Ep. 658 VIA Day 2 Pt. 4(IT/EN) | #everybodyneedsabitofscienza

Welcome to another installment of everybody needs a bit of Shenza. Class is in session. Follow the professor, in his advanced wine seminars during the Venetal International Ambassador Certification course flagship edition in verona. Seminers were on the ten must known Italian soils, Evinid el Foco, Evinid elmare, and Evinid el gacho. Just in fire, water, and ice. Very game of Thrones, but way more nerdy, and of course, starring our very own superhero Professor Chienza. Oh, and for all those English speakers only in the house, Chienza's sidekick Francesco Marcio was there to back him up all the way, translating all the material on the spot. Chinchin wine nerds. Hi, everybody. Italian wine podcast celebrates its fourth anniversary this year. And we all love the great content they put out every day. Chinching with Italian wine people has become a big part of our day, and the team in verona needs to feel our love. Producing the show is not easy folks, hurting all those hosts, getting the interviews, dropping the clubhouse recordings, not to mention editing all the material. Let's give them a tangible fan hug with a contribution to all their costs. Head to Italian wine podcast dot com and click donate to show your love. Number eighteen. So this is, again, is different soil. You you can never look while we start talking about the next topic. It's it's just it's always the same structure of the previous slide. That is posted in San Jose. It's important to say that, is how San Jose respond to the study. That's the final to the world of Ontario. It's very different. The the really the soil make a difference on on sangio peso. And we moved to Boulja to primitivo. Marina, eco, cash. I wish. Abiano, deposit. The, the, or the, the, the, the, the, the, the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the primitive Empulia. And, we found, vessels found two different, area. One is, Salento, and one is Yonik Hart. This is important to say, we, we don't find any fish here. But these are, two types. We have two types of marine deposit and, so this is an organic material, sedimented from marine origin. In the the Salentino is the more recent part while the Arco Yonico is the oldest part, but they are all they have the same origin just to different era. And it's line number twenty. Pure, pure chaney. Yeah. This is the back of, Pulia in Miochaney. The the part you can see more is, the merger where they call colonized. That's the name of the the fossil sedimentary marine soil are, more present, around the oldest, because those were the the the one we can see. Those are the merger, they're the oldest part. The other part of Pullia in the Mu chain five million years ago was still under the water. Materially organically in organically. Yeah. This is the original carcarina. Basically, you can see it's very straightforward the material deposit and then there is another layer. So sand on top then deposit again. That's always common. So this is uh-uh a soil made of mainly organic uh-uh sediments. Back to the depositor. This is a is to simplify but actually there are these deposits are made like terraces and because the sea goes up in in an hate and then goes down and so the movement of the sea basically and created the shape of terraces. And the name actually is called Terata marina marine terraces. That's the the the name of this type of sediments. Slide twenty two. The the the depositing, here. Yeah. So we got two main color which is, they they they define two different type of soil, all both are the marine origins. So the same origins. We already said But, because they were formed in a different time in the geological areas, we have, the the green part, it's, it's very sandy part. And while the the blue part is more on limestone, and this is the part that ends to the the mountains. This is a section of the previous slide, and you can these are the same colors of the blue one. So they're all it's all limestone, but the blue one is the oldest and the green one is more recent. It's all all terrorists. This is what the the the the the we can see here four different terraces, which is made in four different time, geological time. So, Eric was asking on the the slide number twenty on the map. He say what's the age? What was the age of the Murja area? So the one that we can see from the only part we can see ofulia. That's the the merger was formed around the same time of happenings with around forty to fifty million. It's actually part of happenings. When it was formed at the same time. So this is our our hard soil. It's difficult to create create vineyards here because it's very hard to break down the soil. And you can see on the left side, it's other soil older like two hundred million years ago. And on the right side, it's more recent two million years ago. The same things, but the structure change and the the geological time we were for were formed is changed. So here is On the blue side, this is the which is a fracture, and this is the only fracture that we have in Italy. This is is is is is is is another story, but just to let you know, this is the the fracture that cause the the earthquakes in the happenings. To maintain this to you. You said they are the unique cards. Yeah. The green one is the most recent. The the origin of is the same of the soil, but the structure of the limestone is different. So this also make the difference when we we make make the wine. Hey guys. This is a brief intermission to give a shout out to our new sponsor. Federal wine, the largest wine store in Italy since nineteen twenty. We are delighted to have them on board and thank them for their generous support and our new t shirts. Find out more on Italian wine podcast dot com. Now back to the show. So we now moved to Barolo and here, it's a much longer process because it started twenty three million years ago and finished six million years ago. That's the the slide twenty eight I'm sure many of you knows in in Bruno. And this is slide twenty nine. The the the the you know, So this is another, slide regarding the African push. And, professor say, when the push was, in the out was, occurred and the outs were formed, they left uh-uh like a hole. And that hole became the alluvial plane, Kanura Padana. You can see from the the arrow, the red arrow is the push, and the green one is trying to resist out to the push. And the next one is number thirty. The way with it, in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the because it costa costa rated the the the the the the the the the few media to rent the economy. This is the the the beginning of a quaternary area, during the last glasation, And, you can see here was the water, the Adriatic sea, arriving in Antibarola, which is the the red dot in the map, and the houses were covered by highs, where it was the glassation occurring. And we see a lot of also lakes and river at this time. There was the was looking like that. This are the is the commodity tertiary basing and professor was mentioning we have a different type soil form in different area and geological times. But what we are interested here is a Tortonian and Saravallian, Tatoniano and Ceravalliano. Those are the key so if, they play a key role for the formation of Barolo. Because the Lanciano and Bruno are much, much deeper soil. So we are no interested in that. While the Messignano is more on railroad, railroad, area. So for Barolo, it's tortonian and Sarabalia, that we are interested in, we will talk about today. And that it's surely So here we have the two main stories we're talking about. Is a sub zone of ceravallian soil. So just what I asked to propose. But we'll see the next slide. Just to answer it to, Harry question, it was asking about the flish formation and, clay, and calcutres. The professor is saying the, where we find more clay, we are more limestone. But also are not particularly high in in limestone. The more clay hair, there are more lights on, but it's not really something that identifies at all. The big difference is is is actually from this slide. The the the person touch of clay or sandstorm. And we are slide thirty three. This is a tortoni and soil, but a free different type of tortoni which you just say. It depends on the percentage of, clay and sand. The the policy. So the the picture number one, the top soil, it's, it's not so compact. It's not, the layers are not so evident. Listen to the Italian wine podcast.
