flagship variety – and there are good reasons for that Carignan – or Cariñena and Mazuelo as it’s known in its source area of Aragon in Spain – has its own appellation in Sardinia where the grape is prized for first-rate wines in a range of styles This was shown during a masterclass on 11 October where the UK wine trade were offered a day of tastings beamed lived from Italy to London Among these was a showcase for Carignano del Sulcis DOC an appellation in the southwest of Sardinia and its two nearby islands which is connected to Sardinia by a road bridge is notable for its extremely sandy vineyards although such soils can be found along all the coastal sites of the Carignano del Sulcis DOC Such a basis for vines is extremely important because it has ensured the root-eating phylloxera louse that devastated the vineyards of Europe in the late nineteenth century has never been able to damage the plants in these seaside sites – the bug doesn’t like sandy soils this area of Sardinia is home to one of Europe’s largest collection of pre-phylloxera vines allowing vignerons in Carignano del Sulcis DOC to make wines from extremely old this means that the region is home to viticulture as it was practised 150 years ago with ungrafted Carignano trained in the traditional Albarello system (pictured below) Carignano del Sulcis DOC is notable for the style of wines that are produced which range from easy-drinking light rosatos and reds tasting Carignano del Sulcis is a revelation as it can be fleshy and relatively concentrated dry tannic component in the most powerful wines Helping Carginano achieve greatness is this part of Sardinia is not just the age of the vines dry and windy conditions yielding concentrated next time you consider Carignan or Mazuelo remember that Sardinia

this grape does reach heights elsewhere in the world South Africa (Pederberg) and California (Mendocino how did Mazuelo end up in Sardinia – where it is also sometimes called Bovale di Spagno it is believed that the grape was brought from its native home of Aragon by the Spanish who ruled over the now Italian island from 1323 to 1720 no doubt due to its ability to withstand Sardinia’s dry and hot climate low-pH wines despite the harsh conditions – a result of its late-budding and late-ripening nature A pale peach wine with a slightly oily mouthfeel affordable (sub £20) red made from ungrafted vines – some of which are over 100 years old – grown on the sandy soils of Sant’Antioco and made by the Cantina Sardus Pater cooperative followed by persistent notes of cracked black pepper and dried herbs A flagship Sardinian Carignano created by the late great Italian wine consultant Giacomo Tachis who worked with the Santadi cooperative from 1984 and French oak barriques – where the wine ages for 18 months – this is a powerful complex and impressive red with a relatively high price tag (around £55) Flavour-wise there is lots of sweet black cherry A fascinating sweet wine from

EDTShareSaveThis article is more than 3 years old.Carignan was once its name did not appear on the labels because the wines were simple and inexpensive and no one cared from which grape the wine was made Carignan is still planted in the south of France Some great wines are made from Carignan in the Languedoc today it is called Mazuelo (and sometimes Cariñena) Sardinia also has a grape called Bovale Sardo totally different because it is the Spanish Graciano Sardinia has had strong links to Aragon in northern Spain This explains why so many of the grape varieties in Sardinia come from Spain The island’s top Carignano wines come from Carignano del Sulci’s DOC an appellation in the southwestern corner of Sardinia This has proven to be an excellent area for Carignan Carignano del Sulcis have a special character quite different from the French Carignan in the Languedoc the wines have warmer and riper fruit aromas and softer tannins Among the wines we tasted was Terre Brune from Cantina Santadi a wine considered one of the very best from Carignano del Sulcis Cantina Santadi was founded in 1960 and was an early quality pioneer on the island Bovale Sardo is believed to be identical to the Spanish Graciano and even though it has often been used in blends you see more and more wines with 100% Bovale Sardo The wines often have excellent acidity and sometimes also firm tannins easy-drinking wine in a warm climate style with wonderfully juicy fruit Rocca Rubia Carignano del Sulcis Riserva 2018 balance (despite 15% alcohol) and a good structure straightforward wine

producer seamlessly integrates the island’s history and natural beauty into a cohesive Cantina Mesa was founded in 2004 The family-owned winery was established as an ode to the culture a Mediterranean island steeped in natural beauty and rich history evoking the nostalgia of a meal enjoyed with family and friends the nourishment of simplistic home-cooked food and the serenity of convivial conversation The winery’s 66 hectares of vineyards are located in Sulcis an area in southwest Sardinia that offers wild biodiversity as well as a prime location between the Mediterranean and the island’s mountainous landscape This is the oldest geological area of Sardinia Respect for the environment is also of the utmost importance to Cantina Mesa The winery employs sustainable vineyard practices—absent of herbicides and fungicides—which in turn benefits the people who work the vines and the surrounding community of farmers and shepherds who rely on the land The essence of Sulcis is captured in two defining grapes: Carignano (also known as Carignan in France or Cariñena in Spain) and Vermentino Boasting much of the island’s Carignano plantings Sulcis has a long history with this red grape and harbors many old bush-trained vines that thrive in the region’s vineyards Thanks to the region’s proximity to the sea Vermentino has adapted well to Sulcis’ terroir This enticing grape produces a range of styles from citrus and herbal to tropical fruit and floral offering the perfect opportunity to discover this grape which evokes the region’s seaside vineyards These grapes are showcased in two of Cantina Mesa’s well-balanced and polished wines The Buio Carignano is a ruby-hued red that marries ripe red berry flavors with warm spice and wild Mediterranean herbs making it an exceptionally versatile wine that can pair with foods from grilled tuna and game birds to hard cheeses The Giunco Vermentino displays bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors along with energetic salty notes it showcases the Sulcis terroir as well as the elegant crystal-clear house style of Cantina Mesa; it pairs well with seafood The winery’s portfolio is wrapped in striking modernist packaging that gently nods to the traditions and history of Sardinia As an homage to the culture and people of the land black bottles evoke the silhouette of a Sardinian woman in traditional garb while each label displays a geometric print that echoes the unique hand-woven tapestries typical of the island Cantina Mesa successfully taps into Sardinia’s unique landscape and cultural heritage to

SevenFifty Daily is an award-winning online magazine about the business and culture of the beverage alcohol industry covering all three tiers of the alcohol industry Ignatius Mission works to save religious murals painted more than a century ago IGNATIUS – Father Andrew Maddock climbed up a set of wobbly stairs and dug into his pocket for his keys he opened the door and guided two visitors toward the heart of the historic St light shone through the ancient stained glass windows and illuminated 58 murals depicting various biblical stories and characters “(These murals) have been here for more than 100 years and they bespeak of God’s grandeur,” Maddock said The frescoes are perhaps the most striking part of the historic St located about 40 miles north of Missoula on the Flathead Indian Reservation And more than a century after an Italian-born Jesuit spent the better part of a year painting the murals Chunks of plaster frequently fall off the murals and cracks now crisscross the paintings says something must be done to save the paintings before it’s too late a year before the Flathead Indian Reservation was formed nearly 1,000 Native Americans settled near the Mission boarding schools and a hospital were established there in the shadow of the Mission Mountains construction began on the Mission’s current church using locally made bricks the church bell tower reached nearly 100 feet into the sky the interior was bare until Brother Joseph Carignano arrived in 1903 an Italian who entered the Society of Jesus when he was 20 was assigned to missions in the Pacific Northwest but he also had a knack for art and he painted murals in churches Francis Xavier in Missoula and the church in St Ignatius show scenes from the Old and New Testaments which is a depiction of the second coming of Christ On either side of the altar are images of Mary and Joseph The paintings are more impressive when you consider that Carignano was an amateur artist he had said he knew a little bit about art,” Father Maddock said “All it took was a little bit of talent to do all this.” 110 years after Carignano finished his works of art The deterioration was partly caused when the altar’s back wall began to sink In an effort to prevent it from sinking more the church installed new cribbing below the altar last year a team from New York-based EverGreene Architectural Arts arrived in St Ignatius to stabilize the murals with temporary mesh will keep pieces of the paintings from falling to the floor much more needs to be done to permanently preserve the paintings which specializes in restoring plasterwork Maddock is unsure how much it will cost to restore the murals (the stabilization work in October cost more than $13,000) The church has begun raising money for the project on Go Fund Me (https://www.gofundme.com/StIgnatius-Mission) Maddock said he is hopeful that within a few years the mural will look just like it did when Carignano completed it more than a century ago “Carignano used his talents to build up the body of Christ,” the priest said The continued support from our readers keeps our lights on and helps sustain local independent journalism in

accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free diners This casual new French café from the team behind Bistrot La Minette has much to appreciate from the smart location of its art deco-style space on reviving North Broad to the outgoing service and an impressive affordable menu of familiar Gallic classics at diner prices (most entrees under $21) The tradeoff is some inconsistency in the kitchen (including a frites problem) from excellent escargots to tasty roast chicken and flavorful bistro steaks that give Gabi a chance to become a new neighborhood standby MENU HIGHLIGHTS French onion soup; Lyonnaise

Mission is a Roman Catholic mission located in St The church was founded in 1854 and the current church building was built between 1891 and 1893 What sets this magnificent facility apart are 58 murals painted on the church walls and ceiling These murals are the work of Brother Joseph Carignano What is more amazing is Carignano was an untrained self-taught artist who served as the mission cook National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and is a popular stop for tourists traveling in Montana About 200 visitors per day visited the mission at that time The mission is normally open daily for visitors but is presently closed due to COVID restrictions and restoration work which is being done to the interior of the building Editor’s note: Longtime Los Alamos photographer Gary Warren and his

to have children and thus gain citizenship Immigration authorities in Argentina are cracking down on Russian women who since the invasion of Ukraine have started travelling to Buenos Aires to give birth in order to gain Argentinian citizenship for their children The director of Argentina’s immigration office said on Friday that a judicial investigation has been launched into what she described as a lucrative business that promises Argentinian passports for the Russian parents Carignano spoke after 33 expecting women – all between 32 and 34 weeks into their pregnancies – arrived on the same flight late on Thursday Several of the women were initially turned away at passport control but were eventually let into the country While the concept of birth tourism isn’t new, Moscow’s isolation from the west as a result of the war has made Argentina, where Russians face no visa requirements, a popular destination for families looking to give their children the privileges of second citizenship. Some 10,500 pregnant Russians have arrived in the South American country in the past year, Carignano said. Carignano said in a Telenueve channel interview on Friday that “5,800 of them [were] in the last three months, many of them declaring they were in the 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy.” Read moreThe official said that about 7,000 of the women returned home after giving birth leaving Argentinian lawyers charged with applying for Argentinian citizenship for the baby – and then the parents have their children and then leave Argentina never to come back,” Carignano said “We cannot allow them to shamelessly lie to us saying that they are tourists when they are not.” a lawyer representing one of the women delayed in the airport said his client was a Russian woman who was 32 weeks pregnant and had come to Argentina “escaping from the war” not agreeing to the war is enough for one to go to jail or for members of her family to be sent to the frontline of battle,” he told the LN+ cable news channel Ignatius church art and ornate interior stylings Tucked in trees and bounded by quiet streets Ignatius Mission has had an unassuming presence for many decades $1.6 million project to restore and preserve the murals and ornate details that adorn the interior of the 130-year-old church have made it a Montana masterpiece As word of the restoration work has spread a growing number of visitors have been lured off U.S Highway 93 to take in the historic church in St situated in the heart of the Mission Valley Some are tourists but “we also get a lot of local people who have never been here before,” says Rev the parish priest who helped lead the restoration project visitors are quickly greeted by a symphony of stained glass and 58 hand-painted murals on the walls and ceilings the interior of the church can take on a heavenly glow While Hightower can quickly share the religious stories portrayed in many of the murals he knows not all who visit see the big church in the little town on the Flathead Indian Reservation through the same lens “I can tell you the way most people react,” he says The answer to that question stretches back almost 170 years Ignatius Mission was founded in 1854 by Jesuit missionaries who also played a big role in establishing St Mary’s Mission near present-day Stevensville in 1841 were invited to the Bitterroot and Mission valleys by tribal delegations that traveled to St Ignatius Mission grew to include flour and lumber mills a hospital and became home not only to Jesuits but two orders of Catholic nuns the Flathead reservation was established and Salish inhabitants living in the Bitterroot were forced to move north to the Jocko and Mission valleys with the last group making the bitter walk north to the reservation in 1891 That’s the same year construction of the current church began with bricks fired from local clay and lumber  from nearby forestland The boarding schools withered over the decades but the church endures tribal members represent a healthy portion of the parishioners regard the historic structure as “their church,” Hightower says About a decade after the completion of the church which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s “I don’t think there was any question he was untrained,” says H a professor of art history and director of the University of Montana’s Museum of Art & Culture in Missoula This was someone who was highly skilled and very adept at what he did.” His portfolio includes work at a decommissioned church in Butte churches on the Oregon Coast and in Yakima Chacon says many of the murals likely reflect Italian paintings from the Renaissance and Baroque periods prints of which might have inspired Carignano “I would actually call him an inventive copyist,” Chacon says “He copied a lot of other people’s work,” a fact that doesn’t diminish Carignano’s paintings Clearly these projects demonstrate a great ambition for someone without any academic training While the mission church’s interior has seen physical changes over the decades including earlier attempts to conserve the murals and the addition of large stained-glass windows in the 1950s Hightower notes that financial issues in the 1970s prompted services to be held in the basement while the main church was left unheated for lengthy periods The irregular temperature control likely damaged the murals When the priest arrived at the mission parish in 2017 the plaster in the murals was in really bad shape “We were actually having big pieces of the plaster fall to the ground,” he says cheesecloth and rice paper were used to hold the plaster in place “It was at the point that if we didn’t restore it The urgency of the situation had been recognized by previous priests and parishioners a repair and restoration company based in Boise The cost estimate for the work was an eye-popping $1.2 million “This community is wealthy as far as tradition and wealthy as far as land,” Hightower says But enough money was scraped together to get the restoration project started bolstered by contributions from visitors to a donation box in the rear of the church in many cases removing a varnish that was applied in the 1950s that made them more brittle and dulled their appearance Lofty work in the church’s upper vault got an unlikely boost from the pandemic which made it possible for scaffolding to be left in place in the church’s center aisle Marsters and crew added detailed scroll work on the church walls The work had been covered some time ago in an earlier remodeling project Marsters and helpers returned to the church this spring to finish up details on the restoration With a resume that includes restoration work on all sorts of historic structures across the Pacific Northwest “This is my favorite project ever,” he says “I’m thrilled we got the funding and time to do it.” With an interest in Native American art and its preservation he was able to meet a number of parishioners and local folks who stopped in to view the progress and share stories The murals and other art elements in the church will need continual care “but we’ve extended the life of the building considerably,” Marsters says While the murals and interior details are completed Hightower has a wish list of future restoration projects The front stairs need work and the roof is due for repair an undertaking that could involve adding dormers And there is more art in need of preservation “We have quite a bit of statuary that hasn’t been restored yet,” he says And there are the two colorful paintings on the rear wall of the church titled “Christ as an Indian Chief,” and the other “Indian Madonna,” are the work of Selmer “Sam” Wiprud and his wife The paintings originally hung in a church near Arlee but were damaged by a fire and moved to St were nailed to the wall and the weight of the church’s bell tower has put stress on the paintings The to-do list seems long but the priest and the parishioners remained committed to do as much restoration as possible at the historic church “It’s been a real grace to be part of this project,” Hightower says The best stories are those that make a difference in the community we call home Please consider

its southerly neighbour is just six per cent bigger Sardinia is only Italy’s fourteenth largest region (Sicily Their fascinating wines deserve to be better known The first is Vermentino: maybe the world’s best That’s a question which merits a separate answer – which I’ll try to provide in a later blog Italy in general grows much less of this variety than does France (Carignan) or Spain (Mazuelo but I suspect that many Languedocien wine growers would be shocked to discover the rich textures and flavours which this variety can acquire in Sardinia Carignan is often a piercing alto in Languedoc and best blended; in Sardinia it can be warm and comforting bass Never better than in the sandy soils of Sulcis and especially on the large island of Sant’Antioco (Italy’s fourth largest in its own right) connected to the Sardinian mainland by a bridge that much Carignano de Sulcis is ungrafted I’d be surprised if Sardinian Carignano didn’t feature somewhere in the top twenty of any serious competitive blind tasting of this variety Italian plantings of this variety are dwarfed by Spain’s Garnacha stocks and France’s walletful of Grenache – but Sardinia’s efforts with the variety are of compelling interest The variety is grown in a number of different locations and different soils but the best for me came from the granite uplands around Nuoro and particularly the lonely village of Mamoiada the variety sheds its lowland sweetness and takes on an airy freshness and stony purity the kind of mountain Grenache which tiptoes gracefully into Pinot territory can be a wine of unusual completeness and authority for this variety That would be Sardinia’s own indigenous varieties (it claims up to 150) and specialities (including both sweet dry and botrytised Malvasia di Bosa; as well as the complex Genetic intricacy is always of interest for its own sake and I enjoyed the examples I tried of these rare varieties often salvaged with great efforts (including the white Arvisionadu At least I thought that the twelve just mentioned were all indigenous — but a little research after I got home in Robinson Harding and Vouillamoz’s Wine Grapes suggested that Bovale Mannu and Bovale Grande are in fact the same as Carignano Bovale Sardo and Cagnulari are identical to Graciano one of the island’s leading viticultural researchers says that Bovale Mannu is in fact another synonym for Graciano while Muristellu and Bovaleddu are not in fact Graciano but a different variety altogether Cagnulari certainly seemed to make the most interesting wines after Vermentino Carignano and Cannonau – in a rather less stern and more voluptuous guise than Graciano can often assume Canny readers will have noted just how much vine material Sardinia seems to share with Spain and this is usually attributed to a long period of Aragonese rule in Sardinia (between the arrival of the Catalan army under Crown Prince Alfonso of Aragon in 1324 and the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713) Catalan is still spoken in the northwestern Sardinian port of Alghero point out that the trading Phoenicians may have been moving these grape varieties around before the Aragonese ever arrived – and they would dearly love to prove that Cannonau is in fact an indigenous variety which the Aragonese took back to Spain no comprehensive genetic proof of this – though some 2010 research by Manna Crespan and others claimed that Cannonau is more genetically diverse than Spanish Grenache Other researchers cited by the Wine Grapes authors The question will be tussled over for a while yet I haven’t mentioned the usual plethora of DO and IGT names since the island’s leading wines usually contain the variety name in the DO or IGT formula pan-Sardinian IGT ‘Isola dei Nuraghi’ — since no such island can be found in any atlas It’s a cultural reference to the mysterious towers called Nuraghe which dot Sardinia and which date back to 730 BCE to 1900 BCE was that since ‘Sardegna’ already featured in a number of DOC formulae would have been more helpful to consumers than sending them scurrying off for an island which doesn’t exist made from 100-year-old ungrafted bush vines on the island of Sant’Antioco and exposed to the ‘salty wind’ that gives the wine its Sardinian name The palate is very deep and fleshy for Carignan This is a much lighter wine than the Bentesali (50 year old vines and with 10 per cent Monica) yet it has superb concentration and tannic grip behind the rose produced from selected Sedilesu bush vines of 50 years or more in the best years only harvested in October and given a month’s maceration crushed stone and perfumed plum skins is followed by a dense seems to explode in the mouth and send granite shards force-of-nature wine is magnificent now but will surely see out a decade or two without trouble Some Sardinian Cagnulari can be very savoury but the Siddùra version is full of peppery fruits smooth-textured flavours – yet it grows in complexity and stature with time in the mouth; the finish is stony even tarry: this Cagulari smells nocturnal and byzantine with both red and black fruit notes freighted with more exotic incense spice and both satisfying and refreshing to drink A masterful rendition of what can often be a difficult grape to vinify with complex scents: both sweet and savoury it is another wine which seems smooth and rich when you first sip but which acquires texture and flavoury grain as it lingers in the mouth An astonishing young Cagnulari: intoxicating primary fruit and flower aromas come storming from the glass lush and luscious wine of huge exuberance and impact There is ample tannin to counterbalance its very sweet style of fruit (though the producer assures me the wine contains no residual sugar) This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Get our news on your inbox!

Malvinas/Falkland Islands Migrations Director Florencia Carignano said it was a “historical precedent.”  “I can assure the Malvinas are Argentine,” Molina was quoted as saying “I made this decision because I have to regularize myself before Argentina because it is the right thing to do I wanted to be in line with the Argentine immigration legislation,” she added Molina arrived Wednesday in Buenos Aires from the Islands en route to Havana to visit her family where she works as a hydroponics technician • Histórico: Yamila Socorro Molina, es cubana, vive en nuestras #IslasMalvinas y con un gran orgullo @Migraciones_AR le otorgó la residencia argentina pic.twitter.com/N1vpcfMwum We Build #Sovereignty,” Carignano posted on her Twitter account after meeting with Molina at her office The official then argued that the measure would help “consolidate the sovereignty of our country over the territory of the Malvinas.” “Consolidating the sovereignty of our country over the territory of the Malvinas is a challenge that we must assume and from Migrations we put the mandate of the National Constitution at the forefront of these challenges” ”There are 86 nationalities (living on the islands) When you ask them what continent they live on they don't say South America These are things that shock you as a Latino,” said Molina Commenting for this story is now closed.If you have a

Savoy has made the unexpected announcement that he will renounce his position as heir to the defunct Italian throne in favour of his older daughter The Prince revealed his decision in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Torino during which he expressed his approval for his father’s decision to abolish Salic Law and therefore grant his granddaughter with the title of heir to the Italian throne everyone is understanding that the intelligence and sensitivity of women in power can be marvellous” will be up to the task that will fall upon her with this decision to step aside just like the women of the Savoy dynasty were before her considered by many to be the person who brought the Monarchy closer to the common people who transformed the Palace into a hospital during World War II Prince Emmanuel Filiberto also talked about his daughter’s current attitude saying that “she is sensitive and intelligent and worries about the things she sees around her” which is why she left with a group of volunteers of the Red Cross at the start of the Ukrainian war Princess Vittoria Cristina Adelaide Chiara Maria of Savoy was born  on the 28th of December 2003 in Geneva the first of two daughters that the Prince had with his wife The family currently resides in Monte Carlo The Princess currently studies art history and political science in the United Kingdom something that brings her closer to other European royals a point that the Prince himself remembered in his interview will have little to no impact on the life of Italy: the Monarchy was abolished in 1946 with a referendum Noble titles have little to no value in modern day society and the Savoy family itself is embroiled in a dispute over succession rights with the main branch fighting with the Aosta branch to determine who has the rights to a throne that Prince Emmanuel Filiberto said that he respects the country’s decision to become a Republic and that he fought for the exile ban to be lifted (the family was allowed back to Italy at the end of 2002) because he “wished to offer them the opportunity to start a life The Argentinean government will require all border provinces to submit a structured protocol for approval August 10 (RHC)-- The National Director of Migration of Argentina informed on Monday that they are studying the possibility of reopening the land borders with Uruguay and Chile from next September 6 as long as the COVID-19 infection curve keeps its downward trend "We went from 1,000 people who can enter to 1,700 until September 6 conditioned to the opening of other international airports in the country and the establishment of safe land corridors," said Carignano The official indicated that one of the possible reasons for the opening is the tendency of decrease in the number of infections in Uruguay and Chile as well as the progress they have made in their vaccination plans Carignano affirmed that Argentina is also making progress with the vaccination against Covid-19 where more than 12 million doses have been applied in the last five weeks and a decrease of 40 to five percent in the non-compliance with the isolation by travelers arriving to the national territory It is precisely during this period that the partial restriction on the entry of Argentinean citizens who were abroad has been in force due to this high rate of non-compliance with quarantines in addition to the increase in the scourge of the Delta variant of the virus The official detailed the necessary requirements to successfully implement the opening in the provinces among which stand out the existence of a laboratory to test the entrants; to have isolation sites for them; and to have a mechanism for the transfer of samples to the Malbrán to determine the variant of the coronavirus for those who test positive In the cases of the provinces bordering Chile or Uruguay citizens must present a structured protocol for approval; while he added that only the provinces of Buenos Aires determined to establish their isolation in hotel facilities while the rest maintain the previous mechanism enter your e-mail address in the box below Dana is a reporter and Travel Tomorrow’s Associate
