#riepilogo dopo la festa dei vitigni autoctoni, te

#riepilogo dopo la festa dei vitigni autoctoni, tenutasi ieri ad Alba e organizzata da @go_wine_ . Innanzi tutto, ringraziamo tutti colloro che sono venuti a trovarci e anche GoWine per l’ottima gestione dell’evento.
Dai discorsi al banco d’assaggio:
- Quale vitigno presentate?
- Il Moretto.
- Non l’ho mai sentito.
- Sì, questo è un sinonimo, il nome ufficiale è Lambrusca di Alessandria, ma è un po’ bruttino, per questo noi preferiamo usare il Moretto come nome.
- Bruttino?! Terrificante direi!
.
Usufruiamo l’occasione per fare un breve riepilogo su questo vitigno:
🍇la prima citazione confermata di questo vitigno con il nome Moretto risale agli anni 1830, anche se nell’opera del conte Nuvolone (1798) si trovano delle menzioni di ‘Lambrusca’ e ‘Croetto’, ma con riferimento a più di un vitigno;
🍇la LdA fa parte dei 82 vitigni autorizzati alla coltivazione in Piemonte;
🍇la LdA era ben diffusa, oltre i confini regionali era coltivata nel Varese, dove la chiamano Pezzé. Lo confermano anche i 42 sinonimi veri (vivc.de) fra i quali vediamo “Astigiana”, “Saluzzese”, “di Alba”. Secondo Prof. A. Schneider i sinonimi accertati in Piemonte sono 5: Moretto (Tortonese - Alessandria), Crova (Pinerolese - Torino), Crovìn (Roero - Cuneo), Croetto (Monferrato orientale - Alessandria), Stupèt (Astigiano)

Благодарим на @quila.bio в лицето на Бисер Атанасов и вносителите @cellar.52 @blagoy_kuzmanski за чудесната дегустация снощи.
Вярваме, че вината и разказите на Bisso бяха много вълнуващи и събуждащи апетита за откриване на все по-интересни бутилки от винения свят.
В следващите дни може да намерите вината на чаша при нас.

Който е дошъл, той е разбрал - виненият ни лист е неповторим и съзнателно подбран в идеята за максималното удоволствие и минималната намеса.
Имаме само 20 вина на бутилка + още 8 на чаша, но над 90% от тях са от био или биодинамично лозарство, с минимална или никаква интервенция в избата, демек - натурални.
Едно от вината ни е Favorita Langhe DOC на изба @quila.bio, което ще отворим и на дегустацията ни тази седмица. Фаворита е биотип на сорта верментино, за първи път се споменава (като Fermentino) в Пиемонт през 1658 г, а пикът на популярността му се случва през XIX век.
Легендата разказва, че това е било любимото вино на Bella Rosin, морганатичната съпруга на Vittorio Emanuele I I, първият крал на обединена Италия, така че в Пиемонт то придобива съвременното си име: Favorita.

Favorita е първото бяло грозде, с което започва да работи Бисер Атанасов в Пиемонт през 2012 г. Favorita Langhe DOC е ръчно набраното грозде, което се слага и ферментира в амфората. Ферментацията продължава 7-10 дни, а след това виното се прехвърля във френски дъбови бъчви.
Виното не е филтрирано, така че в някои бутилки може да има малко количество утайка.

Очаква ни много вълнуваща среща с вината на Quila, заповядайте този четвъртък след 18:30ч. в Мини бар на Гурко.

Тези вина са в България благодарение на @cellar.52 и @blagoy_kuzmanski 👏

Given that we have Enzo (or he has us, it's not very clear 😎) and that he consistently accompanies me in the vineyard trying wholeheartedly to help me (for example the other day I was planting some young vines and after I put them in the prepared hole in the soil and covered them, he dug and pulled them out - he thought that was the point of the hide-and-seek game we were playing! 🤣) I thought it might be a good idea to keep a trace of this puppy growing along with the vines this year. And also to show our #SoriEroici vineyards ("heroic hills", official certification of steep slope vineyards with more than 30% inclination). I just need to film Enzo while he's running around 🤣
.
Happy upcoming Easter, whom it concerns!

Check up at our bigger vineyard in Cossano Belbo. Let's start with the dancing Brunetta 😎. All the rest (Dolcetto, Favorita, Moretto aka Mexican Nebbiolo, Bonarda Piemontese and Tenjurìn) are still sound asleep.

20-27/03/2023 - season kicks off. A week ago the Baratuciat (a local white variety) was ahead of all (same like last year), then Nebbiolo woke up and see what a progress in just 3 days! At 400 m a.s.l. at our main vineyard in Cossano, the old Nebbiolo is 3-5 days behind. So, it started. Amen!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
#jesuismouton 😎
I have decided (for various reasons) to release some of my wines with different label every year. The new vintage (2021) of BRIC BISSARELLO that will be presented in a couple of weeks at #Vinitaly2023 carries a label from the talented young artist @marta_pitchuk and the name of the artwork is "UKRAINE" 💛💙 (and that says it all). I am extremely grateful to Marta that she permitted me to use her artwork for my label. Let's do everything we can in order to support Ukraine in its fight against the world's evil!
.
🔸For those who doesn't know or remember, the "Bric" is an old vine field mix of 8 (so far) genetically confirmed different varieties, where the Dolcetto has the lion's share. It's our most "medaled" wine.

For those who know us we will present the 2021 vintage of 4 of our wines: 🔸Bric Bissarello (Langhe Rosso), 🔸Jeff Pramas (Nebbiolo "ripasso"), 🔸MUS*Quila (orange Zibibbo) and 🔸MX*Quila (Mexican «Nebbiolo»). There will also be the new white pet.nat FAL🔸Quila (FAL is for Favorita dell'Alta Langa) that recently got a DOC - one of the first bivarietal Piemonte DOC (Favorita+Moscato) ever produced;
.
The Bric, the FAL and another version of the dry Moscato (the regular bottling) will be also present at the tasting area of @consorziobarberaastimonferrato (Pav. 10)
.
So see you soon, folks!

So, I am midway through pruning. This one is the newly taken vineyard in Guarene (Roero) - for the most part Nebbiolo and a small part of Arneis, planted in 1973-1974 as you can see following the "Mosel tradition", not the Langhe one (vertical rows). It's also on lyre (a vine architecture where the shoots form two "walls" instead of the one, typical for VSP). The video's speed is doubled and no, it's not filmed backwards, the slope is so steep that this is the only mode of getting up the hill with less pain in one's legs. See more in stories.

#vineyardpractices but from the series "you never knew". Last year I replanted a small part of the vineyard, on the same hill, in the upper part some 'sélection massale' of red varietals from the oldest vineyards (Barbera, Freisa, Uvalino et al) and Chardonnay & Grignolino in the lower part (featured), a total of 0,5 ha more or less. In July despite the very dry weather there was a lot of grass in the new vineyard so I decided to remove it. A tractor passed between the rows and cut it. Between the vines it had to be removed by hand, with a hoe. So we started from the upper part one Friday afternoon and uncovered all the uphill vineyard. By Sunday morning the sun burnt all the Barbera, all of it (and just it!). Not knowing how the Grignolino and the Chardonnay will react I cancelled the works for Monday and the grass in the lower vineyard remained there until today (2nd photo). It totally covered all the young vines. When we removed it, as you can see (1st photo), the young vines seem to have grown well and most of them are alive. Another very important issue, the soil under the grass and between the vines was humid (!!!) 1 cm under the surface (we haven't had significant rain here since December) whilst the upper vineyard looks like a beach (pure sand, see 3rd video) and the young vines are underdeveloped.
We'll need to finetune all the practices in the vineyard, especially if the dry & hot weather keeps on.
