Notas do Editor
- Viticulture (from the Latin word for vine) is the science, production and study of grapes which deals with the series of events that occur in the vineyard. When the grapes are used for winemaking, it is also known as viniculture. It is one branch of the science of horticulture.
- The Arte dei Vinattieri guild established strict regulations on how the Florentine wine merchants could conduct business. No wine was to be sold within 100 yards (91 m) of a church. Wine merchants were also prohibited from being served to a child under 15 or to prostitutes, ruffians and thieves..
- Show examples of bottles with the different naming types i.e. Voga pinot grigio Chianti Tignanello
- Tenuta San Guido was established by Mario Incisa della Rochetta. Considered the seminal "Super Tuscan", the name Sassicaia (Italian sasso meaning stone) indicating a stony field,[1] originated in 1948 when first produced by Incisa della Rochetta using Cabernet Sauvignon vines reputedly sourced from Château Lafite-Rothschild,[2] and for years only used for family consumption.[1] From 1968, internationally renowned consultants were engaged to improve the production, such as Giacomo Tachis and Émile Peynaud.[1] Small commercial quantities were not released until in the mid 1970s.[4] At a 1978 Decanter tasting of "great clarets", a panel including Hugh Johnson, Serena Sutcliffe and Clive Coates awarded the 1972 Sassicaia victory over a field of 33 wines from 11 countries, and established the wine's international reputation.[1] Since the 1980s the position of Sassicaia has been by some accounts eclipsed by Ornellaia, produced by the property adjacent to Tenuta San Guido, suggested to be its owner Lodovico Antinori’s competitive answer to his cousin Nicolò Incisa's Sassicaia and his older brother Piero Antinori's wine, Solaia.[5] In the late 1990s Sassicaia was granted its own DOC (Bolgheri), the only wine from a single estate in Italy to enjoy this privilege.[4] Before that, and in similarity to other wines made outside the traditional DOC/DOCG regulations, Sassicaia was classified as an Indicazione geografica tipica (IGT). Initially it was a Vino da tavola, which is normally a category for wines of little complexity.
- he grand duke's vision protected the name of the wine which has since become one of the most famous wines of Italy. Perhaps more important it protected the name of Chianti Classico. Identified 4 communes (discreet production zones) that are allowed to produce Chianti Classico: Greve Radda Gaiole Castellina
- Denominazione di origine controllata ("Controlled designation of origin") is an quality assurance label for food products, especially wines and various formaggi (Denominazione di Origine Protetta). It is modelled after the French AOC. It was instituted in 1963 and overhauled in 1992 for compliance with the equivalent EU law on Protected Designation of Origin, which came into effect that year. All three require that a food product be produced within the specified region using defined methods and that it satisfy a defined quality standard. The need for a DOCG identification arose when the DOC designation was, in the view of many Italian food industries, given too liberally to different products. A new, more restrictive identification was then created, as similar as possible to the previous one so that buyers could still recognize it, but qualitatively different. A notable difference for wines is that DOCG labelled wines are analysed and tasted by government–licensed personnel before being bottled. To prevent later manipulation, DOCG wine bottles then are sealed with a numbered governmental seal across the cap or cork. Italian legislation additionally regulates the use of the following qualifying terms for wines: ···classico (classic): is reserved for wines produced in the region where a particular type of wine has been produced "traditionally". For the ··Chianti Classico, this "traditional region" is defined by a decree from July 10, 1932. ···riserva (reserve): may be used only for wines that have been aged at least two years longer than normal for a particular type of wine. Wines labelled DOC or DOCG may only be sold in bottles holding 5 litres or less. For wines produced in Bolzano, where German is an official language, DOC may alternatively be written as Kontrollierte Ursprungsbezeichnung and DOCG may be written as Kontrollierte und garantierte Ursprungsbezeichnung.[1]
- The G means Garantita, meaning that, the tasting-control boards absolutely guarantee the stylistic authenticity of a wine
- Translation: since the wine has been aged in wood for a period of over 2 years the wine will have either a grilled, smoky or nutty aroma.
