The gaps in the genetic knowledge of grape varieties have stimulated numerous studies, a kind of compelling and mystical journey back in time. First looking at literary and historical sources, and then in search of the parents or acts of kin, of the most important grape varieties is often represented by just one of a few surviving individuals in order marginal vineyards or in a demographic collections without which any attempt at evolutionary reconstruction will be impossible. One of the greatest difficulties encountered in such research is the change that has occurred over time to the names of grape varieties. From the regional Greek or Latin to a kind of medieval vernacularization and subsequent linguistic appropriation, the names of grape varieties have gradually changed and evolved over time. Often within a name, vines with similar morphological characteristics or analogical hues have been hidden in a kind of varietal family. The term culture understood in the sense of cultivation and culture in the sense of ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society share the same etymology. They both derive from the Latin, Colire, to cultivate, and only apophonic phenomena, have distinguished them in our language since Roman times. In other languages like English, for example, this distinction is not present. This explains why the peasants of the past have been called creative artists by some scholars. In fact, The work is comparable to that of an artist who manipulates its materials to produce a work of art. Their lexical dexterity and great ability to invent names succeeded in giving the vine a distinctive characteristic, its name. Semantic analysis provides interesting clues about the evolution of cultivation of divine. Thanks to developments in paleoanthropology, linguistics and cognitive pathology, we increasingly understand intertwining of biological and cultural evolution that allow us to discern the meaning of words and the underlying biological correlations. The phrase Nomen as Omen It's a Latin Locution that literally translated mints. The name is an Omen. A more communicative translation might be aptly named. Physiognomy has tried to derive names from people's physical traits as it does with vines. There are countless examples. What's in a name? Juliet asks Romeo. That which we call a rose by any other name will be smell as sweet. Assuming she existed, Juliet was probably speaking to Romeo in some obscure medieval Italian dialects, certainly not in Shakespeare's English, yet the word by which she referred to that sweet smelling flower would have had the same linguistic root as the English rose, which is the same in so many languages spoken throughout Europe, in German, with a capital initial, in French, Rusia in Croatia and Rose Ingelic spoken in Scotland. How did such geographically remote languages use such similar words for the same flower? The answer, of course, is that they all belong to the same linguistic family, the Indo European, and thus have the same origin. The name of wine, wine is another wandering word whose origins are even more distant, as shown by Messinian war, no, Greek onos, and Latin Venom. Even different cultural settings, Albania, Armenian guinea, Hebrewo Yajin, Arabic wine, confer the same cemented brews. The technological origin of the term vine from Latin Vidis, late Latin Vitinus, and medieval vernacular Viteños, as an undaunted, are you European derivation, with your root, whey, or whey, meaning to bad, to turn, to shape due to the climbing nature of the plan that requires a brace that conditions its development. Hence, the plan's connection to the drink may from it. From a semantic point of view, the formation of by names is a fairly recent phenomenon. Though we find in the writings of Latin scholars pliny in particular, the basis of the criteria for the formation of lexical material, it developed only later. Especially from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries from numerous areas of everyday life and the natural environment where vine cultivation was practiced. Dearless Italian documents mentioning wine names rather than grape varieties are the municipal statues and duty tariffs in use during delayed middle ages and usually referred luxury wines such as Malvasia, Moscati, Vermache, and Trebani. Only after the fifteen hundreds, did varietal attestations become more frequent and precise? Only from eighteen hundred with developments in Empoloography, did particular great varieties assume a precise biological and identifying label. Some guiding criteria used in the naming of grape varieties can be identified. The color characteristics of the grape. Among these, the most widely used were those that identified a grape variety by the color of the berries and were very much in Vogue in plaintiff's time. For example, the Columbina grape variety named for the word columba or dove, for the red color of the pedestals of the berries, like that of a pigeon slags, Bianqueta, from white, Rosara, from red, Verdicchio, from green, verde, Pigato, from Machiato, meaning spotted or stained, Ansonica in Solita, from Ansoria, old French term for the saurian golden color of the berries exposed to the sun. Corvina, the black color of the crowd. Sensory characteristics of grapes or wine. Peverilla for a peppery spicy flavor, Dolceto mistakenly attributed to the French gesset duce noir, slightly sweet, and instead from Doxeti, grapes cultivated on the bumps in Doyani. Maumolo, for the scent of Maumola, the Italian word for violets, Nasko from Muscomb, the odor emitted by the sex glands of some deer similar to Muscat chimichaptola for the smell of the insects. Marro Daphne, Black Laurel for the Spice Europa. Italian wine podcast brought to you by mama jumbo shrimp. Morphological or productive characteristics of the grape variety. Regina or menabakka, as in cow's otter, Zibibo, whose Greek synonym is Bumasta, from Bose mastos, Olidella, from berry, with the shape of an olive, Dura China, and cedarities from the hardness and crispness of the berries, Grignolino, and for the richness of grape seeds, grignole, and Arillli in Pierre Montez and Sicily respectively. Groopello from Groopto, a reference of the knob shaped bunch, Uvarara, for the sparse bunch, Met Van Didi, an Armenian vine meaning large bunch, Metcivani Kachuri, a Georgian vine meaning green from Kaketi, Ojaleshi climbing wind, finding its wild origin, red chute, savaravi, red color, dire, frappato, from free. Neabialo also belongs to this phenomenological category, but deserves special study. Seriously, the origin of the name Gallola Latino is from Spionia, Evine mentioned by Marshall, which derives from spinous wild black horn because of the presence of a clear layer of blue on the berries, which makes it appear as if covered by a mist. From this term originates the romance word spanna, by which Nipiolo is called in the Novara area, and the name Prunet, which designates Nipiolo in the Osula valley. The grape variety, prunezstan, also comes from frost and black fort because of the late ripening and the color of the fog on the berries. Names derived from places of cultivation. These are among the most frequent destinations, partially because they are derived from George culture. While the Romans designated wines with the places of origin, imagine evil times grape varieties were named with the place of origin of the wine, such as Malazilla and Renache. Other examples include Lannio from the islands of Namno, Fokian, from the town of Foccea, on the Greek coast of Asia Minor, Erodidis from Roads Gruk, which means Greek in Croatia, a vine from the islands of Cortula. Emlumatic is the case of Nero Davala, which known in the past by the name Calabrioze, which does not indicate origin from Calabrio, but from an expression in the sicilian vernacular. In fact, the word Calabrioze derives from Calawi or Calabrioze Kala, meaning bunch, and alizi, meaning from Avola. Also reaching meaning is the name of Susumaniello, a Brindisi Greek variety, also known as Gucci Bariello, Zingarielo, or Summerelo. Because of the crispness of its berry and resistance of the skin to transportation, it was called a basket grape. Which could be transported in baskets on the back of a donkey. A learned urging of the name recalls to the phonic deity of the Roman Olympus Sumanos, god of nocturnal thunder, worshiped as lord of the rings on the other side of the Adratic. A special case in points is to reach Kazoo Street of Frullian grape names. Chanore from the Frullian Chanor canute from the light color of the vegetation or perhaps for the appearance of Yaurita on the wine, given its low alcohol contents. Drízenak, grown in the high valleys of the Natizone, from the slovenian Drien, Colonel, farinele, from Latizana, for the ash color bloom of the berries went right, a characteristic shared by Fumaat, whose name is based on the Frillian word Fuate meaning fog. Singular is the origin of the name of the grape variety Giate from the Frillian Gatta for the characteristic black color of certain cats. Picolette incorrectly attributed to the size of the berries, but more correctly to return the call, top of the hill, a location chosen to ensure optimal ripeness for this grape variety. Finally, Refosco, from refos off shoot of the vine from the Latin refosus dug out, from which the free Julian Rifusen. Listen to the Italian wine podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
