5 – Explain “Governo all’uso Toscano”.

Back 5

Governo is a winemaking technique reportedly invented in Tuscany in 14th century to help complete fermentation and stabilize the wine. The technique involves saving a batch of harvested grape and allowing them to partially dry. If fermentation of the main batch starts to slow or appears to be nearing stuck fermentation, the half dried grapes are added to the must which then gives the yeast cells a new source of sugar to enliven the batch.[1] From there, the must can be fermented dry or stopped with the wine having a higher level of residual sugar. The process was widely used in the Chianti zones until the advent of temperature controlled fermentation tanks. From Tuscany the technique spread to Marche and Umbria where it is sometimes used today. In the Marche the technique is most often used on wines made from the Verdicchio grape to counteract the grape's natural bitterness and to add some sweetness and frizzante qualities
The benefits of Governo is that it encourages not only fully

18 What Animal do you see on a bottle of Chianti? Do you know the origine?

Back 18

Often you will find a picture of a black rooster (Gallo Nero) on the neck of a bottle of Chianti, denoting that the wine was produced by the area's main cooperative of wine producers. This black rooster is also generally a symbol of Chianti, and there is an interesting story about its origins. In the Middle Ages, during the struggle for territory between Florence and Siena, the first fierce battle took place in 1082. In order to settle the boundary dispute, it was agreeed that two horsemen should set out at cock's crow galloping toward each other from their respective communities. The place where they would meet would become the frontier. For this purpose the Sienese selected a well-fed much pampered white rooster. The clever Florentines, however, chose a black rooster and fed him almost nothing so that, on the appointed day, he crowed long before dawn. The two horesemen met only a short distance outside of Siena. As a result, almost the entire area including the towns of Radda and Castellina came to be ruled by Florence.
