Sicily has been making wine for centuries, historically for local consumption or for selling to other wine regions in bulk to enhance their wines. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, “modern” Sicilian wine production evolved, creating terroir-driven wines with elegance and finesse that the world has embraced. The Connected Table Hosts Melanie Young and David Ransom discuss the wines of Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Vittoria DOC and Noto DOC, regions visited during Sicilia en Primeur 2025.The Connected Table is broadcast live Wednesdays at 2PM ET and Music on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).  The Connected Table Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Media (www.talk4media.com), Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-connected-table-live--1277037/support.

Yep, we all thought we knew exactly what to expect from the round of 16 of the Division III football playoffs. What did we get instead? Something way, way more interesting. That's the national champion being ousted. That's St. John's falling at home on the final play of the game. And that's a bracket with four quarterfinal games, three of which are being hosted by teams in Region 2 and none in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Ohio. (Shout out to Illinois as the fourth host!) Besides, Division III football isn't scripted. It's not the NBA. Instead, we have Springfield, having beaten the No. 2 team in the nation and the defending national champion, then getting into a plane to play at No. 1 North Central. Did you have "getting on a plane" on your Springfield football bingo card? You know they're looking forward to this, and the memories that form from such an event, and Pride coach Mike Cerasuolo joins us on the podcast for the first time since so long ago we hadn't started numbering yet. (But it was Podcast 146, from May 2016, when Cerasuolo was first hired.) He talks about what the triple option actually is, how his team got past Cortland, and the challenge the Pride have ahead of them. Plus, we hand out game balls, including one to a star running back who, actually, has really become a much better blocker this season. We run down all eight games and give our thoughts on the upcoming quarterfinal matchups. Plus we take three reader questions, one about those Road Dogs from Belton, Texas, one asking which team's phase of the game or position group surprised us most and one about the Gagliardi Trophy. Plus, be the first people to learn when we will release the 2024 D3football.com All-America team!

I wasn't sure I was going to do a Thanksgiving episode this year, but last minute, I felt inspired (and was encouraged by some of you -- thanks especially to my dear friends and your fellow patrons Claudette C and Tina K) so I decided to make it happen.   This one is short, sweet, and to the point! I offer seven main wine types and give examples of each. I hope at least one of these ideas will work for your table! __________________________________ This year, I'm sticking with the theme I did for the Wine Access Club and recommending blends for your meal. The list: Photo: Getty Images via Canva 1. Sparkling -- whether you pick Champagne, Crémant, Cava, Cap Classique, Franciacorta, American sparkling wine, or anything else, you will likely have a mix of grapes. A great blend for the whole meal.     2. Acidic white blends are fantastic pairings. White Bordeaux blends are my top choice.     3. Full, white Rhône blends, especially with a big Viognier component are always on my Thanksgiving table. Blends like Côtes du Rhône blanc, Châteauneuf du Pape blanc, Laudun, Lirac, and Rhône blends from California and Australia work well.     4. Fruity red blends have softer tannins but good acidity. Côtes du Rhône, Châteauneuf du Pape, and Valpolicella are some examples     5. Flavorful red blends with a fuller body are a fantastic alternative to varietal Cabernet or Zinfandel, which are often recommended. Rioja, Bordeaux (with more Merlot than Cabernet), and Cerasuolo di Vittoria are my suggested blends.   6. Rosés like Tavel, Bandol rosé, Côtes du Rhône rosé, and heavier styles of Rioja rosado.     7. Finally, SAUTERNES is great with grilled food or anything with a char. It can also handle the sweet foods on your table, including dessert.     I hope you this was helpful and gave you a new idea or two!

This is the weekly columnAs the Nat King Cole song goes, “Roll out those lazy, hazy days of summer.” But instead of soda and pretzels and beer, it is so much nicer to sip well-chilled rosé.The rosé cliché is that it is only a summertime wine. Not remotely true, but rosé certainly is a lovely libation—both in taste and color—as we endure the trials Sol slings at us.Rosé is light-bodied, fresh and fruity, moderate alcohol. Those are all good things for a scorching day thirst quencher. Rosé also pairs well with the lighter food we eat in summer.Rosés come in many colors. Some sippers immediately think of the very pale rosés from Côtes de Provence, but color is an indication of style, not quality. Rosés from the Tavel region of the Rhone Valley or the Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo region of Italy are dark rosés and excellent rosés.There are four techniques used to make rosé:• Direct pressing involves pressing red grapes immediately after harvest allowing minimal skin contact and occurs before fermentation begins. This produces the palest pink wine. Pale rosés usually deliver flavors of strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, cantaloupe. Pale Provence rosés are made using this technique.• Saignée (French for “bleeding”) involves allowing a portion of red wine to “bleed” off early in fermentation. This produces wines darker than direct press. Saignée tends to promote raspberry and blackberry flavors and aromas. Saignée rosé wines also can be more tannic and suitable for aging.• Maceration involves leaving the juice in contact with the skins for an extended period. The longer the maceration, the darker the color. When the desired color is achieved, the must—the mix of juice, skins, stems, and seeds—is pressed and fermentation begins. This is another popular method in Provence and is used to make their most serious rosés.• A final method, particularly used in Champagne to produce rosé sparkling wine, involves blending a small amount of red wine into white wine. Champagne makers focus on a consistent product year upon year. Blending allows for the most control of the product.Tasting notes• Ultimate Provence UP Côtes de Provence Rosé 2022: Tangy edge plays well with juicy red fruits.

Diventa un esperto di vino con il podcast di Tannico. Sempre nell'areale dell'Aquila, ma nella zona vicina al comune di Prezza, si trova la cantina Praesidium, fondata a fine anni 80 da Enzo e Lucia Pasquale. Un approccio naturale, con vendemmie manuali, selezione delle uve e pochissimi interventi anche in cantina. Il loro Cerasuolo rimane in macerazione per addirittura due giorni, regalando quindi un colore unico nella sua grande carica. Sentori di liquirizia, rabarbaro, note uniche di melograno e un tannino sorprendente dato sempre dalla lunga macerazione. Un'espressione territoriale che difficilmente si riesce a trovare in altri produttori. Scopri la più accurata selezione di vini dell'Abruzzo e non solo sul sito di Tannico.

Diventa un esperto di vino con il podcast di Tannico. Tra i più grandi interpreti del vino rosato abruzzese, ma anche italiano, spicca la cantina Cataldi Madonna, in grado di conquistare premi e palati di mezzo mondo. Siamo a Ofena, nella zona de L'Aquila, in Abruzzo, in una regione caratterizzata da temperature piuttosto elevate ma anche dalla vicinanza dei ghiacci del Gran Sasso. Tra i pionieri del territorio, Luigi Cataldi Madonna ha dato vita all'azienda vinicola nel 1920. Azienda che oggi è certificata biologica, che punta tutto sul rispetto del territorio e della qualità delle uve. Cataldi Madonna vinifica Montepulciano, Pecorino e Trebbiano, ma sono le sue espressioni di Cerasuolo forse le più interessanti per capire il terroir e la tradizione di questo angolo di Abruzzo.

Diventa un esperto di vino con il podcast di Tannico. Siamo nella zona vinicola d'Abruzzo più lontana dal mare, su vigneti che spesso sono eroici a tutti gli effetti, e un suolo di origine alluvionale e caratterizzato dalla ghiaia, quindi molto diverso da quelle degli altri territori della regione. I vini sono generosi, meno leggeri ed esili rispetto a quanto ci si potrebbe aspettare da una regione tutto sommato montuosa. Qui il Montepulciano si fa elegante, fresco, ma è probabilmente il Cerasuolo a stupire davvero: raggiunge infatti tra le espressioni più interessanti, soprattutto per sapidità e freschezza.

Diventa un esperto di vino con il podcast di Tannico. Edoardo Valentini è considerato il vero e proprio artefice del successo del vino abruzzese. Non è stato l'unico, certamente, ma è stato probabilmente il primo a portare nei calici degli appassionati vini di grandissima qualità, in una regione che per molto tempo è stata poco considerata. La famiglia Valentini produce vino nel territorio di Pescara dal 1600, e nei secoli si è concentrata sui tre vini tipici della regione: Montepulciano, Cerasuolo e Trebbiano. È con quest'ultimo però che Valentini ha portato davvero in alto il nome proprio e quello dell'intera regione. Scopri la più accurata selezione di vini dell'Abruzzo e non solo sul sito di Tannico.

John Cerasuolo leads incredibly acquisitive companies. At ADS Security, he led the business through 45 acquisitions in a direct-to-owner model that relied on relationships and an internal team to buy-up companies. Now, with Leap Partners, he's hoping to do the same in the plumbing and HVAC sectors. Already the company he's launched is off to a fast start with 5 acquisitions already complete and a pipeline that could help him realize 20 more this year. John talks about starting the business and how the industry switch and time have affected his process.

Diventa un esperto di vino con il podcast di Tannico. Il vino prodotto in Abruzzo ha raggiunto livelli qualitativi notevoli, con il Montepulciano così come con Trebbiano e Cerasuolo. Quello che non tutti sanno però è che questa regione ospita anche veri e propri vigneti eroici, da cui alcuni produttori riescono a portare a casa vini eccellenti. La sfida è data più dalle temperature rigide e dalle escursioni, piuttosto che dall'inclinazione o dall'altitudine di per sé. Nonostante questo, alcune delle bottiglie più interessanti della regione provengono proprio dai vigneti eroici abruzzesi.

Episode 667 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse's Ambassadors Corner. In this episode Hugh Preece interviews Arianna Occhipinti - These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick? About today's guest host: Hugh Preece is the President/Operating Partner at Salt Creek Grille Restaurants and Pickled Monk Tap Room. He is an Italian Wine Ambassador- Vinitaly Academy; Italian Wine Scholar- Wine Scholar Guild; Certified Educator through VIA Educator Program; a Sommelier & a 5 Star Wine Judge. He is also the author of Counting Castles in Abruzzo. If you want to learn more about today's guest host, you can by visiting: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hughlpreecescg Facebook: @FermentedBoss Instagram: fermented_boss About today's guest producer: Arianna Occhipinti has emerged as a pivotal personality for a new generation of wine enthusiasts. Her rapid rise is well-deserved: she is based in the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, where she farms Native varieties of Sicily. She is well-known for cultivating wines using biodynamic methods. Arianna Occhipinti is a young winemaker from Vittoria, in the south-eastern tip of Sicily, the warm island off of Italy's Mediterranean coast. In a region often associated with Marsala and with producing bulk quantities of full-fleshed, plummy and ripe reds made for export and blending, Arianna Occhipinti's wines are non-conformist and highly atypical for the region. Her wines (made from the indigenous grapes Nero d'Avola and the little-known Frappato) reflect, in part, her character: mysterious, earthy and intriguing. The wines are perfumed and spicy, with a bit of a wild streak that mirrors the rebellious energy that bubbles beneath her reserved and somewhat wary exterior. Along with her winemaking, Arianna makes an incredible olive oil that is hard to get, and once you've tasted it, it's even harder to forget.

Cerulli Spinozzi nasce a Canzano, in provincia di Teramo, a 30 km rispettivamente dall'Appennino e da Giulianova dalla fusione di due antiche proprietà agricole, quella della famiglia Spinozzi presente sul territorio già dal 1600 e quella dei Cerulli Irelli di tradizione mercantile. 
L'azienda è fortemente orientata all'esaltazione delle uve tipiche della Regione dalle quali nascono i vini Colline Teramane: Montepulciano di Abruzzo Docg, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Doc, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Doc e Pecorino Colli Aprutini Igt declinati in 3 linee – Torre Migliori, Cortalto, Gruè – che, con stili e vinificazioni diverse, raccontano l'anima artigiana, “forte e gentile” di un sorprendente Abruzzo.Condotta secondo metodi di agricoltura sostenibile la Tenuta è strutturata per un equilibrio tra impianti di nuovi vigneti - orientati alla produzione di grande pregio - e una costante manutenzione di vigne ultra trentennali, le cui basse rese (intorno agli 85 quintali per ettaro) sono la base per l'ottenimento di vini di qualità.Nei 180 ettari totali di proprietà in cui si trovano anche ulivi, pomodori e vari seminativi, i vigneti coprono una superficie pari a 35 ettari nel comune di Canzano.  Allevati a tendone e a filare, le piante sono coltivate su terreni di origine alluvionale un tempo attraversate dalle acque del fiume Vomano, fondamentale riserva idrica della zona.

Abruzzo might not be the #1 tourist destination in central Italy, but it produces some fantastic wines. Kathryn talks about what makes this place special and the grape varietals that grow there. The region is also home to some serious dark rosés within the Cerasuolo di Abruzzo DOC. Back at home, Kathryn & Tug celebrate the beginning of preschool for their youngest child. Tug talks about his trip to Sonoma and visiting the Charles Schulz museum. The Wine of the Week is the Torre dei Beati ‘Rosa-ae' Cerasuolo di Abruzzo 2020.

OVP149 – Wein am Sonntag – De Fermo, »Le Cince« Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Superiore 2019

Imported wine prices could be headed lower? Ursula Von der Leyen President of the European Commission and President Biden have agreed to suspend all tariffs with regard to the Airbus-Boeing dispute for four months. President Von der Leyen, the first woman elected to head the European Commission is responsible for setting the Commission’s policy agenda and is just 15 months into a five year term that started in December of 2019. She’s quickly gaining allies in the food and agriculture sectors of Europe by working with President Biden who himself has been in office less than ten weeks to pause the tariffs as officials work to negotiate a longer lasting agreement that can benefit all parties. European wine imports have dropped substantially since the wine tariffs were put into affect in October of 2019. This brief respite will give importers and retailers welcomed relief from the punishing penalties of the increased taxes amidst a pandemic. We’ll have to wait and see if consumers benefit from the unexpected windfall too.John Fox notorious for running a wine Ponzi Scheme out of his Berkeley, California retail store has been released from federal custody two years earlier than scheduled. One of the conditions of his release is that he make $45 million in restitution to those he swindled. I’d hate to be an unwilling creditor on that list. One of the unlikely consequences of the pandemic and the wine glut is that the price of wine is going down and the quality of the wine at lower price points is going up. We sight several examples in this podcast. Bill and I discuss these items and more in this week's addition of VinoWeek. Thanks to everyone for listening. Cheers!Our wine recommendation this week is the 2018 Cantina Kurtatsch Vernatsch Alte Reben. Cantina Kurtatsch is a co-operative that is located in north-eastern Italy, in the region of Alto Adige that borders Austria to the north. The area is more known for its white wines, where 62% of the wine produced is white vs 38% red. The ubiquitous Schiava, Vernatsch in German is the most cultivated red grape in the area followed closely by Pinot Noir and Lagrein. The Kurtatsch co-operative like most co-ops in northern Italy is not well known in the U.S. We are starting to see more whites wines from Alto Adige but I suspect most of the good Schiava from the area never leaves Europe. One can hardly blame importers from looking askance at Schiava based red wines with their low alcohol and light bodied profiles; not unlike a lean unoaked Pinot Noir, Schiava is not what the American consumer is buying in todays markets.So why am I recommending the Sonntaler (sunny valley) Schiava? Often when I’m looking at a bottle of wine I’m unfamiliar with I spin it around and look for the name of the importer on the back label. In this case the importer was North Berkeley Imports, a favorite of mine, so I felt comfortable in making the purchase. Being familiar with Vernatsch/ Schiava wines I wasn’t disappointed. With spring weather coming on I was looking for a less heavy red wine and the Sonntaler (12.5 % abv) fitted the bill. The 100% old vine Schiava grapes are hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine then spends six months in 2,376 gallon neutral Slavonian oak casks. The Sonntaler has a light ruby color that is translucent on the edges. On appearance alone it could easily be mistaken for a Cerasuolo, a deeply hued rosé wine from central Italy. The Sonntaler is fragrant and approachable. Cranberry and strawberry on the nose are in concert with its lean lightly spiced red fruit profile. Light bodied yet flavorful I enjoyed the tongue tingling minerality on the finish. If you’re in the mood for an change and you want to expand your wine palate I highly recommend you pick up a bottle of Sonntaler. For now this may be the best way for us to take a trip to the Alpine meadows of Northern Italy.

Montepulciano, Pecorino e Passerina, sono questi i cavalli di battaglia della prima annata della linea Codice Oro di “Codice Vino”, il nuovo progetto nato dalle migliaia di ettari vitati che fanno capo alla maxi-cooperativa Codice Citra. La nuova sfida, una vera e propria “Cantina Boutique”, vede confluire il meglio delle nove zone vitivinicole comprese nella base sociale di Citra sotto la guida di due mostri sacri italiani dell’enologia e dell’agronomia, Riccardo Cotarella e Attilio Scienza. Codice Vino punta all’eccellenza, senza mezzi termini, sia in vigna sia in cantina, e conta di riuscirci anche e proprio perché può contare su una scelta di zone e uve praticamente sconfinata. Una idea “illuminata” come ha detto Attilio Scienza, anche perché “quando le cooperative assumono caratteri imprenditoriali non ce n’è per nessuno” potendo scegliere il meglio della produzione su migliaia di ettari.

Mario Soldati arriva in Abruzzo per la terza tappa del suo terzo viaggio in Italia alla ricerca dei vini genuini.E' l'autunno del 1975, sono passati cinque anni dal precedente, ma sembrano molti di più. Innanzitutto è cambiata la testata, da Grazia a Epoca. Ma fin dalle prime righe si percepisce soprattutto che è mutato Soldati stesso: il suo modo di viaggiare e perfino di scrivere. Un Soldati più ingabbiato, più costretto, anche più diffidente e disilluso.Ne viene fuori una puntata diversa sotto molti punti di vista. Una ricognizione del bello e buono d'Abruzzo, ma anche un'esplorazione tra alcune delle contraddizioni radicate nel vino italiano e fra certi lati oscuri di chi lo produce e lo racconta.Ad affiancarci nella consueta condivisione di pensieri, ricordi, consigli di viaggi e bevute c'è l'amico ternano-abruzzese Giampiero Pulcini: da non perdere fra i vari interventi il suo ritratto di Emidio Pepe, uno dei grandi protagonisti dell'epopea regionale raccontati nella puntata, insieme ai Valentini e i Cataldi Madonna.Mentre lo scrittore e giornalista Marco Ciriello sceglie Ignazio Silone e Fontamara per accompagnare il nostro vagabondare tra Adriatico, Gran Sasso e Maiella.E infine una testimonianza speciale direttamente da Guardiagrele, dove Soldati scopre le “sise delle monache” della Pasticceria Emo Lullo: è proprio Emo Lullo Junior a ricostruire l'incontro tra papà Francesco e il celebre regista-scrittore.E allora: buon ascolto!TIPICAMENTE PRESENTA:Vino al vino – 50 anni dopoUn podcast di Paolo De Cristofaro e Antonio Boco S1 E5Nelle province di L'Aquila, Teramo, Pescara, Chieti.

Penna sensibile e ispirata, cresciuto nella cantera di Porthos, con tante esperienze e collaborazioni, tra cui ci piace ricordare i contributi per il blog dell'Accademia degli Alterati (capitanato da Fabio Rizzari con molti altri amici) oppure il lavoro quasi da “direttore artistico” per gli incontri di Divinarte Mentana: parliamo dell'amico Giampiero Pulcini.Profondo conoscitore del vino abruzzese anche per ragioni familiari, siamo orgogliosi di averlo avuto con noi a chiacchierare di Trebbiano e Montepulciano, dei suoi Cerasuolo preferiti e di vignaioli speciali come Emidio Pepe. E ancor di più siamo felici di aver toccato con mano una volta di più la dimensione umana ed emotiva che ne alimenta il percorso di bevitore e divulgatore, chirurgicamente restituita nel suo primo libro: “Il vino sincerissimo” (Tre Bit Edizione, 2019, con la “non-prefazione” di Luca Santini).La quinta puntata della prima stagione di “Vino al Vino 50 anni” dopo contiene solo alcuni estratti di un racconto totalizzante che merita di essere ascoltato e condiviso in versione integrale.Tipicamente presentaVino al vino – 50 anni dopoUn podcast di Paolo De Cristofaro e Antonio Boco S1 Extra 05Giampiero Pulcini: Abruzzo sincerissimo (completo)www.tipicamente.itCreditiBrani musicali (in ordine di scaletta)Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0)Back to the woods – Jason Shaw – AudionautiX (audionautix.com)Zest (ft.

This week we discuss Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean that has a wildness, a culture, and a wine portfolio all its own. From the islands that make luscious sweet wines, to the hot interior churning out fruity reds, to the elegant reds and whites of Mount Etna, Sicily has something for everyone and is on the rise.   Sicily Overview Largest island in the Mediterranean, volcanic– huge with rough infrastructure Harvest lasts for over three months, beginning in the August heat in Trapaniand ending in Mount Etna in mid-November As the author Nicolas Belfrage, “Brunello to Zibibbo”, Sicily has the potential to be “California, Australia, Chile, southern France, Jerez and middle Italy all rolled into one” Long storied history of winemaking traditions there exist since Greek, Roman and medieval times.

La cantina viene fondata per iniziativa della famiglia Jacono (Giuseppe Jacono), dedita da sempre alla viticoltura e alla produzione vitivinicola sin da quando Vittoria era il centro siciliano più attivo nell’esportazione del vino destinato al mercato francese, alla fine del XIX secolo. Da allora tale vocazione è stata custodita e tramandata nel tempo, con la volontà di perfezionare e far conoscere la propria produzione a livello internazionale.Forte di questa eredità Valle dell’Acate si è specializzata nella coltivazione dei vitigni autoctoni più pregiati e rigogliosi che crescono in queste terre, riuscendo così ad ottenere grandi vini, tra i quali il lustro della produzione vinicola siciliana, il Cerasuolo di Vittoria D.O.C.G.Nel tempo lo spirito dell’azienda è diventato l’espressione autentica di un modo di fare vino, dove l’antica tradizione vinicola e la natura si combinano profondamente dando origine a vini di straordinaria qualità e carattere.Oggi Valle Dell’Acate, condotta dall’ultima generazione della famiglia Jacono e dalla famiglia Ferreri, è una delle realtà più importanti nel panorama enoico della Sicilia sud orientale, impegnata nel proseguire e valorizzare l’antichissima tradizione vitivinicola della provincia di Ragusa, nel triangolo di territorio tra Acate, Comiso e Vittoria.

Il Salotto di Mao

Il territorio abruzzese è naturalmente predisposto alla vitivinicoltura, collocato tra il mare Adriatico e i massicci del Gran Sasso d’Italia e della Majella, dove si snodano tre Parchi Nazionali e più di dieci tra riserve nazionali e regionali.L’Abruzzo può essere suddiviso in due zone: quella interna montuosa, che costituisce oltre il 65% dell’intero territorio regionale, e quella litoranea con l’ampia fascia collinare. Il clima si presenta mite sul versante appenninico rivolto verso il mare, continentale quello dei bacini più interni.Le forti escursioni termiche tra giorno e notte, associate ad una buona ventilazione, garantiscono alla vite un microclima ideale per vegetare e produrre uve di straordinaria qualità.Cantina Valle Tritana ha lo scopo di selezionare e commercializzare prodotti, a partire dal vino Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, di qualità-prezzo favorevoli ai consumatori.Il nome scelto per la Cantina non è casuale, la Valle Tritana è infatti nel cuore della regione abruzzese, al centro di un territorio singolare per le particolari caratteristiche dei terreni pedemontani, per la presenza del Gran Sasso alle spalle ed il conseguente microclima che beneficia di sensibili escursioni termiche con giornate calde e notti fredde. Un territorio che è riconosciuto come uno degli insediamenti più antichi del vitigno Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, che trova la sua principale ragione di identità nell’economia agricola.

Rosé is so popular now that the market is flooded. So the question now is not just do you want rosé, but what kind? How do you figure it out? There are some ways to choose the kind of pink for you! This podcast gives you heuristics to get a perfect bottle! Here are the show notes:    The four ways to make rosé: LIMITED SKIN MACERATION Crush the grapes Leave them in contact with the skins like a red wine   Soak them for a little while – like 2 hours to 2 days or so (red wines are weeks or months) Longer maceration, the darker the wine, the more tannin, the more red wine character   DIRECT PRESSING Similar to limited skin maceration, direct pressing -- contact with the skins for an extremely short period of time. No maceration, press and get skins away, make it like a white wine Some color in the juice, lightest rose of all   SAIGNÉE METHOD The saignée, or “bleeding,” method makes rosé AND red wine Started as a way to concentrate reds. Early in the maceration process, remove or “bleed” some of the juice from the tank. Vinified separately as a rosé   BLENDING White + red = rosé Prohibited for quality wines in Europe except Champagne Style varies from light to heavy depending on the amount and type of red wine used in the blend   Grapes/areas and flavors: French styles: Provence – salmon colored, Grenache lead with Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre: fruity, berry, cherry, with orange, saline, hay/dried grass or meadow, stony, floral, berry notes, bone dry, acidic, strawberry, fresh-cut watermelon, and rose petal, finishing with a distinctive, salty minerality on the palate Rhone: Tavel: only 100% rose appellation. Lots of structure and character – Grenache and Cinsault, 9 grapes authorized, ages well Sancerre, Burgundy, Alsace, Germany Pinot Noir: acidity and soft, subtle aromas of watermelon, raspberries, cherry, strawberries, and stream. Earthy, elegant, Bone dry Bandog from Provence: Mourvedre. Full bodied, richer, darker Loire: Cab Franc/Cab Sauv/Grolleau/Gamay Rose –  can be dark red, bone dry, floral, herbal   Spain: Tempranillo lead: Savory, heavy color – herbal, peppery, watermelon, strawberry, heavier, earthy, floral Basque Txakolina Rosado: berries, spritzy, salinity, low alcohol   Italy:   Red fruit, flowers/roses, citrus, savory AKA – Rosato, Cerasuolo, Ramato     New World: Syrah lead: bolder, more like a light red – strawberry, pepper, cherry, peach Cab Sauv: deep ruby red color with typical Cab notes: green bell pepper, cherry, black currant and black pepper White Zin: 85% of Zin production. Off-dry, sticky sweet. Carignan lead – common in CA: red berries, citrus Malbec: In Argentina Any combo possible, as well as sugar and blending white and red   Remember, it's ok to drink rosé once fall begins!    Thanks to our sponsor The Great Courses! www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/wine

Valle dell'Acate is one of the historical wineries of Sicily and the province of Ragusa. A winery involved since its beginning to the production of wines from indigenous grapes - Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Inzolia and Grillo - it is one of the protagonists of Cerasuolo di Vittoria and Frappato di Vittoria. In 2008 they decided to make a dream from what it promised to be an exceptional vintage: this is how Il Moro Limited Edition 2008 was born, a great wine which makes us believe about a great future for Nero d'Avola made by Valle dell'Acate.

Valle dell'Acate è una delle storiche realtà vitivinicole della Sicilia e della provincia di Ragusa. Da sempre impegnata nella produzione di vini da uve autoctone - Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Inzolia e Grillo - è una delle protagoniste del Cerasuolo di Vittoria e del Frappato di Vittoria. Nell'annata 2008 ha deciso di costruire un sogno su quella che sembrava essere un'annata eccezionale: così nasce Il Moro Limited Edition 2008, un grande vino che lascia immaginare un grande futuro per il Nero d'Avola firmato da Valle dell'Acate.

I first became acquainted with the wines of Fausto Albanesi  by happenstance.  I was purchasing wine from an online provider and I was short three bottles to fill out my order.  As I browsed through their offerings his 2010 base bottling of Montepulciano D' Abruzzo caught my eye, so I filled out the order with them.  I picked the wine because  I was familiar with the soft, full of fruit, mildly tannic wines that could be made from that grape.  In fact most Montepulciano D' Abruzzo can always be counted on for modest pricing and good quality.  Upon trying Torre Dei Beati's Montepulciano, to say that I was surprised with the purity and clean expression the wine showed would be an understatement.  We tried another bottle a few weeks later with a spicy ragout over pappardelle.  This served to confirm that we had found a diamond in the rough, so we anted up and purchased another six pack for the wine stash.  Fast forward to this year's Gambero Rosso, San Francisco and Torre Dei Beati wines were on our list of wines to try.  Fausto's wines have garnered many awards for excellence over the years and his "Cocciapazza" cru Montepulciano is a perennial three glass award winner at Gambero Rosso.   Some producers for various reasons may not attend the tasting and they have the distributor representatives show the wines.  Those producers that choose to make the trip have taken on a substantial financial commitment.  Larger producers with a vast network of distribution in the United States always have a line of people two or three deep.  Sometimes there can be a herd mentality at these tastings, so finding an under the radar winery that makes very fine wines, that others aren't knocking each other out to try can be rewarding.  This strategy is as simple as looking where others don't and seeking out unfamiliar grape varieties.  The line at Fausto's table was short and it worked to our advantage as we got to spend several minutes discussing his business.  Fausto's warmth and generosity with his time was unforgettable. Fausto and his family live in the hilly town of Loreto Aprutino, a small village of about 4,000 people near the Gran Sasso mountains, about 25 kilometers from the Adriatic coastline.  He first met his wife Adrianna at Vinitaly, the Italian Wine Exposition held every spring in Verona.   Their wine estate is near an area called Coccia Pazza, which in Italian Abruzzo dialect means crazyhead.  His next door neighbors, the mythical estate of Eduardo Valentini , forge wines that command unbelievable sums of cash.  Fortunately for us we don't have to spend eye popping amounts of money to experience Fausto's wines.  Torre Dei Beati wines are imported into the states, but you won't find them at big box stores or chains; look to a small specialty wine retailer to acquire them.  Cerasuolo, Trebbiano D' Abruzzo and Pecorino are wines that you may not be familiar with, but you need to try these wines to experience their purity and sense of place.  These and his entry level Montepulciano all retail in the $15 to $20 dollar range and are well worth the search.  His top tier Mazzamurello and Cocciapazza wines start at $35.    Join us as we find out more about Fausto and the wines of Torre Dei Beati, why he's chosen to farm organically from the outset and what makes his wines so special.  Thanks for listening.  Cheers!
