ITAlIAN wINE: AN ENDlESS ADVENTURE

INTRODUCTION

PART 1 – VITIS VINIFERA AND ARChAEOlOGy

Archaeology, wine and molecular genetics: disciplines that are apparently not related at all, are actually very efficient instruments enabling us to understand the identity and the character of Italian wine.Italian wine civilization has preserved vibrant testimonies of the past in its more ancient vineyards, where the grapes variety represented lead back to the early domestication and winemaking processes of Etruscan, Greek and Roman ages.The archeological remains discovered in various areas, especially on the Tirrenica coast, dating from the Bronze age (first millenium), show the presence of structures for wine production (millstones) and for wine transportation (vinarie amphoras) from the Greek-Aegean matrix; as well as the first examples of wild grapes in domestication phase. The rich funeral gears enrich this wine culture and the symposium thalassocracy Etruscan culture.Odissea stories contributed to spread wine myth and its ritual consumption. Ulisse travels between Sicily and Campania cost identifies places where wines are still produced today; varietal grapes and winemaking technics date back those from these ancient origins, in natural landscape scenes and archaeological reminders of great emotional impact.

FROM ThE FIRST GREEk SETTlEMENTS UNDER MOUNT ETNA TO ThE wINES OF MARSAlA

June 18 – 9:30 – 10:30

Speaker: Attilio SCIENZA

Ancient Sicily was divided in territories ruled by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians in the West while the Greeks, having begun their conquest from territories bordering Mount Etna, ruled the major part of the Island.These cultural influences have profoundly marked the society, the economy, the architecture, the cuisine and the types of wines produced in Sicily.Through DNA testing of the numerous existing ancient vine varietals it has been possible to link their geographic origin to the two territories.The Sicilian vine varietals from the Etna region reveal definite characteristics linked to Greek origins as well as an important link to vine varietals cultivated on the Ionic coast of Calabria. On the other hand, the vine varietals for Marsala have different origins.Even today, the curious traveler can retrace the history of three thousand years of Sicily through the stylistic features of the landscape but mostly through its cuisine and its wines.

ITAlIAN wINE: AN ENDlESS ADVENTURE

PART 2 – wINE IN hISTORy

The great ways that have been traced on earth and sea during the salient phases of human history, contributing to the acquaintance and civilisation development, have through the varietal circulation diffused the wine culture and favorised the introduction of some varietals with specific virtues. Often these wine grapes through crossing with wild vines have originated new varieties.Many famous Italian wines are the result of mercantile travellers activity who from Mediter-ranean oriental region introduced these wines to the rich cities in Continental Europe.Along these routes that have crossed Italy from north to south and east to the west, from one sea to another, wine grapes were spread like Aglianico, able to give long-lived transportable wines, or the Amarone, where they valued a medieval culture that saw the present Veronese wines on all the European courts table.But Venice Republic dominated the seas and the european markets for almost 500 years with the Malvasias and Vinsanto trade.Nowadays, remains from that tradition are important testimonies of ancient Venetian viticulture and in the lagoon islands the last acres of those vineyards can be found.

Speaker: Barbara TAMBURINI

Among the most significant areas of the Italian agrarian landscape, Valpolicella is an example of perfect equilibrium between nature and the human footprint. A symbiosis that produces wines of excellent quality in a unique landscape. This seminar shows the excellence of Valpolicella, where complete “zonation” of the territory gives consumers a detailed approach to the characteristics both of the wines and of the producers. This tasting seminar focuses on a selection of the best wine producers, offering new insights into understanding this ever-popular product, rich in sensation and emotion.

ITAlIAN wINE: AN ENDlESS ADVENTURE

PART 3 – ThE wINE OF NATURAl PARkS

Parks represent in Italy not only places where nature has remained intact and must be preserved and protected due to its fragility, but they also are the testimony of a secular labour that whole generations have conducted with enormous difficulties to tear off a bit of an arable land from the slopes of mountains, often through daring terraces, where the main cultivation was vines: only the pleasure that wine gave could repair those pains.Alongside this biodiversity made with flora and fauna richness, an important cultural biodiversity, well represented by the walls techniques construction, shelters for tools, rural network and walls’ types, indicates precisely the geological origin of those soils.Conservation strategies of those places, very onerous nowadays due to maintenance cost, allowed only tourist use, local food, and of course wines, who once again are all true witnesses of the past.From the ‘5 Terre’ Park, to the Adamello Brenta Park in the Alps tridentine, from the Uccellina Park in Maremma up to Vesuvius Park, Zingaro Park or Etna one in Sicily, memory wines can bring us back, now pleasantly, to our ancestors’ labor.For those places, environment fragility and stringent rules imposed by the Administration, a viticulture strongly oriented to environmentally sustainable productions is implemented with a precise use of chemistry and special solutions for natural land fertility conservation. Do not forget the role played by Parks for biodiversity of wild vines conservation, present only in these protected areas, where those studies allowed to reconstruct the cultivated vines origins.

PARk OF ETNA: A UNIqUE hERITAGE FOR UNIqUE wINESJune 18 – 14:00 – 15:00

Speaker: Attilio SCIENZA

The area around the volcano contains the earliest evidence of wine production and trade in Sicily.The Greek colony of Naxos, near Catania, minted its own coins with effigies of Dionysus and bunches of grapes and spread throughout the area the techniques of cultivation of the vine of the territories from which the first settlers originated.The fecundity of the soil, the abundance of water and the symbolic reminder of the forces of nature that had been present in volcanic activity, favored the development of original vine varieties and methods of cultivation. The work of countless generations of vine-growers, through the man-made terraces along, the volcano’s slopes up to about 1000m above sea level, is now protected by the institution of the Etna Park.Unique grape varietals are cultivated in the area, one red “Nerello mascalese” and one white “Carricante”. These varietals are not found in any other locations and are cultivated on soils created by numerous volcanic eruptions whose chemical composition is perceived through the organoleptic analysis of the wines.

ITAlIAN wINE: AN ENDlESS ADVENTURE

PART 4 – wINE AND TERROIR: A UNIqUE DUO The “territory” concept conjugated with the wine one, constitutes a cultural and symbolic potential, extraordinary rich with great complexity. In the first instance we think about the wine.A product that can claim a few thousands years of history, for which thousands of kilometers on land and sea have been opened. It is something more than a chemical product with some sensory characters.It is difficult to think about something that has existed such a long time and in so many cultures, actually so intimately interlaced in human life, history, and culture.If we should try to define in general what is a territory, we would face an immense multiplicity of meanings. A territory can be identifiable when it is the center of some homogeneities.As a physical space (geographical limits), as a space with a certain human presence all along the time, like an unit carrying values, history, culture, the consequences of dynamics and stratification during story of human presence.To communicate around wine means to offer: a product, a service, an articulate system constituted by a careful interaction of “material and measurable” elements with “immaterial and symbolic” elements that rotate around the wine culture and territories quality.We are in presence of a strong demand for innovation, but with rising attention paid to wines characterized by strong territorial identity and wide historico-cultural gratefulness, with sharp attention to the “ancient varietals” (radication on the territory).The development of the qualitative and quantitative growing wine world, especially in economic systems, scientific and cultural, more and more global, passes through wine territories valorization.At the center of this territorial system, of its valorization and promotion, there is naturally the wine company in its almost infinite dimensional entrepreneurial declinations, qualitative and organizational.And it is through the patient and intelligent human labour in wine landscape ‘construction’ that quality increase production has been accompanied systematically.

VOlCANIC VINEyARDS: BETwEEN lEGEND AND REAlITyJune 18 – 16:00 – 17:00

Speaker: Attilio SCIENZA

Volcanoes in every age gave rise to fear and admiration in human beings as they linked the manifestations of fire, smoke and noise to the Gods presence. Around the volcanoes, man has developed the oldest forms of agricultural sociality with the soils fertility and waters wealth.The definition “earth machine” given to volcanoes describes perfectly the role they had in the primitive modeling of the soil.Volcano wines have enjoyed a well-deserved reputation of quality in every age, attested by nowadays wines produced in many Italians regions.Volcanic soil definition is however very reductive because the soil typologies arised from eruptions are very different in physical structure (from Saline’s pumices to Soave’s clay), chemical composition (from South Tyrol porphyries to the Vulture basalts) and therefore their influence on wines sensory characteristics is very diverse, even if a common trait is made of compounds from berry metabolism, transformed in wine into substances who give minerals’ hints.Italy is certainly the country, more than any other, that offers a wide range of very articulated wine products from volcanic soils: there is almost no other region in the world that can produce various wines on volcanic soil, be it white, red, dry, or sweet.
