Literally "All Hallows's Eve" or "All Saints' Eve", Halloween is an ancient Irish tradition that has its origins in Samhain, the Celtic New Year. On the eve of each new year, which coincided with October 31, the Celts organized a big party to exorcise the fear of death with the joy of celebration, wearing grotesque masks to ...
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 ...

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. ...

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…
