Genetically distinct from other varieties with your Roses a name, including Roses de Bianco Diarcola, and rosses de Campo Diquiza of the Sabona area. Its origins aren't clear, but references to it exist back in the eighteenth century. Indavignor, difficult to grow and require sides away from the sea, immaintaneous vineyards with well drained soils. Cocaris clay soils make the best examples. The steep slopes of the vineyards make hand tending the vines a necessity. Leading to a relatively small number of producers and total production. Very sensitive to location, including Vineier altitude, with higher altitudes, giving fresher fruit expression. Innavignor. Pail ruby appearance, aromas in flavors of fresh strawberry, rose, black pepper, and red currant with balsamic notes. Medium plasticity, low to medium body, low tenon. Agent in stainless steel or barrels to allow the fresh fruit character to remain prominent. Dry red wine, fresh, bright, and easy to drink.

One of the few aromatic red grape varieties, Rokey grows primarily in the Monferato area of piedmont. Previously thought that divine was imported from France, but DNA evidence suggests it is a cross between Cortina and Malvasia Romatica Diarma. It may have been grown around the village of Castagioli Mufferato as far back as the middle ages. There is no clear origin of the name, and it could be a reference to Ronciete, ADCs, that resists better than other Piedmontese varieties, or the known defunct St. Hawk, Benaditee Minoceri. The grape was nearing extension, but it was revitalized by Don Jacob Macauda who inspired a winemaking movement that led to the creation of the Castagnale DOC. It has seen significant growth in plantings and production since twenty ten. In the vineyard, early ripening with low acidity and firm tenons, An important winemaking consideration is how to balance the low acidity. With higher acidity and less ripen tenon with more fully rapid rakes. Divast soil is dry and cakaries, which provides more perfume and aromatic wines. Clay soils provide more structure and deeper color, and wines require more time for refinement. In the glass, medium ruby color, intense rose petal, and geranium aromas with nodes of red berries, black pepper, cardamom, and mints. Low acidity, medium body powdery tenon. May be aged in large barrels, allowing for refinement. Younger examples show more aromatics, and after a few years, we'll have reduced aromatics and more complexity. Specific styles. Traditionally, a sweet style, but don't Cauda developed the dry style that is more prominent today. Castagno DOCG, requires ninety percent minimum Ruke grapes with up to ten percent Barbera or Bracito.

Benchmark producers, Luca Ferzano, Montalbera, Fabritca caldera. Sagrantino, description found in the montefi core region of umbria. With thick skins and high polyphenol concentration, it is the most standard grade in Italy. Plantings have increased significantly and it's grown in popularity. As there are no known genetic linkages to other Italian grapes, it isn't clear whether it is native or traditional grape. The name may be a reference to Sagra Fiz or Sacristia, communion wine. It has been referenced since the sixteenth century, although it may have been known to the Romans. Histardly Sanrentino was made in Pasadena style sweet wines, but was vinified as a dry wine commercially in the nineteen seventies. There are three primary clones of Sanrentino, and blends of the three clones make the best wines. In the vineyard, because of the thick skin and high tenants, balancing tannin where ripeness is an important consideration due to the relatively small amount of grape juice in proportion to skins. Culcareous clay soils are preferred for adequate phenolic ripening and warm continental summers provide higher sugar content to create structural balance. Attoquate time is also needed for phenolic ripening in order to provide a smoother mouth feel from the tannins. Soil minerality is also important as Sacramento requires magnesium and can suffer from excess potassium. In the cellar, the stemming and soft pressing, in some cases, only using free run juice can help the balancing tenants, and wood aging is often used and require in the monte FICO segmentino or docG. To bring roundness and further tannic developments. The Montefico Sanrentino DOCG zone includes the areas around Montefico, Devania Castel Ritali, general delumbria, and wildo Catano. In general, Montefico wines can be more structured, Castello Ritaly, and wildo Catano more approachable. General delumbria, more powerful and Bevania more floral. In the glass, deep ruby color with nodes of blackberry, black cherry, violet, olive licorice. Dry medium plus acidity, high tenon with velvet texture, Age examples take a leathery and earthy notes. Oak aging can be enlarged, used barrels, or new barreeds. Specific styles. Has hardly made as a sweet pacito style, although now produced as a dry red wine.
