The Co-Owner and Winemaker for Da Silva Vineyards in Penticton talks about how valuable community support has been, overcoming adversity and what can help the small business move forward.

In recent years, there has been a lot of buzz around “volcanic wines.” The term makes it sound as if these are wines that are spawned from a volcano, but in reality these are wines that many people believe have special qualities because they grow on volcanic soils. In this show, I define the types of volcanoes before discussing the ecosystems they form. I then talk about the specific regions known to have volcanic wines, but I also point out that these areas have other factors that may create similarities in the wine – proximity to oceans, old vines (unaffected by phylloxera), and high elevations and cooling breezes. These must be considered, despite the fact that many of the volcanic wine groupies say flavor is purely from the soils. Here is the list of wines/places I discuss in the show:ItalyMount Etna, Sicily: Reds (Rosso of the Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio grapes), whites (Bianco, mainly of the Carricante grape)Soave, Veneto: Whites grown on specific hillsides (Garganega, Trebbiano di Soave grapes)CampaniaVesuvius: Whites of Coda di Volpe, Caprettone, Falanghina, Greco. Rosés and reds of Piedirosso, Aglianico, Sciacinoso Irpinia: Taurasi DOCG and Aglianico del Taburno DOCG: Reds of the Aglianico grape.

I dag er de nebbiolo baserede vine fra det øvre Piemonte ukendte for de fleste. Der var ikke desto mindre engang, hvor de var langt højere skattet end vinene fra Barolo 150 kilometer mod syd. Nu er Alto Piemonte igen på vej mod fordums storhed. Vi smager følgende vine: 2017 Nebbiolo Coste delle Sesia, Anzivino (159 kr. Terroiristen) 2017 Bramatera, Cascina Cottignano (265 kr. Terroiristen) 2018 Gattinara, Nervi (650 kr., Adriat Vinimport) 2016 Boca, Le Piane (495 kr.

What is the history of the Nebbiolo grape? What is the difference between Barolo and this wine, the 2017 Travaglini Giancarlo Gattinara? Find out this week with Brian Demay (audio taken from a live video broadcast). 

The wine usually is garnet in color, and have a rustic nature and an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of roses and woodsmoke. The wine's reputation for exceptional longevity is thanks to its very prominent tannins and high acidity. Levels of these are even greater than those of its more well-known cousins, Barolo and Barbaresco! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onthemicwithmike/message

Niente Langhe, Barolo e Barbaresco. Il piemontese Soldati decide di riservare il primo viaggio nella sua regione ai territori del Nord, aggiungendovi un'incursione in Valle d'Aosta.Lessona, Bramaterra, Caluso, Carema: “un po' come mandare in campo la seconda squadra”, si permette di giocare, alla luce delle tante pagine memorabili dedicate ai migliori vini di queste zone (vedi anche Ghemme e Gattinara) in altri articoli, racconti, romanzi.Ridendo e scherzando, però, Soldati inquadra da subito il gap che il Nord Piemonte già sconta nei primi anni '70 rispetto ad altre aree, e che si sarebbe ulteriormente ampliato nei decenni a seguire, perlomeno fino al nuovo millennio. Quando il distretto comincia pian piano a riconquistarsi attenzione, anche grazie al fascino per molti versi retrò di vini indiscutibilmente originali, legati a doppio filo alle specificità viticole e geologiche di un territorio complesso, ma al tempo stesso capace di suggerire una riconoscibile identità trasversale.Di tutto questo, e molto altro, parliamo con due brillanti scrittori e divulgatori, nonché appassionati conoscitori della vitienologia nord-piemontese.Con Fabio Pracchia, redattore della guida Slow Wine e autore del libro “I sapori del vino” (Slow Food Editore) ripercorriamo le tappe dell'itinerario soldatiano, scandite dalla leggenda dei tre vescovi di Biella, Ivrea e Aosta, con le loro bottiglie e vettovaglie.Per completare il quadro storico e produttivo, allargando lo sguardo alle denominazioni escluse dal viaggio, ci supporta invece Giorgio Fogliani, che ha da qualche mese pubblicato il suo ultimo lavoro di approfondimento, incentrato proprio sui vini del comprensorio: “Nord Piemonte. Tra Gattinara e Carema”, edito dalla Possibilia di Samuel Cogliati.Si compone così il consueto diario di bordo, pieno di nomi e indirizzi, vecchi e nuovi, che potranno tornare utili per perlustrazioni, visite, bevute e soste in zona. Senza dimenticare le fondamentali indicazioni gastronomiche che arrivano dalla nuova indagine dell'Ispettore Palma sulla cucina piemontese, per non parlare dei consigli di abbinamento rivelati in esclusiva per il nostro podcast dall'ultimo possessore dei vini scomparsi citati da Soldati: Umberto Emanuele Nebbiolone da Borgosesia.Tutti pronti per partire con la nostra carovana di amici e bottiglie, insomma: in marcia e buon divertimento!TIPICAMENTE PRESENTAVino al vino 50 anni dopoUn podcast di Paolo De Cristofaro e Antonio Boco Seconda serie, terza puntataNelle province di Torino, Vercelli, Aosta.

Seconda parte del giro in Piemonte accompagnati dalla splendida Giada Talpo! ---SPOILER---Alla fine momento emozionale!

I det här något virriga (som ni kommer höra i klippningen) och något abrupt avslutade avsnittet (förklaring på slutet) pratar vi allmänt om den Italienska vinregionen Piemonte och resan dit, samt vinområden, och ja...jag (som språkpolis) hatar Tobbe mer än någonsin för att han uttalar Schweiz på rätt sätt, och inte jag...av någon anledning. Vi provar vin från Gattinara och Ghemme. Mycket nöje!

The great grape of Piedmont has a lot in common with the great grape of Burgundy, but it may be even more selective about site and growing conditions. In this show, we tell you what to look for in a great Nebbiolo, plus places outside of Piedmont doing a good job with this finicky grape!   Here are more detailed show notes:  Nebbiolo Overview Parents of Nebbiolo likely are extinct 1268 earliest mention – called Nibiol 13th, 14thcenturies – one of the oldest, most widespread grapes in Piedmont In the 15th century, the penalties for chopping a Nebbiolo vine were stiff! Name – from nebbia or “fog” – thick bloom covering ripe berries, like they are covered in fog. Could also be b/c fog covers piedmont hills Four clone types: Nebbiolo Lampia – most widespread, more highly valued for the quality Nebbiolo Michet –virused form of Lampia Nebbiolo Bolla – declining because it’s too productive and dilute in flavor Nebbiolo Rosé – has evolved into a different grape, not a clone, but still blended in   Nebbiolo in the Vineyard: Early budding, VERY late ripening, can’t plant anywhere spring frosts are an issue Always given best hillside sites -- south and southwest facing Fussy about soil – really thrives only on calcareous marl north and south of the town of Alba, and on the right bank of Tanaro Not adaptable, doesn’t travel well Best vintages experiencedry weather during September & October Nebbiolo warmth to develop get sugar/alcohol and fruit flavors to balance high acidity and tannins Like Pinot Noir in ability to express terroir so differently – cru in Barbaresco/Barolo divided because it can pick up subtleties   Wine Character and Flavors: Light color, turns orange very fast High in acid and tannin PERFUMED!! Aromas – tar, dried cherries, licorice, violets, roses, decaying leaf, woodsmoke, earthy   Oak effect on Nebbiolo Small French oak barriques v. traditional large Slovenian oak casks, orbotti Small barrels = faster-maturing wines with less character. Most producers today use a mixture of the two, depending on the particular vintage, vineyard   Blending Can be used to add color and/or soften the grape's harsh tannins. Common blenders: Barbera, Bonarda, Croatina, in Roero: Arneis DOCG regulations for Barolo and Barbaresco call for the wine to be a 100% Nebbiolo.     Where is Nebbiolo Grown: Piemonte: Grows 3/4 of all Nebbiolo   Outside of Barolo and Barbaresco: Gattinara, Ghemme, Roero: 75-95% of Nebbiolo in Ghemme and Gattinara. Blended with Vespolina, Croatina, and Bonarda Other Piedmont DOCs to look for: Carema, Langhe Nebbiolo, Nebbiolo d’Alba – at least 85% Nebbiolo, often 100%   Lombardia – Nebbiolo called Chiavennasca Doesn’t ripen well often so the tannin and acidity are too high in these wines – Valtellina/ Valtellina Superiore   Lower part of Valle d’Aosta (a different province) – subalpine and in poor years there is harsh acidity and tannins   Outside Italy: Languedoc, France: Mas de Daumas Gassac, some in their top red blend Switzerland: 2 producers use it United States: California – 150 acres/61 ha in Paso Robles, Santa Cruz Mtns, Sierra Foothills, Amador, Moneterey, Santa Ynez, Santa Barbara. Thus far, producers have had a hard time finding the right sites for Nebbiolo Other U.S.: Washington State (Yakima), OR, VA, PA, TN, NM, in Canada – BC, Mexico Argentina: Mainly in  San Juan, Mendoza Some in Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, growing in popularity in Australia   And thanks to this week's sponsors!

Nelle carceri di Torino si è svolta una missione segreta di Giovanna Arborio di Gattinara, consorte del Marchese di Pianezza, acerrimo nemico dei valdesi. Fondatrice della Propaganda Fide ed extirpandis haereticis, vuole con ogni mezzo, anche con la guerra, riportare i valdesi alla vera fede cattolica. In quel luogo oscuro la Madama ha incontrato una famosa spia.

The Owl's Head 479 74TH STREET BROOKLYN, NY 1120 INFO@THEOWLSHEAD.COM The Wines Nebbiolo Wines - Wines made from Nebbiolo are characterized by their ample amounts of acidity and tannin. Most examples are wines built for aging and some of the highest quality vintages need significant age (at least a decade or more) before they are palatable to many wine drinkers and can continue to improve in the bottle for upward of 30 years. As Nebbiolo ages, the bouquet becomes more complex and appealing with aromas of tar and roses being the two most common notes. Other aromas associated with Nebbiolo include dried fruit, damsons, leather, licorice, mulberries, spice as well dried and fresh herbs. While Barolo & Barbaresco tend to be the heaviest and most in need of aging, wines made in the modernist style are becoming more approachable at a young age. Lighter styles from Carema, Langhe and Gattinara tend to be ready drink within a few years of vintage. Nebbiolo from California and Australia will vary from producer and quality of vineyard. Mexican Wine - La Santa comes from centenarian, own-rooted Rosa del Peru (Moscatel Negro) vines grown at 2,400 ft elevation on sandy loam and granite soils in Tecate. The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented without temperature control in 450 liter concrete tinajas with 45 days of maceration. The wine was then raised for 3 months in ½ stainless steel vats and ½ older barrels. A lively and vertical vin de soif, La Santa is almost rosé colored in the glass, delicately floral, with red and dark fruits and juicy acidity. A lovely red wine to serve chilled with charcuterie and cheeses.

This is a big one! Join me as I break down red wines of this amazing wine region. From Barolo to Gattinara, from Nebbiolo to Pelaverga there is so much to enjoy here!
