L’imbottigliamento: l’ultimo atto che decide il destino di un vino
L'imbottigliamento è molto più di una semplice fase finale: è il momento in cui si decide il futuro del vino. Dalla gestione dell'ossigeno alla scelta della chiusura, dalla filtrazione alla qualità della bottiglia, ogni dettaglio può influenzarne l'evoluzione negli anni. Un approfondimento tecnico per capire perché, nel mondo del vino, anche l'ultimo gesto è fondamentale per preservare il lavoro del vignaiolo e portare nel calice un vino capace di raccontare fedelmente la propria identità.

Tasting Notes: Maximilian Lager
I was weirdly excited to brew this recipe when I wrote the original brew day post as a stand-alone. I was able to taste the first batch of this recipe at Homebrew Con, but that is not the same thing as being able to enjoy a full pour. Needless to say, I couldn't conduct a side-by-side of that batch either. This time I gave the beer a name. I bought the tins of extract during a Black Friday sale last fall. When I purchased lager yeast for my recent Pale Kellerbier, it only made sense to re-pitch it for a batch that was already in the pipeline. The batch did get three weeks to ferment extra cold, before going into a keg for lagering. When I tasted the beer at that time, I picked up some diacetyl. I let the keg warm up to cellar temperature and sit for a week as a crude diacetyl rest. Then the keg lagered all summer until there was space in my keezer to put it on tap. For my commercial side-by-side, I saw Notch had their excellent Vienna Lager on tap at their Salem brewe

InvecchiatIGP: Villa Russiz - Collio Sauvignon De la Tour 2004
di Lorenzo Colombo Non ci sembrava molto adatto al clima di questi giorni scegliere un vino rosso per la rubrica del sabato InvecchiatIGP, ci siamo così rivolti al quella parte di cantina dove riposano le vecchie bottiglie di vini bianchi ed abbiamo pescato questo famoso Sauvignon del Collio con oltre vent’anni sulle spalle, prodotto da Villa Russiz , una storica azienda del Collio, fondata nel 1868 dal Conte Theodore de La Tour. L’azienda fa parte delle proprietà dell’Istituto Adele Cerruti, una nobildonna che dopo la Prima Guerra Mondiale fondò un orfanotrofio in quella che fu la dimora del Conte de La Tour e della di lui moglie Elvine von Zahoni che, rimasta vedova, rientrò in Austria. I proventi dell’azienda servono a finanziare la scuola convitto per bambini di famiglie disagiate. L’azienda dispone di 45 ettari di vigneti per una produzione annuale di 250.000 bottiglie. Villa Russiz è stata diretta per lunghi anni dall’enologo Gianni Menotti, succeduto nella conduzione al padre Ed

videoCalifornia Port-Style Wines: St. Amant Winery + WSET Tasting Notes
In this video, I explore three exceptional Port-style fortified wines from St. Amant Winery in Lodi, California, made by Stuart Spencer and his family. The Spencer family has been working with Portuguese grape varieties since the 1970s, developing a distinctive Californian take on traditional fortified wine styles. I taste three wines from Volume Six of the Bastardo Society: St. Amant Verdelho Port 2016 St. Amant Bastardo Port 2016 St. Amant Tawny Port 2016 Along the way, I look at the history of St. Amant Winery, the Spencer family's Portuguese connection and the challenges of growing varieties such as Bastardo in California. I assess each wine using full WSET-style tasting notes, making this particularly useful if you're studying fortified wines at WSET Level 3 or Diploma. 🍷 Join the St. Amant Bastardo Society: https://stamantwine.com/bastardo-society/ Use discount code JIMMY26 for 15% off your purchase. 🍷 Join the Wine with Jimmy Club: https://e-learningwine.winewithjimmy.
