created Barbaresco’s first cooperative, the Cantine Sociali. Cavazza recognised that Nebbiolo from Barbaresco differed from Barolo, and for the first time, acknowledged this on the label. In 1920, fascist rule forced the Cantine Sociali to close, it wasn’t until 1958 that a cooperative reemerged in Barbaresco; the Produttori del Barbaresco.

How Cavit is transforming wine-making in Trentino with an app

How Cavit is transforming wine-making in Trentino with an app

What do you do when you have a surplus of viticultural data and don’t know what to do with it?… Develop a technological tool that supports everyday decision-making, with regular guidance on treatments and optimum harvest dates, and also assists long-term strategic change… that’s what. This is what lies behind PICA, a fascinating web-based tool and app developed by Cavit, one of Italy’s largest co-operatives based in Trentino. It represents 4,500 individual grower members, 10 wineries and a team of 14 agronomists overseeing 5,400 hectares of vineyards, the majority of which are relatively small plots in the hills around Trento. David Kermode was there before Lockdown to see how it is revolutionising viticulture in the region.

Schioppettino, the forgotten grape that sounds like it tastes: crackling!

The wine travel we are going to plan together today brings us to the very Northern Eastern corner of Italy, to the small town of Prepotto, in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, at the border with Slovenia. And we are on the hunt for a sound. Yes, an almost forgotten grape, known for its “noisy” name.

Alcoholvrij: bieren zijn top, maar de wijnen? 'Niet te drinken!'
27 May 2017 08:44
BREDA - Alcoholvrije bieren zijn van hun suffe imago verlost. Sterker nog: de verkoop zit fors in de lift en komende week publiceert de Consumentenbond de resultaten van een smaaktest. Bij de wijnen is er minder reden tot vrolijkheid. Bredanaar Ron Andes, voorzitter van de Koninklijke Slijtersunie: "Ik heb er nog nooit een gevonden die ik wilde drinken!"

Laag in alcohol. Dat is puik.

Ben het er wel mee eens.
De wijnen geven mij weinig plezier.
Heb ze ook een periode gedronken maar stopte er mee.
Bier is een ander verhaal.
Jammer dat een organisatie uit 18 zoveel ook mee wil doen en iedereen weer van valse zaken gaat beschuldigen.
