Barolo, a DOCG-wine and one of Italy's most exclusive and best red wines. The minimum age for aging is three years, two of which must be in barrel. Barolo may be designated as Riserva if it was aged in barrel for at least four years. Barolo may be also designated as Riserva Speciale if it was aged in barrel for at least five years. There are two schools: 1. modern school and 2. traditional school. The modern school ferments at a lower temperature and allows the grape skins macerate (i.e. let the grape skins remain in the must and leach) in maximum two weeks. The traditional school ferments at a higher temperature (up to 30ºC) and allows the grape skins macerate for three to four weeks, and ages wines in "botti" for many years (8 to 10 years). (2014-10)

Barsac, French appellation that belongs to the Graves wine district, which belongs to the Bordeaux wine region. It is known for its sweet wines. Botrytis cinereas’s (noble rot) attack on the grape skins is crucial in the production of these wines. Without fog and high humidity would not be noble rot and Barsac’s unique sweet wines, and in the autumn, when the climate is hot and dry and the temperature difference between the air, the Garonne river and its tributary the Ciron, is the greatest that the noble rot develops. The more the grapes are affected by the noble rot, the more they are vulnerable to rain and, therefore, a heavy rain can destroy the entire vintage. Before, these sweet wines had a sugar content of 90 grams per litre and today, they have the sugar content between 120 and 130 grams per litre. The allowed yield is incredible low, 25 hl/ha, while the average yield is even lower, 19 hl/ha. (2014-06)
