EDITORIAL

COMMON CARE FOR OUR VINEYARDS As we have every year since 1987, we finished work on our guide, Vini d’Italia, and we officially presented it in Rome, on October 17. We’ll give you all the crucial details in this issue of our magazine. And, just like every year, it has been a massive project that took our group, over 60 people, around Italy, tasting wines from Valle d’Aosta in the Alps to Pantelleria in the extreme south. We visited wine territories and wineries for over five months. A fascinating experience, it brought us to very well-known zones that are always on the map of wine enthusiasts, such the Langa, Valpolicella, Bolgheri and Montalcino, but also to emerging territories, terroirs that are little known even in their own regions. Again this year we met new growers and saw new wineries open. We tasted thousands and thousands of bottles, the products of the efforts of small and big producers, all of whom look after their vineyards every day. We saw vineyards cultivated with intelligence and increasing respect, less exploited as mere production tools, more cared for with one basic idea: winemaking isn’t only about producing an economic asset; above all it aims to give a voice to the earth. For our winegrowers, it means maintaining an environment, keeping it from being abandoned, giving space to the thousand varieties of grapes in our tradition, to biodiversity. It means living in the countryside, even in difficult zones, those that the prevailing industrial agriculture of monocultures (which require only occasional hu-

man labor) can’t exploit with satisfying margins of profit. It means creating wineries that are more and more ecologically sustainable, in terms of both energy and ethics. This kind of viticulture creates jobs, repopulates the countryside, experiments with growing methods that are closer to nature, and is less and less dependent on energy from fossil fuels. A process of relocalization is taking place, after decades of flight from the farm. The process is favoring the permanent integration of a nonItalian labor force, and whether they are refugees from war zones or economic migrants hardly matters. I don’t think that any of this was planned, except in a few rare cases. But it is happening. Italian winegrowers are in the forefront of caring for our common home. Have they all read Pope Francesco’s second encyclical about looking after the planet, “Laudato Si”? Probably not, but they are putting into practice the teachings of Rome’s bishop, a leader who also knows how to reason like a good country priest. On the margins of all this, in recent days one of the umpteen scandals exploded that besmirched the good name of Italian wine. In Friuli (but not only), a number of producers are under investigation for presumed illegal practices during the vinifying of Sauvignon. For this reason, we have decided to suspend our judgments in the guide on the wines being investigated until the entire issue has been clarified. Marco Sabellico 4

ITALY PASSES FRANCE AS TOP WINE PRODUCER 7^MZ \PM TI[\ NM_ LIa[ \ZQ]UXPIV\ headlines appeared in Italian newspapers, celebrating Italy’s victory over France in the annual competition for top wine producer. According to the estimates of the European Commission, the Italian 2015 harvest was larger than that of its cousQV IKZW[[ \PM )TX[ 1\ITa _Q\P ! million hectolitres, should therefore go up a step in the ranking of world wine producers, while France will be in second place with 46.5 millions of hectolitres, the result of a fall in production of about 1% compared to 2014. In this duel, the role of the third wheel falls to Spain, which in any case is way behind, with only 36.6 million hectolitres. Italy’s tri-

umph this year is the happy result of 2015’s weather conditions, which were particularly favourable for optimum grape maturation in many territories around the peninsula. France, on the other hand, suffered through an overheated year that led to a fall in production in important zones such as Beaujolais (- 25%) and Burgundy (-11%). Aside from the soccer-style headlines in many newspapers, the most important number, about which less was said, is another: exports of Italian wine in the ÅZ[\ [MUM[\MZ _MZM JWWUQVO _Q\P I growth in value of 6.5%, 2.52 billion

MACFRUT: The Italian fruit and vegetable fair is an international success From September 23-25, at the Rimini Expo Center, Cesena Fiera organized the 32nd edition of MacFrut - more exhibitors than ever, great public interest, and a look at a future that is more fruit-and-vegetableoriented than today. Gambero Rosso was there with the Channel’s cooking stars and the workshops of the Città del Gusto schools.

The reaction of the Consorzio producers was not what you might expect in cases like this. No one requested the European Union to protect the brand, nor demanded that the overseas producers change the name on their bottles. Instead, the outsiders were invited to participate in the 2015 edition of Enologica and do a comparative tasting. The strategy is simple: encourage Sagrantino out in the world, using the

It will be an unmissable opportunity to experience the varied productive souls and styles behind an amazing wine that takes its name from an ancient town in the province of Trieste. Prosecco comes from a picturesque land in northeastern Italy, on the

border between Veneto and Friuli, two beautiful regions. Close to both the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, they are extraordinarily well-suited for winegrowing. Here the glera grape ÆW]ZQ[PML M^MV JMNWZM :WUIV times, and has always produced excellent wines. In the 20th century, this variety encountered modern technology and became the spumante that can convey Italy to the world.

tion’s borders, this success grows, and exports absorb 70% of production, a value of 980 million euros. Extremely delicate, fragrant, light and amazingly inviting, Prosecco is produced in a variety of styles that make it suitable for every occasion. To give a more complete picture of the many facets of Prosecco, the Consortium (Consorzio di Tutela) and Gambero Rosso will offer a tasting corner, on October 30th, from 12 to 6pm (18.00), where the wines will speak for themselves. We look forward to toasting you with the most famous Italian sparkling wine in the world.

Autumn on the Lagoon It’s the perfect moment for Venice. Wander the alleyways, stopping for bar snacks and soft shell crabs, cicheti and moeche. In November, Venice has its off season: a little more rain, a few degrees chillier, tourist numbers way down. Yet this is just the moment when the city seems most captivating to us and more available to show its charms to its admirers. The Architecture Biennale (www.labiennale. org) is still on, so Venice is generous with its art wonders and never disappoints food fans. <PW[M _PW TQSM Å[P IVL [MINWWL come in this period because of the lagoon, where soft shell crabs, unavailable elsewhere, rule local tables. The crab becomes a moeca after it loses its shell but before the new one has a chance to build up, 18 OCTOBER 2015

when the green Mediterranean crab reaches the peak of its molting phase. This takes place in autumn, between October and November and again in the spring, between March and April.

WINE OF THE MONTH

Taurasi 2008: an unmissable vintage Taurasi V. Olmo Riserva '08 DI MEO 30,000 bottles ex-cellar price: 16.80 euros The wines made by Generoso and Roberto di Meo are notable for their essential, austere style. They require a good deal of patience and long bottle-aging to express all their tasting potential. Don’t be surprised, therefore, if some Fiano labels will be offered even 10 years after harvesting. The results are impressive, and demonstrate the capacity to acquire complexity over time of a variety that has not been fully appreciated on a global level. The range of the winery, launched in 1986, is very broad and constantly evolving. Among the reds, this Taurasi stands out. Its grapes come from vineyards located 650 meters above sea level in the uppermost zone of Montemarano, in Campania. Vigna Olmo is the highest piece of property in the Montemarano zone and Taurasi Riserva ’08 is its happy interpretation. It presents elegantly with scents of antique roses, freshly-ground pepper and medicinal herbs: the fruit is perfectly mature and juicy. Graceful on the palate, it unfurls silky tannins, grip, and is incisive, savory, and more than usually persistent in the mouth. The most perfect food pairing is a legume and dried chestnut soup, a dish typical of 1ZXQVQI¼[ \ZILQ\QWV[ WZ MT[M I N]TT ÆI^WZML meat stew, such as wild boar with prunes.

FOOD & DESIGN

DECANTERS

Not just a pretty face Made of pure crystal or crystalline glass, even in gold and silver, produced in the most intriguing and varied shapes, the decanter is an aesthetic object, beautiful as well as functional. The evolved soul of a carafe, the decanter assures the wine perNMK\ W`aOMVI\QWV <aXQKITTa I _QLM ÆI\ JI[M ITTW_[ \PM []ZNIKM WN \PM _QVM \PM OZMI\est contact with oxygen. A narrow, long neck prevents aromas from escaping, but also keeps oxygen from entering too quickly and compromising proper evolution. Although modern use is growing, the decanter already existed in the 2nd century B.C.. The lagynos was an antique pottery decanter with a long narrow neck, funnel mouth and a large body, wide shoulders and a vertical handle that guaranteed a correct grip for service during festive banquets. In 1700, Johann Christoph Riedel, an Austrian artisan, made exquisite decanters in crystal, experimenting with shapes and materials. But in 1723, Riedel was tragically murdered, leaving a wife and three children to tend the great crystal workshop he had founded. Today the Riedels are a

powerful industrial family, now in the 11th generation. They offer unconventional and unique decanter designs, with sinuous shapes of sculptural beauty. Amadeo, for example, has an elegant lyre form, and is the most majestic in the collection. The decanter is produced in a limited series of 100 pieces per year and no mold is used in its manufacture. Cornetto nero is of black crystal, and challenges the taster’s capacity to recognize the wine without any visual clues. Swedish designer Matilda Sundén Ringnér, in collaboration with Skurf Glass Works, created Rain Man, a decanter shaped like a bottle, but with no neck. Strategically placed holes on the side allow the wine to pour into the glass like a gentle rain. The Danish company MENU, founded in 1976, designed the clever Winebreather, a decanter with a special top inserted into its neck that grips the neck of the wine bottle and aerates the liquid as the wine bottle empties. The wine can then be served from the decanter or poured back into the bottle to be served. Artist and sculptor Etienne Meneau made a series of decanters like works of art and created in limited editions of eight pieces each, with six or seven different variations. For example, Grand Coeur, a little reproduction of a heart, can contain 20 cl. of wine. and costs 1,500 euros.

VINI D'ITALIA 2016

Every year, looking over the final list of Tre Bicchieri awards, we try to draw conclusions about our work and find a pattern to all our tastings. Every year there’s a zone that stands out, a wine that seems to us to embody the season. Last year, it was Barolo, which again in 2016 repeats the fine performances of our 2015 edition, not only with extraordinary bottles from 2010 that are releasing now, but also with excellent ones from 2011. These are the denominations that have garnered the most laurels, but they are also terroirs that have known how to increase their hectares and bottle numbers over the years, creating extraordinary international success as well. The credit goes to their producers who, suitcases and bottles in hand, had the perseverance to travel around the world, introducing their great products. Their efforts paid off and have been – and still are – a marvellous model for Italy’s entire wine sector. The list of great Italian terroirs could go on for another 20 pages, from Valpolicella to Etna, from Valle d’Aosta to Salento. What’s happening is a stylistic maturation.

his is the year of Brunello di Montalcino, just twelve months after an explosion of awards for Barolo (which, in any case, with 35 awardwinning wines, is still our guide’s most prestigious denomination), and further confirmation of the 2010 vintage year as one of the greats. We gave awards to 18 Brunello labels this year, double the number that won prizes for the 2009 vintage. These are wines that faithfully express the many facets of a broad and diversified territory, from the subtle, elegant Brunello of the northern zone to the enthralling, warm Brunello of the zone facing the sea. The year showed that in Tuscany, sangiovese has returned to center stage, not only in classic terroirs like this one and in Chianti Classico (with 19 winners), an area that never abandoned the variety, but also in other zones, whether official denominations or not. The years of passion for ‘international’ grapes are over, and everyone – and certainly not just for today – is reflecting on the thousand shades of red of this exceptional territory-revealer. 28

ly has been consistently going down. We believe that these artisans are as important as the big companies that produce on a scale that allows them to work in a more efficient manner and present themselves in an organized fashion on world markets. The little growers are doing incredible work. They are real artisans. Like peasants, they live on their land, properties that often they have brought to life after years of neglect. These winegrowers live in symbiosis with their fields and their vines; they are the true guardians of their territory, of the beauty of the nation’s landscapes, of everything that is good and true in our country. They take care of the Common Home, as Pope Francis called it in his recent encyclical Laudato sì. With a toast to them and to all the excellent grapegrowers of our beautiful Italy, we serenely begin our thirtieth year. We want to tell you about this wonderful world – that few people can say they know as well as we do – with all the enthusiasm of youth but with more mature understanding. And we will continue to do so for many years. To your health!

Experiments with indigenous varieties are ongoing; technical frontiers of enology are being explored so that vines and terroir can tell their stories with more and more clarity. This year we gave Tre Bicchieri awards to over 400 wines, 421 to be exact. It may seem a lot, but we want to remind you that a team of 60 experts travelled all over Italy for 6 months, tasting something like 45,000 wines. Every year we repeat this process enthusiastically, even passionately. If we examine 2016 attentively, little by little, a thousand fascinating details emerge. One is the size of wineries. About 100 of the award-winning labels were produced by wineries that have 10 or fewer hectares of vineyard. That means we are giving oxygen and renown to the entire wine sector, not neglecting any quality winegrowers, not even the very smallest. These are people who, without the visibility given by an internationally distributed publication, would not be able to survive in a competitive world market. Over the last years, the value of wine global30

GARDA

SPECIAL THE LAKE THAT THINKS IT’S A SEA

Lake Garda is unique, an immense expanse of water that shapes the ecosystem, climate and culture of a great section of Italy. The province of Brescia and its coast is the part that offers the appetite the most temptations, ranging from wine to fish, from cheese to olive oil 55 OCTOBER 2015

A record-breaking lake, with flavors to match One of Italy’s greatest tourist attractions, Lake Garda is divided among three different provinces. The Bresciano coast focuses on quality, in wine as much as in extra-virgin olive oil. Fresh-water fish dominates the table. Visit this unique landscape during the mild weeks of early autumn

T

hose from the Trento region will tell you quite correctly that Torbole and Riva are jewels inherited from the Austro-Hungarian empire that ruled here until 1918. Manicured towns, after becoming the mecca for windsurfers, they are now the capitals of mountain biking. The people of Verona, on the other hand, point out the elegance of Lazise or Torri del Benaco, the charm of Malcesine and Brenzone, or the joie de vivre you sense in Bardolino, and not only thanks to its wine. They’re right too. But, if we’re talking about the variety and richness of food and wine experiences, the Garda Bresciano zone is ahead of the other two shores of Italy’s largest lake. Within eighty kilometers, along the coast, you pass from towns embraced by the rocks – perforated by the Gardesana, one of the most spectacular roads in the country – such as Limone or Campione, to

others that face beaches like those you ÅVL I\ \PM [MI XTIKM[ TQSM 5WVQOI WZ Manerba, with the greenest of hinterlands. From the silence of Gargnano (with fewer than 3,000 residents it has a three-star Michelin restaurant and \_W Å^M [\IZ PW\MT[ · \PMZM U][\ JM I Guinness record in there somewhere) you can move onto the crowds of conventioneers and tourists in Sirmione. The romantic Isola del Garda and the retro Gardone Riviera, where lake tourism was born at the end of the 19th century, are now hangouts for VIPs in search of relaxation and wellness. Finally, there are the two main centers: Desenzano, historic, closely tied to Milano, but once much livelier than now, when crowds poured into its nightclubs (many say it’s better this way) and Salò, with elegant shops, restaurants, and one of Europe’s most beautiful lakefronts. The two are bitter rivals. Last year, in an interview in the local newspaper, Il Corriere di

VILLA FELTRINELLI

58 OCTOBER 2015

Brescia, noted local writer Camilla Baresani defended her Desenzano in the face of the ambitions of Salò. It brought down a storm of angry letters. The debate is open and lively, although, like Rome and Milano, each town needs the other. From the border of Trentino to that of Lombardy, the key word in recent years has been quality tourism. The number of visitors (around ten million in 2014) is important, but is seen differently, although it does contribute, along with the other two provinces, to making Garda Italy’s number one tourism area. Restaurants seem to be a step ahead of hotels, which are too tied to monuments of the past in need of restyling. However, there are two extraordinary places, both in Gargnano: Villa Feltrinelli, run by Stefano Baiocco, which guidebooks consider number one, and the Lefay Resort, which continues to collect international prizes, above all for its spa and its eco-sustainability. These are two aspects that will come into their own in the coming years, perhaps in boutique hotels such as Locanda del Benaco or Bellariva in Gardone. It’s not easy to foresee the future for restaurants, not only because of the enormous size of the market, but also because of the absence of homegrown Garda-born talent. Riccardo Camanini is certainly the best. He started off at Villa Fiordaliso, but when he moved on to Lido 84, also in Gardone, he brought it to the top with cooking that is the most technical, modern, but also enthralling on Lake Garda. He also has TISM Å[P I ^MZa aW]VO JZQOILM I NIVtastic location, 1960s décor inside and tables at the water’s edge outside. To be absolutely clear: the established restaurants (La Rucola, Capriccio, Esplanade, Al Porto, Tortuga…) are still good, as are the historic trattorias and osterias (Alle Rose, Orologio…) but the zone needs a little fresh breeze, like the one called peler here, that blows over the lake in the morning. Perhaps

for young people, the future lies in hotel complexes: Matteo Maenza is doing well at the Grande Limonaia in Lefay Resorts as is Matteo Felter at Fagiano in the Grand Hotel Fasano and Nicola Morettini at the Locanda del Benaco. Other names to remember are Dino Colantuono (Rolly) and Saulo Della Valle (L’Osteria H2O), the latter from Garda and a student of Mauro Uliassi. Today, made-in-Garda products are not just the focus of the innumerable local festivals. More respected than ever, especially in northern Europe, thanks to the internet, Garda’s olive oil and wine, jewels that were once a little rough and ready, are now showcased by real artists of the trade (see box). Extra-virgin from the Garda zone, praised enthusiastically by writers in ancient Rome, now is recognized with the Bresciano DOP denomination (the others are Orientale DOP and Trentino DOP). Naturally, the olive growers of the west coast of the lake – 125 of them, all told – claim that theirs is the best. The problem for the entire zone, of course, is that the total quantity equals only one percent of national production. Particularly light and delicate, the oil is perfect WV ITT Å[P VW\ WVTa NZM[P_I\MZ Å[P I[ [WUM \PQVS IVL M[XMKQITTa WV ZI_ Å[P As for wines, Lugana DOC is growing rapidly – some of the wineries, we must mention, are in the Verona province – selling close to 14 million bottles yearly. (A possible problem in the future – a high speed train with tracks crossing and marring the area.) Wineries such as Cà dei Frati, Provenza-Cà Majol, Cà Lojera and Tenuta Roveglia stand out for their excellence. The new-born Valtenesi DOC has absorbed the virtues of Chiaretto to make a product with great potential for growth, as we see in wineries such as Costaripa, Avanzi and Le Sincette.

LETTER FROM PARIS

2015 – A PROMISING VINTAGE YEAR! How was the grape harvest in Italy? All the Italian friends we contacted, no matter what their region, seemed very optimistic. In France, it’s obvious that we have had an exceptional vintage year. And that’s exceptional in the literal sense, that is, with unique character and potential that can’t be compared to any other year. Various regions and microclimates experienced the vintage differently, but certain fundamental elements were similar everywhere. The year was the warmest and sunniest since weather statistics have been recorded. It was sunnier than 1947 or 1921. The vines suffered a long period of heat and drought from July until mid-August. The heat was especially stressful on the granite soils of the country’s eastern section, which had the highest temperatures of all, with many days above 40°C (104°F) on southern exposures. The only exceptions were on the Mediterranean shore and Corsica, where fortunately it rained at the end of the spring, and in the Bordeaux zone, where an abundance of winter rain was a blessing. Every other French region was deeply pessimistic about the vintage, especially because the precocious vegetative cycle left the berries liable to burn during the exact time when they needed to produce sugars. A major attack of oidium (powdery mildew) in late spring was a disaster for some improvident winegrowers, who lost a large part of their pro-

duction. Overall, though, the health of the country’s grapes was impeccable. This was the only consolation for the growers before, on about August 20th, miraculous, almost too abundant, rains came and vegetation took off once more. In the six following weeks, long sunny periods reappeared, nights were cool, rain fell from time to time, occasional storms shook some parts of the southwest and Languedoc. This weather pattern contributed to the perfect maturation of the grapes, allowing them to reach absolute peaks of sugar richness, while maintaining a good balance with acidity. The malic acid of the grapes was consumed by the summer heat, favouring tartaric acid, a factor that brought about much lower PH levels than were seen in 2003 or 2009, other very hot years. Harvesting began immediately after August 20 in the earlier-ripening zones. Everyone had to choose between harvesting early to avoid overly-high sugar concentration, thereNWZM PMI^a _QVM[ \PI\ _MZM LQNÅK]T\ \W ^QVQNa WZ ZQ[SQVO everything in order to reach the grapes’ full aromatic and phenolic maturity. The only certainty was that most winemakers, all except the unluckiest, were able to produce quality wines, especially since yields were low everywhere. The exception to this was once again in Champagne, which had its usual good luck. Michel Bettane & Thierry Desseauve 72
