BERTA The latest watering hole from the proprietors of Vini, Berta has a stump-the-concierge address, a devoted following for after-work wine (an evolving list of unusual Italian varietals), and sharable small plates like addictive deep-fried cauliflower in chickpea batter.
Following their lead, we preserve cabernet franc's varietal character by using a small percentage of new oak and bottling the wine as 100percentt cabernet franc.
The two share a region and a grape varietal (glera), but little else.
Small amounts of cabernet sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals are cultivated, but only to enhance the merlot.
That is why the association is investing in "micro-lotting" – separating out very small quantities of beans by quality, size, price point, varietal, the type of fertiliser used and who grew them.
It is first presented as applying only to the divergences taking place at the varietal level, with varieties represented by the small lower-case letters within species A L of a "wide ranging genus," with the horizontal time coordinates measured in terms of a limited number of generations.
For the root architecture traits, varietal group had a significant effect only on small lateral root length, and there were no significant interactions of varietal group and P treatment (Additional file 2: Table S2).
(ii) How is the Moroccan genetic and morphologic diversity structured relative to two factors: the geographic location at small and large scales, and the farmers' taxonomy (i.e. the varietal names attributed to the cultivated populations).
We had visited Kristian Keber, who believes in making just a single kind of wine ("to promote the area and not a variety"); Venica & Venica, which produces 13 different varietals; Josko Gravner, who uses amphorae; and Raccaro, another small producer, where the wine passes through stainless steel vats.
