INDICE BIGOT, ALL 2023 TOP VINEYARDS TO BE AWARDED AT VINITALY

31/3/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Top-performing vineyards almost doubled, with Friuli Venezia Giulia at its best. On April 2, at Vinitaly 2023 in Verona, Friulian agronomist and researcher Giovanni Bigot, founder of Perleuve, will be awarding the best performing vineyards according to his self-developed Indice Bigot (or Bigot Index).
1,215 vineyards, both in Italy and abroad, were monitored all through 2022 according to the 
Bigot Index, +481 than in 2021. The scientific method takes into consideration multiple factors that affect directly a wine's quality: production, exposed leaves' surface (SFE – Superficie Foliare Esposta), the ratio between leaves and production (SFE/kg), grapes' health, grape variety, the grape bunch's shape, hydro-stress, strength, biodiversity and microorganisms, the vineyard's age. 

This year, over 70 vineyards scored 90/100 points or more, and they almost doubled compared to 2022: they'll be awarded at Vinitaly directly by Bigot. It was an unexpected, good result considering the fact that in 2022 temperatures in Italy kept registering over 35° for long periods (+75% than the average in the last 10 years), causing serious water-related issues across the country. And yet, vineyards' health was preserved and a considerable amount of them hit high quality levels. 
«This year's scores are the result of winemakers' efforts and expertise – said Giovanni Bigot – Men have the power to take the right decisions when faced with climatic issues and the Indice Bigot, which is used all through the year, is an efficient device guiding towards the final goal, and helping to choose the best way to achieve it. Only by monitoring the available data and through specific, agronomic choices a high quality is attainable for both vineyards and wines. Wine tastings shortly after the grape-harvest confirmed the good outcome beforehand».

The best vineyards: … in Friuli Venezia Giulia
A vineyard in Valtellina, Lumbardy, scored the highest points, 94/100: it's vigneto Inferno – Nebbiolo Cartello of Aldo Rainoldi's winemaker. An overall 25 winemakers scored more than 90/100 and the best performing one among them, with a total high-ranking six vineyards, is from Friuli Venezia Giulia: Ferruccio Sgubin, in the Collio hills, with itsChardonnay Mirnik (91), Chardonnay Petruss Restocina (92), Merlot Mirnik (90), Sauvignon vecchio Petrus (90), Schioppettino Lonzano basso (93), Tocai friulano Petruss Restocina (91). 
Being Friulian, Giovanni Bigot succeeded in convincing many Friulian winemakers to adopt his method, and it actually paid off as many vineyards in the region scored 90 or more.

Here's the full list of Friuli Venezia Giulia's vineyards that topped the highest rankings:

Antico Broilo: Malvasia fiume (91) 
La Castellada: Tokaj Dolinca (92 
La Sclusa: Picolit Casa Banchine (90 
Le Vigne di Zamò with three vineyards: Pignolo Rosazzo (91), Pinot Bianco Leon (92), Sauvignon Leon (92)
Livio Felluga: Refosco Peduncolo Rosso Case (90)
Radikon: Sauvignon Klanjšček (92 
Russiz Superiore: Sauvignon lungo strada (90), Sauvignon Punta (92) 
Sturm: Tocai Bert (91) 
Subida di Monte: Sauvignon Vigna Luigi (91) 

Many vineyards reached a high level abroad, too, and some of them are in the neighbouring Slovenia, like Marjan Simčič who grows his grapes in the Brda area, on the border between Slovenia and Friuli, and ranked four vineyards in the top list: Chardonnay Oblino Pod Gredič (91), Merlot Trobno (90), Sauvignon Jordano basso (92), Sauvignon Oblino Pod Gredič(90).
Also from Slovenia is Korenika & Moškon with three vineyards: Beli Pinot Vala (90), Istrska Malvazija Bankina (90), Istrska Malvazija Vala (90). Other vineyards awarded are from France (Domaine Bouley) and Macedonia (Tikveš).

About Perleuve
Giovanni Bigot founded Perleuve back in 2012, a wine consulting company centered on vineyards, with a multidisciplinary approach. It's a team of agronomists and wine experts whose aim is enhancing wines' quality through a deeper care and understanding of vineyard's health. Besides developing the Bigot Index or Indice Bigot, they also launched the app 4Grapes, an operative tool enabling the monitoring of vineyards and the collecting of data. Bigot also started in 2020 the Academy 4Grapes, the first Italian academy for specialists in vineyards' monitoring.

IT'S FATHER'S DAY! ENJOY SAGRA DI SAN GIUSEPPE IN FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA

18/3/2023

Father's Day in Italy is celebrated on the day devoted to the most emblematic father, Saint Joseph (San Giuseppe in Italian). So on March 19th, just on Saint Joseph's Day, all over Friuli Venezia Giulia many “sagre” (country fairs) are held to happily mark the occasion – also anticipating the festive mood for the upcoming spring. And we should give thanks for that to the many, very dynamic Friulian ProLocos, who are responsible in most cases for the organization of such events.
Here are some Sagra di San Giuseppe throughout the region, to enjoy a beautiful Sunday out and about in Friuli with the family, partying and tasting local food and local wines. And for the perfect gift for Festa del Papà (Father's Day), Friulian wines would be certainly a good choice.

Abbazia di Rosazzo – Manzano (Udine)
​Traditionally called “San Josef in Badie” (Saint Joseph in the Abbey), Father's Day celebrations in the Abbey of Rosazzo will start early with a 3km walk from Case di Manzano to the Abbey (meeting point in via San Tommaso, at 10 am). From 11.30 am on, the food stand will be open and volunteers from Pro Loco Manzano will be preparing barbecue, sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, local delicacies and sweets. And there'll be fun for everyone: a lottery for grown-ups, and an egg hunt for the little ones!

Villanova di Prata (Pordenone)
Saint Joseph's Fair in Villanova di Prata has already started, on Friday 17. And on Sunday 19, the local Pro Loco will offer visitors a program full of events, starting with a very peculiar tractors' rally. Then it will go on with a book launch at 2 pm in Piazzetta Papa Albino Luciani: author Alberto Cancian will introduce his latest novel “Il viaggio di Gioia” (Gioia's Journey). 
From 2.30pm to 5 pm, Prata Calcio F.G. Liventina Motta will set up a football tournament for children. In the afternoon, it's time to dance with “Country Eagles” and with some old-school break dance. It'll all end up with a Spring-Summer 2023 fashion catwalk. All through the day, food stalls and food trucks will be serving any sort of specialties, from local frico to Argentine beef and fried fish.

Portis di Venzone (Udine)
In Portis, a very characteristic district of Venzone, the Sagra di San Giuseppe will kick off on Sunday 19. Food stalls will be opened all the day, starting from 10 am and closing at 8.30 pm: there, visitors will find all typical Friulian dishes such as polenta, frico, local cheeses and salami, “muset e crauti” (pork with sauerkrauts) and the very traditional “lidric cul poc e ûs dûrs” (wild radicchio and hard-boiled eggs). At 2.30pm the local brass band Complesso Bandistico Venzonese will perform along with majorettes. 
​
Percoto, Pavia di Udine
​
Here, Father's Day celebrations started as early as March 10, culminating with a tight schedule of events on Sunday 19, for the 71st edition of the Fiera di San Giuseppe (Saint Joseph's Fair). The Spring Fair will bring floriculture stalls to Via Aquileia, and vintage cars and Lambrettas' rallies – as well as horse-drawn carriages – will ride through the town streets. At Villa Caiselli's Park there'll be a morning aperitivo with music, wine and food tastings and... a gigantic frico. Wine tastings will go on all day at the Enoteca Tent.

​Laipacco's district in Tricesimo (Udine)
Here, too, celebrations for Saint Joseph started last week. The annual sagra by the local Pro Loco, on Sunday 19, will feature market and food stalls opening in the morning and operating all through the day. Among them, also one selling azaleas to fund Associazione Luca Onlus, a pedriatic association against cancer. The Sunday program will kick off with a walk, the 25th “Cjaminade di San Josef” (Saint Joseph's Walk), with two options: 7 and 14 km, organized by FIASP. In the afternoon, at 4pm presentation of the restoration works in the Church of San Giuseppe, followed by a procession through the streets. Tricesimo's brass band will wrap up celebrations with a musical performance.

It's been an incredible year for Prosecco DOC. The Consortium Prosecco DOC, which safeguard the wines produced across Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, in 2022 recorded an increase in production's volumes (+1.8%) and values (+11.5%) compared to 2021, for an overall 638.5 million bottles sold and an amount of 3 billion euros. 

And one of the most astonishing data is about global export: 81.2% of Prosecco DOC bottles were exported abroad, while domestic sales amounted to 18.8% (about 120 million bottles). Among the foreign markets, now the U.S. jumped to the 1st place with an increase of 5.8% and a total 134 million bottles of Prosecco wine imported from Italy. They overtook the UK, which has been the best Italian Prosecco consumer in the last years, as they now rank second with 130 million bottles (+3.5%). Germany follows with 46 million bottles (+2.8%), and surprisingly France is Italian Prosecco DOC's fourth importer with a striking increase: +19% in volume than 2021, and +30% in value.

​The next goals for 2023 vintage will be set through the project #roadto2030, which will be presented by Consorzio Prosecco DOC to winemakers and stakeholders in the next few weeks.

I COLLOQUI DELL'ABBAZIA, BOOKS &FRIULI AT THE ABBEY OF ROSAZZO

7/3/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
A new series of literary meetings about Friuli Venezia Giulia and its authors. Fondazione Abbazia di Rosazzo (Abbey of Rosazzo Foundation) and renowned wine company Livio Felluga are promoting the 8th edition of “I Colloqui dell'Abbazia 2023”, conversations on books by Friulian writers or about Friuli Venezia Giulia at the Abbey of Rosazzo (Udine), on the Colli Orientali (Oriental Hills). This year the theme will be about travelling, as the title itself goes: “Il viaggio della carta geografica di Livio Felluga” (The journey of Livio Felluga's geographical map”) and all the meetings will be hosted by Margherita Reguitti. But the journey here is conceived as a way of exploring new worlds and ideas, of acquiring knowledge and connecting with other cultures... all through the art of writing. 

Three books, three different styles and views
Opening on March 10, the series will debut a poetry collection by Gian Mario Villalta, “Dove sono gli anni” (Where are the years), published by Garzanti. Villalta is a renowned Friulian intellectual and writer, and he's also the artistic director of the literary festival “Pordenone legge” (Pordenone reads), which is scheduled next September. A teacher and cultural educator, Villalta has already devoted many works to poetry and its critique: in this book, he investigates the depths of life as a man's journey into this world.
Picture
The next meeting will be on March 24, with Marzio G. Mian, a Friulian journalist and writer, who'll talk about his latest release “Guerra bianca” (White war), published by Neri Pozza Editore. The book relates the dramatic situation of the Arctic Circle, which has become more and more the centre of the conflict between the US and Russia since Ukraine's invasion one year ago. The shadow of a modern-day neocolonialism seems very likely, as climate change melts the ice, revealing all its hidden treasures: precious raw materials, oil and gas. Mian has been covering news about the Arctic region for several years now, and he's one of the founders of The Arctic Times Project. He's an award-winning correspondent and former deputy editor in chief for the weekly “Io Donna” of Corriere della Sera, one of Italy’s leading newspaper; he realized reportages from at least 48 countries around the world. 

The last event of the month, on March 31, will feature journalist Oscar D’Agostino for a homage to Paolo Maurensig (Gorizia, 26 marzo 1943 – Udine, 29 maggio 2021), a celebrated Friulian author and intellectual. D'Agostino, who's the editor of the cultural column for the daily Messaggero Veneto and the artistic director of the literary festival Lignano Noir, will go through Maurensig's last work, the novel “Il quartetto Razumovsky” (Razumovsky's Quartet), published by Einaudi shortly after his untimely death.

All meetings will start at 6pm. Entry is free and subject to availability, so you'd better reserve a seat by writing an email to: fondazione@abbaziadirosazzo.it.

The events are organized with the support of Vigne Museum Cultural Association, Manzano's Municipality and Banca Intesa SanPaolo.

RUNNING THROUGH ANCIENT ROMAN SITES WITH UNESCO CITIES MARATHON

25/2/2023

A one-of-a-kind experience, running across historical places belonging to Unesco World Heritage's list. The Unesco Cities Marathon FVG is finally back, after a four-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, and on Sunday, February 26 runners from every part of the world will be able to rush through the beautiful cities of Palmanova, Aquileia and Cividale del Friuli, the three Unesco World Heritage sites in Friuli Venezia Giulia, all of them in Udine's area. 
For its 8th edition, the 42 km itinerary will start in Palmanova and then head towards Bagnaria Arsa and Cervignano del Friuli. Then, crossing again Palmanova to reach Aquileia through Terzio d'Aquileia, the marathon will end exactly where it started, at Piazza Grande in Palmanova. The main race will be joined by the second edition of the half marathon: the Iulia Augusta Half Marathon (21.097 km) will kick off at the same time and place, at 9.30 on Sunday morning from Piazza Grande in Palmanova. This year, Cividale hosted the opening ceremony of the event. 
The best of it all, of course, it's the background: the historical centres of the cities, some of the most astounding in Friuli Venezia Giulia, each one with its unique, distinctive features. And other events complete the picture, extending the sporting opportunities to everyone.


Unesco in Rosa and Special Run
Women running against cancer. Unesco in Rosa (Unesco in Pink) is the leg of the event dedicated to women, a 7km route – more of a fit walking, than of a real run – starting at 10.45 am from Piazza Indipendenza in Cervignano del Friuli and ending among the imposing columns of the Roman Forum of Aquileia. Part of the proceeds from the registration fees will be donated to LILT-Lega Italiana Lotta ai Tumori (the Italian association against cancer).

The 2023 Unesco Cities Marathon FVG also includes a Special Run, a 4km route for Special Olympics athletes starting at 11am from Terzo di Aquileia and arriving in Aquileia. A celebration of the inclusiveness in sport, open to the athletes and their families too, it'll be the perfect chance to enjoy Aquileia's extraordinary ancient Roman spots.
Nordic Walking... “in the footsteps of Napoleon”
For those who run, but also for those who walk and even better for those who walk with sticks. Two Nordic Walking 10km and 21km trails add to 2023 Unesco Cities Marathon FVG a touch of local history. Starting, like the main races, from Piazza Grande in Palmanova, they'll take nordic walkers to explore the military streets of the Fortress, once used by soldiers to defend the city, then inside the Rivellino tunnels through an underground path; then up the rampart, to the two guard lodges of the militias and the ammunition reserve. A not-to-be-missed experience to admire such incredible strongholds of time. 

Trained to run and... save
The Bls-Run T Rianimatorincorsa, a team of rescuing runners trained in first aid interventions, will also join the marathon for the safety of all competitors. Palmanova's Red Cross section will guarantee the ambulance service to support the race, and professionals in physiotherapy from Movita Udine will assist anyone in need at the finishing line. Sporting associations from Friuli Venezia Giulia will provide refreshment points during the marathon, and local Protezione Civile (Civil Defense) will be ensuring the itinerary's security.
