Chardonnay is 25% of white plantings and not 50%
Despite having a number of impressive native grape varieties, Chardonnay accounts for over 25% of white plantings as it is used in both still and sparkling wine production.
as of 2021 which is the latest statistics
Trebbiano Toscano is not actually the most planted white grape in Italy. As the chart shows on page 41, Glera is the most widely planted white grape.
Dolce wines from Friuli Colli Orientali can be made from any of the listed grapes; however, the most famous of these are made from Picolit.
Thus please ignore the *Picolit only.
Moving from DOC to DOCG
In 2015, the rules for moving from a DOC to a DOCG changed from 5 years to 7 years. Other sources say 10 years. The wording of the law is very ambigious and it seems that in some cases it could be 7 and in others 10 years. Do not worry as this number will not be testable, and once we have a definitive answer we will update this accordingly!
Below is an up-to-date list of spelling mistakes throughout the text.
List of spelling errors
Venezie DOC details on page 291 are incorrect
The correct details should be the same as those on page 267. Reproduced here.
Canaiolo Bianco
Canaiolo Bianco was long thought to be a mutation of the darker-berried Canaiolo Nero; however, DNA testing has disproved this. The name Canaiolo Bianco is used to describe several different grape varieties and is occasionally and erroneously used as a synonym for Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vermentino. The variety is perhaps best known in Umbria where it is called Drupeggio and is one of the varieties authorized in the white blends of Orvieto. The grape variety is also blended with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon inthe red and rosé wines of Toscana’s Barco Reale di Carmignano DOC.
Correction to grape name
The name of the grape should be Malvasia Bianca di Candia. The Aromatica is not correct here.
