Programme of Seminars at Vinexpo 2013 italian wine: an endless adventure INTRODUCTION

PART 1 – Vitis vinifera and archaeology Archaeology, wine and molecular genetics: disciplines that are apparently not related at all, are actually very efficient instruments enabling us to understand the identity and the character of Italian wine. Italian wine civilization has preserved vibrant testimonies of the past in its more ancient vineyards, where the grapes variety represented lead back to the early domestication and winemaking processes of Etruscan, Greek and Roman ages. The archeological remains discovered in various areas, especially on the Tirrenica coast, dating from the Bronze age (first millenium), show the presence of structures for wine production (millstones) and for wine transportation (vinarie amphoras) from the Greek-Aegean matrix; as well as the first examples of wild grapes in domestication phase. The rich funeral gears enrich this wine culture and the symposium thalassocracy Etruscan culture. Odissea stories contributed to spread wine myth and its ritual consumption. Ulisse travels between Sicily and Campania cost identifies places where wines are still produced today; varietal grapes and winemaking technics date back those from these ancient origins, in natural landscape scenes and archaeological reminders of great emotional impact.

From the first Greek settlements under mount Etna to the wines of Marsala June 18 – 9:30 – 10:30 Speaker: Attilio SCIENZA

Ancient Sicily was divided in territories ruled by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians in the West while the Greeks, having begun their conquest from territories bordering Mount Etna, ruled the major part of the Island. These cultural influences have profoundly marked the society, the economy, the architecture, the cuisine and the types of wines produced in Sicily. Through DNA testing of the numerous existing ancient vine varietals it has been possible to link their geographic origin to the two territories. The Sicilian vine varietals from the Etna region reveal definite characteristics linked to Greek origins as well as an important link to vine varietals cultivated on the Ionic coast of Calabria. On the other hand, the vine varietals for Marsala have different origins. Even today, the curious traveler can retrace the history of three thousand years of Sicily through the stylistic features of the landscape but mostly through its cuisine and its wines.
