The most important grape varieties
Italy is one of the oldest wine-growing countries in the world, the origins go back at least until 1000 BC. At this time in central Italy appeared the Etruscan on, the part-populated areas of today's Abruzzo, Lazio, Tuscany and Umbria. The origin of the Italian wine culture lies in the Greek colonization, with the 10th Starting century BC on the island of Sicily and Campania and Calabria regions of today's Greek wine culture was brought to the Peninsula. The Greeks brought many of their vines gave the almost ideal for winegrowing country name Oinotria . Similarly, at that time practiced the later to become great enemy Phoenicia (Punic), who built on Sicily and the Mediterranean bases, an influence. From the 6th Century BC, began a lively trade with the Celts in Gaul (France), the imported substantial quantities of wine from the upper and middle Italy.
Of all these people, and also led the Romans learned the winemaking to a fine art. In the 3rd Century BC, the grapevine was common across the boot. In the 1st Century BC, the wine culture reached its peak. The city of Pompeii was until it was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 BC, the wine trade and wine center-the main supplier of the capital Rome. The most famous Ancient wines were at this time Caecuber , Falernian and Surrentinum . The Romans were in the newly acquired provinces in today's France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and England vineyards. Wine was to import and export products and the Romans introduced it also has been manufacturing wooden barrels, taking it from the Celts had learned.
A number of Roman authors wrote about viticulture and wine culture in some very extensive work and thus allow a very accurate picture. It ranges from a purely scientific and didactic writings on poetic descriptions to descriptions about the drinking and dining culture. The most important, in chronological order are Cato the Elder (234-149 BC), Virgil (70-19 BC), Horace (65-8 BC), Ovid (43 BC to 8 AD), columella first (1st half century.), Petronius (d. 66), Pliny (23-79) and Palladius (4th cent.). Wine became a cultural medium of the first rank, in continuation of the Greek Dionysus enjoyed the wine god Bacchus (god of wine) great veneration. The Romans were very creative regarding vinification techniques. A specialty was the flavoring to make the wine tastier and more durable.
It has already sparkling wine by storing the amphora produced in cold spring water (fermentation interruption). In the first century AD, occupied themselves intensively with the Breeding of vines and tried for the particular soil to find the most suitable grape. Many of today's indigenous grapes come from the then cultivated varieties Ancient off. By the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th Century and the great confusion of the great migration came the wine culture has been forgotten and was only by various religious monasteries of the Roman Catholic Church through production of altar wine being maintained.
Gave great impetus it again at the beginning of the Renaissance in the 14th Century. To revive the wine, did Pope Paul III. (1468-1549) the French wine outlawed and had to create detailed reports on the former Italian wine. Already in 1716 were Grand Duke Cosimo III. (1642-1723) set out to the Medici family in Tuscany, the wine zones of the Chianti, Italy was one of the first countries with Origin . But it was not until the 19th Century wine types with French help, such as Barolo, Brunello and Chianti were created himself initiated a new beginning. With more than 2,000 different varieties Italy has most of the world, many of them are still Ancient varieties (Greek) origin. Of these, but "only" 400 officially approved. The Blend (2007):
Beginning of the 1990s, the vineyard was still well over a million acres, but due to subsidized Clear the EU were reduced by approximately 200,000 hectares. In 2007, 847,000 hectares of 45.981 million hectoliters of wine were produced. This puts Italy in the world on the top and Knights constantly with France and Spain for the first place (see Wine production quantities ). Wine is produced from the north of the country (South Tyrol) and in the deep south (Sicily) and the Mediterranean islands. Currently, more than 300 DOC and DOCG zones are recognized by almost a thousand types of wine, but make up only around 20% of production. There are around two million harvesters, 340,000 and 45,000 wine cellar bottler.
The soil is characterized by great diversity, but the climate has, despite local differences common factors. The Alps shield against cold north winds, the Apennine mountains form the Piedmont in the north to Sicily in the south, a 1,500-kilometer-long weather divide. The eastern Mediterranean and the Tyrrhenian Sea west of the boot as well as the numerous rivers and lakes affect determinative. The best areas have on average.

Until after the Second World War, began in Italy more grounded and less on quality. From the 1960s took place then a profound change. The first area in which the "Italian wine miracle" was noticeable was Chianti Classico in Tuscany, where a radical break with the past was completed. These include the famous wineries contributed Antinori , Frescobaldi and Ricasoli and later Ca 'del Bosco decisively in Lombardy. In the last third of the 20th Century, the Italian wine has changed more than a thousand years before that.
In 1963, with a new wine law created a comprehensive policy and introduced a new quality designation "Controlled Denomination of Origin" (DOC), which is critical as a result of quality improvements helped. As the first DOC wine in 1966, Vernaccia di San Gimignano named. Only in 1980 for the very best wines followed the highest level "Denomination of Origin Controlled and Guaranteed" (DOCG). The first four DOCG wines this year were first Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano , then followed Barbaresco and Barolo .
There were no other significant changes to it in 1992 with the after the Italian Agriculture Minister Giovanni Goria Law (1943-1994) named "Goria-law", with the Origin once more emphasizes the quality and level of IGT was introduced. The addition Classico called traditional areas and better quality Asked core zones within a DOC or DOCG area. Are alcohol or maximum income over the minimum values, the addition is Superiore , with longer barrel maturation Reserve permitted.
Wine categories: In August 2009, EU wine market was valid with fundamental changes to the wine labels and quality levels. By the EU Member States to allow time for changes, a transition period until end of 2011. There are the following new names and quality levels (see also detail under Quality System ):
* Vino - equivalent to the now banned term as Vino da Tavola
* IGP = Protected Geographical Indication (formerly IGT = Geographical Indication Tipica)
* PDO = Protected Denomination of Origin (formerly DOC, DOCG)
In April 2010, the new national wine law was valid, with the Decree No. 164 was replaced in 1992. They were not content with merely adapting to the new EU law, but made a few substantial changes. The old and the new names on the label may be alternatively or simultaneously. This choice is the main reason to avoid a "flattening" of the DOC to DOCG, since both would be unified in an exclusive use of DOP and DOCG is yes to continue to provide high quality standard with DOC. In summary, there are now stricter and clearer rules formulated.
Grape : All appellation wines may be pressed only from approved varieties for IGT wines under observation are located varieties approved. The grapes must be called mandatory in the production regulations. This information may also be made subject to a percentage tolerance of one percent (previously only the composition of the varieties specified in the vineyards).

Vino: The old name "VdT" (Vino da Tavola) is now banned. There are wines and without which the cultivar and / or vintage.
IGT = Geographical Indication Tipica = IGP: The next highest quality level corresponding to a Wine Country . IGT also have to undergo in the future, a chemical-physical analysis (sensory testing, however, remains still prescribed only for DOC / DOCG wines). The wine must be in the nature of a typical geographically based characteristics. Designation as he can as a region as "Rosso di Toscana" or even a grape designation as "Moscato di Canelli" bear. The minimum requirements for alcohol-hectare maximum yields are below the DOC level. The areas are usually much larger than the DOC zones, for example, there is a comprehensive the entire region, "Toscana". From the 1980s led to the high quality of some of IGT wines from Tuscany to the term super-Tuscans . There are about 120 IGT wines with around 30% of production.
DOC = Denomination of Controlled Origin = DOP: This Quality wine with controlled origin must come from specified grape varieties that are grown in certain areas, are processed according to fixed amounts and methods and expanded (see below). Some DOC zones produce only one wine, others. Several in different colors, varieties or species As a German-language counterpart to the South Tyrolean wines QbA name is (quality wine produced in specified regions) allowed. These wines make up about 25% of production.
= DOCG Denomination of Origin Controlled and Guaranteed = DOP: This Quality wine with controlled and guaranteed origin represent the highest Italian "honor class", the most highly prized wines guarantees authenticity. These wines make up only about 5% of production.
DOC and DOCG correspond to the French AOC system. One of the constraints in different varieties including, bottle shape, minimum aging period in barrels and bottles, minimum alcohol content, minimum acid content, minimum net dry extract, and color and bouquet. Prior to marketing there is a sensory and Analytical Review . Since 1992, the controlled source naming of sub-zone (sottozona), municipality (comune), district (frazione), microclimate zone (microzona), winery (fattoria, cascina or podere) and the vineyard parcel (vigna or vigneto) for wines extraordinary quality possible. The new law thus raises the importance of the origin prominent.
The wines or regions can stay flexible in quality and hierarchy. This means that inefficient DOC areas can be eliminated. If wines have maintained their quality five years, they DOC and after another five years of DOCG status is granted. This is also possible for subdivisions and individual layers (vigna), which is considered a top rank. It can also achieve a single, outstanding brand wine DOCG status if he "does honor to Italy".
