1st STAGE IN WINE TASTING
SIGHT: At this stage you can evaluate
the limpidity, colour and presence
of bubbles, or sediments.
It will help give you a rough idea of the
development, ageing and even body and
alcohol percentage of the wine.
1st STAGE : SIGHT
Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself
LIMPIDITY: Is it crystal clear or is it dull and cloudy?
COLOUR : What colour is it, white, red or rosé?
INTENSITY: Is it pale, medium or dark?
2nd STAGE IN WINE TASTING
SMELL: This is the most important
stage of evaluation. You will be able to
asses the condition, quality, ageing,
development and aromas. This sense has
a chemical data base in your brain. Once
you smell something it is stored in your
memory forever.
2nd STAGE : SMELL
Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself
CONDITIONS: Is it in a good state?
INTENSITY: How powerful is the smell?
DEVELOPMENT: How old is the wine? Is it oxidized? Is it
supposed to be like this?
AROMA: What fragrance, scent / odour can I smell? What
particular smell do I perceive?
3rd STAGE IN WINE TASTING
TASTE: The last stage is the
confirmation of what you have smelt
before but also is the evaluation in
terms of flavour, sweetness, acidity,
tannins, alcohol, and body. At this point
you can also make your final
conclusions.
3rd STAGE : TASTE
Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself
SWEETNESS: How dry or sweet is it?
ACIDITY: How zesty is it? How strong is the tar flavour?
TANNIN: How astringent / prickly is it?
ALCOHOL: How warm does the back of my throat feel?
BODY: How heavy does it feel?
INTENSITY: How powerful is the flavour?
FLAVOUR: What kind of flavours can I taste?
PERSISTENSY: How long does it last?

ITALIAN WINE LABELLING
Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG): If this is present on
a wine bottle, it means that the wine producers have followed the strictest
regulations possible to make that wine. The wine was tested by a committee that
guarantees the geographic authenticity of the wine and its quality.
Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC): The rules governing quality and
authenticity are still very strict, but they're a little more generous than those for
DOCG status. For instance, the geographic zone might be a little bigger.
Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT): This designation was created a after the
DOC - DOCG designations in order to accommodate growers who couldn't meet all
the DOC- DOCG regulations for one reason or another, but they were still producing
great wines.

Climatic Conditions
Protected in the north from cold currents and
on the west from humid Atlantic currents by
the Alps, the Aosta Valley boasts a climate
particularly suited for vine cultivation dating
as far back Roman times. It can be very warm
during day in summer time but at night the
temperature drops rapidly.
This allow the wine to have a lot of pleasant
acidity, but do not expect very full bodied or
heavy wines

Friuli Grave
This area, going up to the alpine arch, has been
formed over thousands of years with deposits of
dolomitic limestone material coming down the
valleys with flooding. The land is characterized
by an ample stony surface which increases the
temperature range between day and night. This
aspect promotes the cultivation of particularly
aromatic grapes and perfumed and elegant
wines. The white grape wines are fresh, fruity
and elegant; the reds are balanced and perfumed
when young, full and structured when aged.

Friuli Annia
The Doc Friuli Annia zone has recently
been established, but the wine tradition of
this area has very antique origins. The area
crosses the ancient “Annia way” and is
characterized in the most southern part by
the Marano Lagoon from which it receives
the benefits of the ventilated lagoon climate
and it produces lively and flavoursome
white wines.

Friuli Aquileia
The climate benefits from its proximity to the
sea: in the summer there is always a breeze
and so it is less humid and in the winter it is
milder with temperatures that very rarely go
below zero.
The soils are mainly clay, originating from
floods and rich in minerals.
The wines are excellent and particularly
fragrant.

The Soil is mainly made up of clayey soils, difficult
to work, but rich in minerals which makes the
wines unmistakable. The proximity to the sea
means beneficial currents of warm, brackish air,
making the production of an excellent and
particularly fragrant wine possible.
They should be drunk as a young wine to fully
appreciate the fragrance. The red wines are a great
bright red colour, round-bodied, with tastes of
bouquet characteristics which also allow for
ageing.

Friuli Isonzo
The territory is separated by the waters of the
Isonzo river, on the left can be characterized by its
slightly calcareous soils, rich in clays marbled
with red gravel, while on the right it is more
calcareous thanks to the presence of white gravel.
The temperature is excellent thanks to the
thermo-regulative action of the sea and the
mountains which enclose the plain and hinder the
penetration of wind from the north. The area is
suited to the production of both red and white
grapes, which give structure and colour to the red
wines, intense and velvety, and an elegant and
harmonious fragrance to the whites.

COLLIO
GORIZIANO
Collio Goriziano
The proximity to the Giulia Pre-Alps leads to shelter
from the northern winds and the propinquity to the
Adriatic coast promotes the persistence of a moderate
and mild micro climate. The soils are made up of
marls and sandstone. These rock formations easily
break up under the action of atmospheric agents,
creating a soil which, over the seasons, turns into an
ideal substratum for viticulture. Ventilation is
constant and abundant rain is well distributed over
the year which guarantees the ideal water supply
even in the hottest periods. Moreover, the hill
conformation of the area leads to temperature
changes between day and night.

DEL FRIULI
Colli Orientali del Friuli
The soils have alternating layers of marl (limestone
clays) and sandstones (calcified sands). They are
extraordinarily suitable for viticulture thanks to their
position and composition. The climate boasts shelter
from the Alps behind and constant ventilation from
the Adriatic sea. The area enjoys infinite micro-
climates, more humid and fresh to the north near to
the mountains and milder and drier towards the south.
The autoctonous vines boast thousands of years of
tradition and the discipline of production of the Colli
Orientali del Friuli counts the greatest number of
autoctonous vines in Italy.

The climate is characterized by mostly continental
influences, mitigated by the Mediterranean
influences which come from the coast. In summer,
the marine breezes are constant and in the winter
the plateau is hit with the cold Bora wind. The
fine grapes make wines with a strong personality
and slightly fruity, aromatic white wines.

Lison Pramaggiore
The territory is prevalently flat, with glacial and
flood soils, the Tagliamento river has had a
decisive role in the conformation of the territory.
The rich composition of the soil and the mild
climate are at the root of the production of the
fine wines of this zone. The soils are rich in
calcium and produce fine wines, rich in aromatic
substance. This area is blessed with a temperate
climate, this characteristic is due to the latitude
as well as the proximity to the sea, the flat plains
and the consequent exposure to the winds.

ITALIAN WINES part 1

  • 1. Part 1 Wine Tasting Techniques Italian Wine Labelling Valle D`Aosta Piemonte Lombardia Trentino Alto Adige Veneto Friuli Venezia Giulia Edited by Loris Propedo
  • 2.
  • 3. 1st STAGE IN WINE TASTING SIGHT: At this stage you can evaluate the limpidity, colour and presence of bubbles, or sediments. It will help give you a rough idea of the development, ageing and even body and alcohol percentage of the wine.
  • 4. 1st STAGE : SIGHT
  • 5. Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself LIMPIDITY: Is it crystal clear or is it dull and cloudy? COLOUR : What colour is it, white, red or rosé? INTENSITY: Is it pale, medium or dark?
  • 6. 2nd STAGE IN WINE TASTING SMELL: This is the most important stage of evaluation. You will be able to asses the condition, quality, ageing, development and aromas. This sense has a chemical data base in your brain. Once you smell something it is stored in your memory forever.
  • 7. 2nd STAGE : SMELL
  • 8. Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself CONDITIONS: Is it in a good state? INTENSITY: How powerful is the smell? DEVELOPMENT: How old is the wine? Is it oxidized? Is it supposed to be like this? AROMA: What fragrance, scent / odour can I smell? What particular smell do I perceive?
  • 9. 3rd STAGE IN WINE TASTING TASTE: The last stage is the confirmation of what you have smelt before but also is the evaluation in terms of flavour, sweetness, acidity, tannins, alcohol, and body. At this point you can also make your final conclusions.
  • 10. 3rd STAGE : TASTE
  • 11. Wine Tasting Approach: ask yourself SWEETNESS: How dry or sweet is it? ACIDITY: How zesty is it? How strong is the tar flavour? TANNIN: How astringent / prickly is it? ALCOHOL: How warm does the back of my throat feel? BODY: How heavy does it feel? INTENSITY: How powerful is the flavour? FLAVOUR: What kind of flavours can I taste? PERSISTENSY: How long does it last?

  • 32. ITALIAN WINE LABELLING Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG): If this is present on a wine bottle, it means that the wine producers have followed the strictest regulations possible to make that wine. The wine was tested by a committee that guarantees the geographic authenticity of the wine and its quality. Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC): The rules governing quality and authenticity are still very strict, but they're a little more generous than those for DOCG status. For instance, the geographic zone might be a little bigger. Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT): This designation was created a after the DOC - DOCG designations in order to accommodate growers who couldn't meet all the DOC- DOCG regulations for one reason or another, but they were still producing great wines.

  • 289. Friuli Grave This area, going up to the alpine arch, has been formed over thousands of years with deposits of dolomitic limestone material coming down the valleys with flooding. The land is characterized by an ample stony surface which increases the temperature range between day and night. This aspect promotes the cultivation of particularly aromatic grapes and perfumed and elegant wines. The white grape wines are fresh, fruity and elegant; the reds are balanced and perfumed when young, full and structured when aged.

  • 297. Friuli Aquileia The climate benefits from its proximity to the sea: in the summer there is always a breeze and so it is less humid and in the winter it is milder with temperatures that very rarely go below zero. The soils are mainly clay, originating from floods and rich in minerals. The wines are excellent and particularly fragrant.

The proximity to the sea means beneficial currents of warm, brackish air, making the production of an excellent and particularly fragrant wine possible. They should be drunk as a young wine to fully appreciate the fragrance. The red wines are a great bright red colour, round-bodied, with tastes of bouquet characteristics which also allow for ageing.

  • 305. Friuli Isonzo The territory is separated by the waters of the Isonzo river, on the left can be characterized by its slightly calcareous soils, rich in clays marbled with red gravel, while on the right it is more calcareous thanks to the presence of white gravel. The temperature is excellent thanks to the thermo-regulative action of the sea and the mountains which enclose the plain and hinder the penetration of wind from the north. The area is suited to the production of both red and white grapes, which give structure and colour to the red wines, intense and velvety, and an elegant and harmonious fragrance to the whites.

  • 309. Collio Goriziano The proximity to the Giulia Pre-Alps leads to shelter from the northern winds and the propinquity to the Adriatic coast promotes the persistence of a moderate and mild micro climate. The soils are made up of marls and sandstone. These rock formations easily break up under the action of atmospheric agents, creating a soil which, over the seasons, turns into an ideal substratum for viticulture. Ventilation is constant and abundant rain is well distributed over the year which guarantees the ideal water supply even in the hottest periods. Moreover, the hill conformation of the area leads to temperature changes between day and night.

The area enjoys infinite micro- climates, more humid and fresh to the north near to the mountains and milder and drier towards the south. The autoctonous vines boast thousands of years of tradition and the discipline of production of the Colli Orientali del Friuli counts the greatest number of autoctonous vines in Italy.

  • 322. Lison Pramaggiore The territory is prevalently flat, with glacial and flood soils, the Tagliamento river has had a decisive role in the conformation of the territory.

The soils are rich in calcium and produce fine wines, rich in aromatic substance. This area is blessed with a temperate climate, this characteristic is due to the latitude as well as the proximity to the sea, the flat plains and the consequent exposure to the winds.
