We explore wineries with only one label. To understand the world of wine and its complex dynamics, begin in Bordeaux. Everything seems to f ind its explanation there.

In Italy too, especially in Campania, the trend towards One Winery, One Wine.

One Winery, One Wine

by Antonio Boco

continues

The notion of the brand, the concepts of classifications, hierarchies and commerce all begin in Bordeaux and on the beautiful properties that surround it. The first brands, the Châteaux, that is, not only proved effective but managed to change, by means of their very existence, the face of the marketplace. Brands created new consumers and redrew the map of pricing. The world changed from bulk wine to bottles, from a generic Bordeaux red – Claret – to multiple choices available from estates with real names. At the beginning, and for a long time, each presented itself with only one label, continuing to sell the rest of the production in barrels. That trend, as with most ideas coming from Bordeaux, spread quickly, from the rest of France to newly producing nations. Garage wines began to show up everywhere. Italy was no exception, but instances of one-label houses are still very rare, at least in wineries with enough capacity to impact the marketplace. Perhaps this is why an examination of the phenomenon is particularly fascinating. V incenzo Sampi, professor at the University of Florence and a great expert of wine marketing says, “Turning out one label only is an extremely interesting path to take because the single product immediately identifies the producer. The fact is that today the laws of the market demand a wider range of bottles, and it’s difficult to avoid conforming. Just look at how Bordeaux, Italy and the rest of the world developed.”Some, though, still believe in this one-wine formula, balancing t e c h n i c a l a n d p r o d u c t i o n considerations with clear visions of

marketing. Among the most lucid of these is Giovanni Ascione, whose experience as a top manager, cognoscente and experienced wine journalist led to his recent years as a producer in Nanni Copè, Castel Campagnano (near Caserta, in Campania). “I immediately decided to produce only one wine and I’m sure I’ ll keep going this way,” Giovanni explains. “The real reason? I don’t know how I could make another wine. I aim for the best, so I don’t like the idea of bottling something that doesn’t fit that description. From a production point of view, I try to waste as little as possible, starting in the vineyard. But if there’s something I have doubts about, I don’t harvest it, as in 2009 and in 2011. Then, if I have small quantities in the cellar that I decide not to use, I give it away as gifts.” And from a business point of view? “This approach may seem like al imitat ion, but

having only one wine can also be a strong point,” Ascione continues. “In terms of communication, it’s a win-win situation. Through that one label I can explain my whole winery and my philosophy. It’s total identification. Commercial logic comes as a result.”Another who has always taken this line is Galardi, on the market with only Terra di Lavoro. One of the makers of this miracle, Arturo Celentano, explains that it all came

about simply and naturally. When a hobby becomes a business, things don’t change much because efforts and energy all go towards increasing the number of bottles produced without losing sight of quality. “We couldn’t let ourselves be distracted,” he tells us, “and today we’re pleased with the choice we made. Certainly, there’s always the temptation to produce a second wine, but at the moment it would seem like a stretch, and would indicate a lack of respect for our clients.For Elena Fucci, the young and passionate grapegrower in the Vulture area of

Basilicata, everything came about as a result of decisions taken at the start. “When my father found a buyer for a old six-hectare vineyard that had belonged to my grandfather, I saw the light. I was 18 years old and in one moment I decided to change my life plans, to keep the v ineyard and study enology. I felt the earth calling me. A choice like that leads to other equally radical strategies, s o w e m a k e n o compromises and no backup wine. My idea is to represent the Vulture zone and to make it known through i t s wine.

An objective as ambitious as this doesn’t permit speculation or shortcuts. So, for now, no second wine.”Silvia Imparato’s experience is one of the most celebrated in modern Italian wine history and her Montevetrano has always been unique, in the true sense of the word. “When it began, I wasn’t thinking about sales at all,” she remembers. “It was the wine that brought us to the marketplace. It caused talk from the start. Parker wrote about a Sassicaia of the South and so we were immediately submerged with orders. At the beginning, the quantities were minute, but even if little by little we grew, the numbers are still small. We didn’t change our methods or choose to make a second wine. Quality always comes first. The future? I’ll tell you a little secret. At the end of the year we’ll present a new wine to celebrate our estate’s twentieth anniversary. A monovarietal aglianico. It shows how much attention we’re paying to what ’s happening in our territory. Maximum quality, as usual, but we hope to be able to speak to new consumers at an affordable price. This is a small change, but we hope it will allow us to continue to be ourselves.”

Producer On the hills near the slopes of the Monti Ausoni, 500 meters above sea level, south of the town of Latina and in the municipality of Sonnino, Lucia

Iannotta’s farm has been producing olive oil for four generations. The entire estate, 16 hectares of rocky limestone soil, is devoted to olive groves, with 4,000 trees exclusively of the itrana cultivar. The property is divided in two, each with exposure to the mild sea breezes. Olives are harvested by hand in November and December and milled within four hours in a modern, spic-and-span company mill. Each phase of the work is followed with care to guarantee top quality extravergine olive oil.

olive oil The Iannotta extravergine, all from the itrana cultivar, is a medium-intense fruity oil with grassy, balsamic and floral notes. In the mouth, notes of bitter almond and herbs with bitter/peppery notes well-balanced and persisting on a long finish. An exceptional, balanced, fresh and unusual oil.PairingsRed meat, full-flavored green salads

How is promotion abroad changing?Over the last couple of years we have begun a series of important

operations in order to bring wineries into foreign markets. The process has been inverted: wineries go to the marketplace and not vice versa. Chianti still enjoys remarkable fame, but it is very important to make it even better known, especially among the new generations. Our tastings, besides being aimed at the trade, will also be open to all towards the end. It is crucial to be in touch with the greatest number of opinions.

Where will you be directing your efforts?In a few weeks we’ll be in China to participate in VinChina, the first institutional fair; it will be held in Beijing from November 4 to 6. Then we’ll fly to Japan, to Tokyo, with our own event, in which Chianti will accompany local and internatioal specialties for new and exciting wine&food pairings. Finally, from November 8-10, we’ll be in Hong Kong to take part in the International Wine&Spirits Fair. In 2013, we’re planning to repeat the United States operation in the cities of New York and San Francisco, and we will also be on the scene in Russia, with two stops - in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Finally, we go to Zurich, in Switzerland.

There’s a lot happening. Let’s look at the export situation. How’s it going?The United States is still the most important market in terms of sales, followed by the European countries with well-consolidated markets such as Germany, but also Austria, England and Denmark. Sales in 2012 have been up by about 2.5% compared to last year. The year 2009 was the most difficult one of the crisis. We had major inventories, but within two years we returned to normal levels in our warehouses. In 2011 we saw a recovery and today, that recovery is evident.

What are your plans for the Italian marketplace?We have important operations coming up in the principal cities, among them Rome and Florence. Promotions targeted, above all, at wine bars, but also closely tied to cultural aspects, such as “Paesaggi del Vino”, an architectural design project that we presented on September 22nd at the Biennale d’Architettura di Venezia together with Gambero Rosso.

Let’s talk about the harvest. How was the 2012 vintage year?We can’t complain about it from a qualitative point of view, but it will surely be one of the worst in terms of quantity. The complementary varieties of the Chianti regulations are low in comparison to sangiovese, which should in part balance out in terms of numbers. All in all, we expect production to be down 5-10% compared to 2011.

To conclude, tell us about Chianti and the three key concepts you’ll emphasize when traveling around the world.Above all, Chianti is a famous wine, known to everybody, but it is also a wine for everybody. It’s a wine suited for the most demanding palates, but also for those who are approaching wine for the first time. Secondly, because of the breadth of its territory, it provides a wealth of different styles that are suitable for any

situation, offering incredible versatility from the point of view of pairing with food during a meal. And, importantly, it offers excellent value for its price.

A letter from Paolo Cuccia

Export more food and wine to create more employement

Exports: are the brakes on? The answer has to be in the affirmative. Let ’s look at contributing factors and think

about solutions. We begin with government. We don’t have a Ministry for The Beautiful and The Good (maybe we should?), but at least the present character of the various ministries should be examined.

Agricultural policy is the responsibility of a ministry that is often seen as secondary (is it really?) and in any case meets with continual resistance and bypassing on the part of the regions. (Paolo De Castro, a great Minister of Agriculture in the past, and today a commission president in Brussels, describes the country as having 20 Ministers of Agriculture.) More and more frequently, its budget is spent on delegations and offices abroad rather than in real promotion.

As soon as an agricultural product, or one in the first stages of processing, is transformed into an industrial product, it comes under the aegis of the Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico, Ministry of Economic Development, which, despite the encouraging declarations of Minister Passera, is historically more suited for working with the energy sectors and with very large businesses, which are practically non-existent in the food-companies sector.

Tourism is the responsibility of a minister without portfolio, a confirmation, alas, of the phenomenon that rates Italy as the ideal destination in all international evaluations, but as constantly surpassed by France and progressively by other countries that are enormously less endowed with beauty, cuisine and art, but are more vigilant.

Government ignores the fact that our production often has a solid artisanal base but limited industrial and commercial organization. Therefore, tourism, if increased and well-planned, can become the best way to have our products be tasted and known abroad. Food companies, but also design studios and fashion manufacturers, often do not have the size or the facilities to export, but are expert in satisfying the requirements of an affluent global clientele with products of incomparable quality to enjoy and to buy in our wonderful towns and cities.

It ’s no accident that Gianni Zonin, grapegrower and banker, believes that the Chinese would drink more Italian wine if they could be more easily convinced to visit our country. I’ll finish this commentary with the Ministero dei Beni Culturali, Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, where officials have carried out the function of protecting our immense heritage, but never the indispensable one of promoting places and museums.

Is there a solution? I think so. It’s to put The Beautiful and The Good at the center of the government’s program. The fact that it represents about a quarter of production, employment and export means it deserves more attention. This requires a healthy policy of coordination at the ministerial and regional level, with no red tape, special agencies (central or local, or whatever they may be called) but exclusively planning and administrative control, leaving the rest entirely to the private sector, with transparent public tenders and strict controls over export programs.

For wine, European policy, with the adoption of the OCM (or CMO - Common Market Organization), provides

financial means for internationalizing actions directly to producers, even supporting visits from buyers and foreign journalists.

Today there are thousands of quality companies and consortiums that pass on these contributions and the financial integration required on the part of the producer, amounting to 50%, to private firms like ours, accompanying them to meet trade professionals in the major western countries and in emerging economies of Asia.

Moreover, the contribution of the banks is notable, since for some time they have been organizing reversed road shows, that is, inviting foreign importers to Italy. Unicredit has carried out thirteen in the last year, bringing traders to Italy through the bank’s branches in central Europe. To sum up, less bureaucracy and more subsidiarity, less government as protagonist and more as a planner in the service of the private economy which, at least in this sector, has proved to be combative and successful.

wine buy of the month

montecucco rosso colle massari ris. ’09 colle massari50,000 bottles | 15 euros

The wine chosen this month won us over easily. Grown on rock and clay terrain, vinified after twenty-five days of maceration and eighteen months aging in barrique, it presents an intense ruby-red color. It expresses itself on the nose in austere notes of black berry fruit, licorice and spices. Soft and mouth-filling, it regales the palate with fragrant sensations and at the same time is well-balanced between acidity and tannins. The close is fruity and prolonged. An important point to note: a wine like this is sold at less than 15 euros. The winery that produces this red, Colle Massari, lies in the area of Montecucco where the local denomination is characterized by very territorial, classic wines, as if from another time in the past. This is the Grosseto province, right near Montalcino, an area historically famous for reds. Colle Massari’s owner, Claudio Tipa, an entrepreneur in pharmaceuticals, revolutionised the Montecucco area, a zone that was timidly starting to emerge on the Italian wine scene. Investing heavily, which benefited the neighboring zone as well, he set off a virtuous circle that helped other growers to expand as well as attracting entrepreneurs from more well-established areas. Besides this beautiful estate, Tipa also owns two other very important wineries, Grattamacco in the Bolgheri zone and Poggio di Sotto in Montalcino.

wine, food & other joys

spa: le terme di saturniaA few kilometers from Grosseto is another stop on our ideal tour of the zone, the thermal baths of Saturnia. A relaxing place in the middle of the Tuscan countryside, Saturnia has a number of natural springs, known even to the Etruscans and, after them, to the Romans, for their purifying and regenerative qualities. Sulphurous waters bubble from the earth at 37.5° C (99.5°F). Some can be visited at open-air free-access pools, but many are part of well-equipped and luxurious spa hotels.

...and where to drink it

canaponegrosseto www.ristorantecanapone.blogspot.it

If a visit to a winery didn’t exhaust your curiosity about Tuscany, we suggest a restaurant a few kilometers from Colle Massari: Canapone, in Grosseto. Although in the center of the city, it feels like a welcoming farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside. Beatrice Montefiori will be there to welcome you, but it’s Giulia Montefiori and and Alessio Biagi who are busy in the kitchen. Though their fine skills are uninfluenced by fashions, they reflect the traditional and classic tone of local cuisine in a contemporary manner. Tasting menus are the best choices and they take you on two different paths, one based on meat and one on fish, both thoughtful and fascinating. Among the farm-based dishes, sweetbreads with cubes of polenta and leek-potato cream is excellent, as are squab-stuffed ravioli with a sauce of shallots and crisp bread or roast squab with wine sauce (Morellino di Scansano) and browned mountain potatoes. On the seafood menu, try scallops with foie gras terrine and local lentils or fish-stuffed ravioli with a sauce of clams and mussels, or spaghetti alla chitarra (square-edged strands) in a black cuttlefish-ink sauce. Wild seabass dusted with caper and pancetta powder, broccoli tossed with garlic and red pepper, and an excellent seafood stew, cacciucco, were other winners. A wide choice of excellent desserts complete the meal. The wine list is very Tuscan and largely red-focused, but offers some interesting choices of French wine.

Pompeii’s wine reborn

On the morning of August 24, 79 AD, the people of Pompeii looked up to see Vesuvius covered with a grey cloud that showered them with ashes and lapilli, fragments of rock. It was a puzzling sight. The Pompeians didn’t know they were helplessly waiting for a terrifying eruption of the volcano that in a short time, would bury the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The two towns lay under the ashes for 1,700 years, until one day, workers digging a well for a villa came upon part of the wall of a Roman theater. Since then, 1709, excavations have continued constantly, but the two sites still hold great treasures. Besides impressive monuments, homes and buildings, the ashes also preserved ancient carbonized trellises and vineyards. Since 1996, the Archaelogical Research Laborator y of Naples and the Mastroberardino winery have been working with these, applying botanical studies to experimental archaeology. In 2003, the first wine grown in the zones of Pompeii that had been identified as vineyards was released, produced, as much as possible, according to ancient techniques. This exceptional project has captured the imagination of thousands of history and wine enthusiasts and led to the production of a red wine made with piedirosso and sciascinoso grapes. Called Villa dei Misteri, it is named for the celebrated villa that was one of the most f amous winer ie s o f the z one. Mastroberardino’s Villa dei Misteri wine represents one way to explore the culture and traditions of the ancient world, giving us a glimpse of the customs of people who lived 2,000 years ago. At the same time, the sale of the wine will help enhance and protect a territory, a landscape, a world heritage site that, if not preserved and cared for, risks crumbling, buried under new ashes of indifference and neglect.

Now in its twenty-third edition, this year’s Gambero Rosso restaurant guide pays special attention to new and up-and-coming places. Among the top scorers, winners of the coveted three forks or tre forchette rating, are not only famous names with international standing but also first-timers. Ilario Vinciguerra Restaurant in Gallarate (Varese) (91/100), Il Povero Diavolo in Torriana (Rimini) (90/100) and Da Vittorio, belonging to the Cerea family in Brusaporto (Bergamo) (90/100) show how the excellence of Italy’s restaurants takes new forms today. (Tre forchette winners score 90 or above on the Gambero Rosso 100-point rating scale.)The 2013 edition is easier to consult and offers interesting and affordable eating-out alternatives, with over 200 new appearances. New award categories reflect the popularity of birrerie (beer halls) with a three mugs award (Tre boccali) and of pizzerie with a three slices (Tre spicchi) award. We introduced a three globes award for ethnic restaurants (Tre mappamondi), a category that is improving continuously with excellent quality destinations around Italy. We also indicate restaurants with gluten-free menus.Campania and Lombardy, with three restaurants each, are the regions with

the most Tre forchette winners. Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany and Marche each vaunt two. Given the ongoing financial crisis, our price/quality award is more important than ever. Special prizes in this edition include one to the restaurant with the sommelier who best understands beer, sponsored by Gambero Rosso and Birra Moretti: the winner was Matteo Duri from the Sadler in Milan. William Zonfa from Magione Papale in Aquila won Emerging Chef 2013, an award given by Gambero Rosso, Acqua Panna and San Pellegrino. A special prize dedicated to women in restaurant kitchens, Tre Marie (Da donne a donne) recognized the excellence of La Tenda Rossa in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, a restaurant run largely by women and their families. A Gambero Rosso collaboration with Trentodoc led to a prize for the best wine list featuring metodo classico Italian wines: Ristorante Angelo Sabatelli in Monopoli (Bari).
