It is of fundamental importance for the excellent success of a vineyard to choose the right rootstocks, characterizing the balance of the plant according to the type of soil. In our country about 40 rootstocks are authorized and new ones have been developed alongside the classic ones in recent years. But why do I have to graft? With the advent of Phyllossera (Phyllossera ...
Gum arabic is obtained from the exudate of two varieties of acacia of African origin, Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal. Chemically, gum arabic is a hydrophilic colloid made up of a mixture of oligosaccharides of arabinogalactans, and glycoproteins. The ratios between the sugars that form the polysaccharide and glycoprotein chains are different in the gums ...
When salt crystals precipitate they are not always accepted by the consumer and buyer, but we don't have to worry because it is a natural process. We understand why. In grapes, Potassium and Tartaric acid are present in separate compartments and starting from pressing they come into contact in the same solution giving rise to supersaturation conditions in the must. ...
ITALIAN LEGISLATION… BUT GOING UP THE WARRANTY PYRAMID DO WE REALLY HAVE SOMETHING MORE? MORE QUALITY OR MORE TRACEABILITY? What is guaranteed? According to EC regulation 1234/2007, wine is the product obtained exclusively from the alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes whether they are pressed or not.

Here we are !!!!! We prepare our plant for awakening. It will be a little different than when it went into dormancy and stored its reserves in the roots in the form of starch (polysaccharide used to move sugars). The pruning of the vine is essential not only for productive purposes, but also obviously for vegetative ones. There…
For this occasion we thought about which wine most of all identified our company as production importance, even with only 8500 bottles. Our "SCUTUM" represents the birth of the project and the backbone of the company, just as a family man is the pillar on which children can lean, ask for help and ...
The key is always getting the job done right. If we were to extrapolate a formula that ensures the acceleration of company growth in terms of perception and guarantee, it would certainly differ little from this: EXCLUSIVITY + HIGH PERCEPTION + REFERENCE MARKET + PRODUCT CARE + CONTROL + HARD WORK = SMALL COMPANY WITH ...
Can wine be stained by the moon? Today I thought of writing something apparently abstract but that has influenced the popular beliefs and traditions of the past but also those of the present according to which the moon has the power to make wine better or worse and to guarantee or not its evolution and ...
Turning on the web, this brilliant title appeared to me which compared one of the most resonant areas in Italy with the neighboring area of the lower Val di Cecina. The wines of Montescudaio do not enjoy the glamor that the Bolgheri area releases, reconfirming and strengthening itself from year to year. Are the…
It happens many times to see an expert person taste a wine and not actually understand what he is perceiving. Many times, before diving into this world, I felt almost at fault in this sector. But do you know why? Because I didn't even know the basics. I did not even know what logic that individual of ...
