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 old real on the spot. Chinchin wine nerds.

Is quite recent appalachian, in the late sixty, just, started to produce, French Corta wines, and the wines that we know today was mainly an investment for the big, business man. In, from from Milan especially. And they started to invest and plant, especially Pino Bianco. And, what it was called before, Pinojalo, which is, yeah, it's actually Chardonnay. It was called Pinojalo before. Like, you know, wrong way, but that's what it was doing. The the blue the blue part, in London. It's very small. Very small area. You know, So this is the same slide that we saw for lugana. We are in the same period of time during the last realization, the quaternary. Just, they were former, Lugana, and French Accord at the same time. But Lugana is associated with Lake Ogarde. That's why French Corte is, with the lake of Isaiah, as much smaller lake too. So the the reaver is going from go through the dolomites and bring down all this limestone material. So this is very different from Lugana, which is mainly again, clay, clay, and loamy soil from the glacial. This is the area of the southern part. You have the highway, which is, is actually is the the the the southern board. And then on the right side, you have the hill part, the hills. On the left side, you have the river that delimited the the western border, the river. So this is Black's same circle that you see. Those are called the Morenic circle. And, these are formed in a different times. The one closest to the highway, so the more external one are the oldest. During the There is. There are two main glasation. One is the ritz. Okay. The ritz was the oldest. It's about the external one, and the Vuhrme is the the the younger globalization, which is the very last one. Yeah. If the old Marine is the very last area of tertiary. It's across the continent. The, more energy because of all the request. So he he said that you want to explain, the difference between retreat plane, recent monitoring and external undulation. So the undulation and the retreat plane, there were, there there are some significant difference. So here, you need to imagine to cut the frontal Corta area in a section a to b and then you find, the, retreat plane and the undulation. The undulation are the highest part in altitude while the retreat plane is the lowest part. And this is, the you find many of these. It's all the the land is like this. Sorry. It's like this. The So on the lower part of the retreat playing, the So the the retreat plane are those that you find on the middle, the lower part. And Yeah. On the external undulation on the ridges, the the the soils are more, sandy, and that's the form through your glacial origin. That's where we found this kind of sandy and stony soils. And this creates a very big difference when you make the base wine for the sparkling French of Corta. The oldest part in this section is the one from the oldest equalization. There is one. And the, the one more close to the, the surface of the soil is the most recent one. The the bull. And the river, create, a big difference between the area because it changed actually the, the the glacial origin of the soil. It became flubfrugal glacial origins with a different deposit in a different area. And this didn't happen, lugano. We happened a little bit in the area close to Bardolino. Yeah. Only in the part close to Bardolino happened, but not as much as happened, in a French court. Profundi. See the positive area, the positive morning. It is describing what actually we are reading here. This is the fluevio glacial soil and, knockout by coarse deposit, thin, and moderately deep soil, then the morenic. We have So the the the part on the hills on the ridges are those moreenic. Yeah. But the the lower part, the moreenic soil and the highest part, the more scenic fin. So the Flugia glacial part is the one that changed most. That we have to reach. And between the regions, between the seals, we have the the the thin part, which is the deposit of, clay and seal. So you have on the, started from the left. You have the fruit flavio, glacial origin soil, with the and in the middle you have the the moraine soil. So, those on the on the on the reach. And, finally, you have the the the finest soil, which are on, the plain between the the different hills. And here, these are the more similar to the, lugana soils.
