On a hilltop at the edge of the town of Noceto on northern Italy’s Po Plain a 2004 construction project had gotten just a few feet into the ground when a wooden structure began to emerge A team of archaeologists led by Mauro Cremaschi and Maria Bernabò Brea was called in to investigate we thought it was probably some sort of residential building,” says team member Andrea Zerboni a geoarchaeologist at the University of Milan we noticed that the sediments inside the structure weren’t related to domestic activity.” Rather than material such as ash and charcoal typically found where people lived or worked the structure was filled with natural sediments of the sort that would be found in a lake The structure they were excavating was not a building at all the researchers realized—it was an artificial pool What they have learned about this pool in the years since has provided surprising new insights into the social organization and ritual practices of a culture that thrived in this fertile region for centuries during the second millennium B.C “The Noceto pool is unique in Italy—it’s unique in the world,” says Zerboni “Building such a structure implies very careful planning We don’t expect to find such majestic structures from prehistory.” When they reached the bottom of the pool after several years of careful work the archaeologists marveled at the feat of ancient engineering before them Twenty-six wooden poles were arranged vertically to form a tank measuring roughly 40 feet long More than 240 interlocking boards lined the pool’s earthen walls and were held in place by the poles were pressed against the walls by two networks of horizontal beams that crossed the pool perpendicular to each other a pair of long beams were arranged diagonally to buttress the four corner poles the pool’s builders had good reason to take extra care to ensure the soundness of their design we have finished the excavation,’” says Zerboni “But we dug a few more trenches just to check what was below the tank and we found evidence of another wood structure.” This turned out to be an earlier attempt at building a somewhat larger tank which had collapsed before it was completed It’s unclear whether the earlier design simply couldn’t withstand the pressure of the earthen walls or whether one of the area’s frequent earthquakes contributed to its demise The team found no indication that the pool had served any practical purpose There was no sign of a mechanism for channeling water in or out and the fine-grained sediments had accumulated slowly at the pool’s bottom without the sort of regular disturbance that would have occurred if it had served as a reservoir uncover an extensive array of material in the pool The finds include around 150 complete vases and 25 miniature vessels which pottery experts dated to this region’s Middle Bronze Age (ca Zerboni notes that the pottery found in the pool is of a type that would have been highly valued and used only for special occasions The excavators also uncovered seven small clay votive figurines depicting horses Similar examples from the period in Europe are known A large number of animal remains were unearthed as well but also a complete skeleton of a baby pig as well as hundreds of wooden farming tools including four whole and fragmentary plows These items had all been carefully deposited in the pool in distinct layers we started thinking it was related to some sort of ritual,” says Zerboni “The Noceto pool was probably built to celebrate something.” farmers belonging to a culture known as the Terramare settled the Po Plain which is bordered by the Alps to the north and west The Terramare completely cleared the area’s forests and intensively cultivated the land and supporting plentiful herds of livestock including sheep the Terramare embarked on extensive irrigation projects They located their settlements along the Po River and its tributaries These settlements were surrounded by moats which were at once defensive features and additional sources of water The Terramare built their houses on wood piles using timber harvested from the rapidly depleting forests the remains of Terramare villages grew into mounds that became stores of rich organic material This phenomenon is the source of the culture’s name—from terra marna which means “rich land” in the local Emilian dialect In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the decayed contents of many of these mounds were used to fertilize the fields of the Po Plain which continues to be one of the most agriculturally productive regions in Europe Such was the fate of the mound containing the remains of the Terramare village closest to the Noceto pool To determine when exactly the tanks were built the University of Milan team recently collaborated with Sturt Manning an archaeologist and dendrochronology expert at Cornell University which meant that conventional dendrochronology was not an option—there is not a continuous securely dated sequence of oak tree-ring records that goes back as far as the Middle Bronze Age in northern Italy Manning used a technique called tree-ring radiocarbon wiggle matching This involved measuring the amount of radioactive carbon in samples drawn from a number of rings in wood from the tanks Given that the baseline amount of radiocarbon in the atmosphere fluctuates over time based on factors such as the level of sunspot activity the amount of radiocarbon in a sequence of tree rings does not decline at a steady rate that corresponds to the rings’ ages a graph of the rings’ radiocarbon content includes a series of “wiggles,” or fluctuations in the amount of radiocarbon By comparing these wiggles with measurements of radiocarbon in trees whose precise ages are known Manning was able to estimate the age of the wood from the tanks The presence of the tree ring immediately below the bark in one case along with two groupings of “sapwood rings,” which are close to the bark helped establish that the timber used to build the tanks was felled at two different points and the upper tank was built about 12 years later There is some uncertainty in the measurement of radiocarbon levels but both estimates are thought to be accurate to within around four years This technique gave the team a far more precise date than had been possible using pottery styles or conventional radiocarbon dating It placed the pool’s construction very close to a time when a major shift in the Terramare culture occurred the number of Terramare settlements increased and some grew much larger The overall population also increased and people exploited the land more aggressively There are indications that what had been a relatively egalitarian society grew more hierarchical at this point the pool and the items deposited in it were likely intended to represent many of the elements contributing to the culture’s success which they used to build their villages; farming tools which they used to work the land; and water “These were probably offerings to a divinity or to nature to show how grateful they were,” Zerboni says “The pool was a sort of monument intended to celebrate the agriculture and the natural resources that supported their community.” Manning believes that the process of building the pool may have helped fortify the hierarchy that appears to have developed as the Terramare population exploded “You might speculate that this is the sort of group building and regional collective activity that an ambitious ruler or priest might engage in to link together a community or even a couple of communities,” he says “Creating the thing means people have to gather together and then it becomes a sort of venue to come and visit afterwards.” Those members of the community who climbed the hill to gaze into the pool’s waters might have been rewarded with a transcendent experience “You could almost see this as a mirror in which you would have been both looking at the reflection of the world around you but also looking through it to see some form of netherworld or underworld,” Manning says “I wonder if this wasn’t symbolic of connections between the divine and the earthly for these people.” and all their settlements on the Po Plain were abandoned This was most likely a result of a strain on resources due to increasing population the Terramare likely moved to the Apennines or the southern edge of the Alps The plain was resettled around 200 years later which continued to be used until quite recently Among the tools excavated in the Noceto pool recognized a small piece of bent wood used to poke holes in the soil in which farmers would then plant seeds “I remember my grandfather used the same tool to cultivate his garden,” he says we have the roots of the traditional culture of the Po Plain which probably dates back almost 3,500 years.” members of a culture known as the Terramare built a large artificial pool on a hilltop near the northern Italian town of Noceto The Terramare were extremely successful farmers which was filled with a wide range of artifacts was a ritual site intended to celebrate the

Women gathered this morning at the 'Il Noce' sports centre in Noceto for their first training session of the 2024/25 season After undergoing medical check-ups and athletic tests on Monday and Tuesday the team assembled at their operational base to officially begin their preparation for the upcoming championship Both returning players from last season and new arrivals attended the training with Sporting Director Domenico Aurelio welcoming the new arrivals and greeting familiar faces Aurelio expressed his confidence in the group starting the new season encouraging everyone to always strive for the highest goal and concluded with a good luck wish to all the players for the start of the new championship describing the team as his twentieth family (as this is his twentieth season as a coach) Colantuono emphasised the importance of having ambitious goals and urged the players never to settle and always strive for the best results on the field the players began the training session with activation exercises in the gym followed by athletic work and technical drills on the field The second pre-season training session is scheduled for tomorrow at 09:00 CEST in Noceto PRE-SEASON

dendrochronology and a form of radiocarbon dating called “wiggle-matching” to date their origins to 1444 and 1432 B.C. The Noceto Vasca Votiva is a unique wood structure that was unearthed on a small hill in northern Italy in 2005 Built primarily of oak and slightly larger than a backyard swimming pool the exact purpose of the in-ground structure has remained a mystery Researchers carefully remove wooden beams from the Noceto Vasca Votiva before its restoration origins go back to the late Middle Bronze Age in archeological terms it’s like comparing the culture that invented the steam engine with the one that produced the iPad A Cornell team led by Sturt Manning, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences in Classics and director of the Tree-Ring Laboratory used dendrochronology and a form of radiocarbon dating called “wiggle-matching” to pinpoint the years in which the structure’s two main components were created: a lower tank in 1444 B.C. Each date has a margin of error of four years The finding confirms that the Noceto Vasca Votiva was built at a pivotal moment of societal change and bolsters the Italian researchers’ theory that the structure was used for a supernatural water ritual The team’s paper, “Dating the Noceto Vasca Votiva, a Unique Wooden Structure of the 15th Century BCE, and the Timing of a Major Societal Change in the Bronze Age of Northern Italy,” published June 9 in PLoS ONE Manning has led the Tree-Ring Laboratory since 2006 and his team has advanced a range of tools and techniques that have successfully challenged common assumptions about historical artifacts and timelines Among the lab’s specialties is tree-ring sequenced radiocarbon “wiggle-matching,” in which ancient wooden objects are dated by matching the patterns of radiocarbon isotopes from their annual growth increments (i.e. tree rings) with patterns from datasets found elsewhere around the world This enables ultra-precise dating even when a continuous tree-ring sequence for a particular species and geographic area is not yet available you’re often trying to do dendrochronology with relatively few samples because they’ve been falling apart for the last 3,500 years before you get to see them It’s not like a healthy tree that is growing out in the wild right now,” Manning said “We often measure the samples a number of times to extract as much signal as we can.” The Noceto Vasca Votiva is about 12 meters long 7 meters across and roughly four meters deep – although the depth was a little ambiguous at first the researchers found that the structure had a second tank beneath it which had been built first but collapsed before it was finished It was initially unclear how much time elapsed between the creation of the two tanks Judging by the size of the structure and the extensive labor that would have been required to excavate the earth and drag timber to the uphill location the Italian researchers recognized that the Noceto Vasca Votiva was a major undertaking for its era and theorized its purpose But they were unable to determine the precise date of its origins and so turned to the Cornell Tree-Ring Laboratory By combining radiocarbon dating calibrated via dendrochronologies from southern Germany the Cornell team was able to establish a tree-ring record that spanned several hundred years They pegged the construction of the lower and upper tanks at 1444 and 1432 B.C. respectively; and they determined the finished structure was in use for several decades before it was abandoned The new timeline is particularly significant because it synchs up with a period of enormous change in Italian prehistory “You’ve had one way of life in operation for hundreds of years and then you seem to have a switch to fewer and a change in burial practices,” Manning said “There is something of a pattern all around the world Nearly every time there’s a major change in social organization there tends often to be an episode of building what might be described as unnecessary monuments So when you get the first states forming in Egypt Stonehenge marks a major change in southern England but it has some similarities – an act of major place-making.” Because the structure was located atop a hill and not in the center of a village The smooth layers of sediment that filled in the structure the researchers discovered a large set of objects deliberately deposited inside the tank All of that evidence indicates the structure was used in some kind of supernatural water ritual “It’s tempting to think it was about creating a reflective surface that you can see into but you’re also looking at the sky above and the linking of land Given the fact that nearby settlements in this southern edge of the Po Plain were built with dikes and terraces and the region was agriculturally productive with much water management water was clearly important for all aspects of the builders’ lives “The collapse of the whole social and economic system in the area around 1200 B.C seems to occur because it becomes much drier,” Manning said Co-authors include senior research associate Carol Griggs ’77 and Cynthia Kocik ’14;

Manning spoke about that period on a Cornel University website “Nearly every time there’s a major change in social organization there tends often to be an episode of building what might be described as unnecessary monuments … an act of major place-making.” As the ancients had built the Noceto Vasca Votiva on a hilltop people would have had to drag the beams ups the hill Its construction involved a complex organization of social resources If Noceto Vasca Votiva were a reservoir or well No one has found evidence of channels leading out from the tank Excavators did find objects in the tank: stone The dedication of large amounts of community resources and lack of a utilitarian purpose suggests ritual use These clues all suggest that these tanks functioned as the site of a water ritual It is not clear if rainwater filled the tank or if people had to cart water up the hill The absence of channels raises the question of whether the water in the tank the Terramare had a belief system that gave meaning to its symbols none of the elements of that belief system have survived Another later culture that extended to the Po Valley The Iron Age Celts had a ritual practice of offering weapons and artworks to bodies of water While the Noceto Vasca Votiva trapped water in human construction the Iron Age Celts made offerings to “living” waters in bogs we have no way of knowing if these two rituals are connected The Wild Hunt is not responsible for links to external content Visit our The Wild Hunt subreddit!

Emilia Romagna with its flavors and the different facets of a region that reaches from the mountains to the sea passing through bodies of fresh water and plains narrated by the flair and delicacy of Roberto Monopoli What I bring to the table is a concept cuisine I like that what I want to convey and explain is understood in the dish made such by using a few ingredients balanced among themselves according to a precise logical thread and with a defined role: the accompanying ones are designed to enhance the main raw material." An a la carte choice and two tasting itineraries "Soqquadro" of eight courses or " Cogli l'attimo" of seven with new and different dishes every day," for an experience that certainly leaves a mark as with the "Candied tomatoes on 60-month Parmigiano Reggiano water and its flakes" where each tomato variety holds a different heart to be discovered; or in "Opssss LA PIADINA," which offers a Piadina made with tarragon and PGI shallot compote; or with the original spiciness and savoriness of "Carota Bbq," golden Parma onion crumble and brewer's yeast sauce which conceals a three-day-long realization: it is steamed Inevitable is the reference to Enrico Bartolini with the Risotto "E.VO" (Enrico in Evoluzione) a very apt reinterpretation of his "Risotto with red turnips" Parmigiano Reggiano and walnut essence to finish the dish at the service one can clearly see how much the presence of vegetables is indeed evident and how local and regional raw materials play a prominent role "It was very tricky to find the right raw materials I went looking for the trout farm in the mountains the fine Scardovari oysters from the Po Delta  - highlights Monopoli - And also the PGI Parma Golden Onion not counting PDOs such as Parmigiano Reggiano Prosciutto di Parma and so on in the really long list of excellences."

sponsors; Managing Director Corporate Stefano Perrone (with deputy Roberto Praticò); Sporting Director of the Men's First Team Mauro Pederzoli; Head Coach of the Men’s First Team Fabio Pecchia; Captain of the Men’s First Team Alessio Cracolici; a delegation from the Women’s First Team accompanied by Club Manager Martina Capelli (who introduced the guests to the facility); Team Manager a tour was organised to show the completed works which began last June and included the resurfacing of the synthetic pitch the renovation of the changing rooms and the construction of a building covering an area of nearly 500 square metres the following can now be found: a gymnasium and offices housing the directors and employees of the Women’s Sector The construction process was completed in January 2024 with branding work and after all areas had been highly equipped Parma Calcio’s Managing Director Sport: “We’re happy to be here today for the official opening of the Hub for our women’s teams I want to thank Noceto and the company that manages this sports centre They’ve given us the opportunity to use their space and have shown real willingness from conception to implementation Today marks the start of a project that will be carried out daily and is a good example of the exchange of values this is a collaboration that brings value to both clubs it has allowed us to dedicate an exclusive hub to the Women’s sector Through the investments that have been made Noceto has increased the value and prestige of the sports centre Women’s football is very important to us; this is among the largest investments that have been made in Italy to benefit the women’s game from the First Team to those playing in our Youth Sector they can train and play at a unique centre with modern facilities It has been designed and equipped with them in mind I want to thank all the people who have contributed to this project and I hope that lots of fans will turn up to support our female sides in the near future.” Mayor of Noceto: “It’s exciting to be here but this is something I’m really excited about It makes me realise that what we’ve done over time has borne fruit in our area Lots of young people have been able to enjoy this sports centre through Fraore-Noceto and Parma Calcio has slowly got involved with its youngsters and girls because he wants to invest in the city and the whole province I’m honoured that there is a president looking to provide important resources for football in the local area It’s pleasing to see Parma at such a high level I'd also like to thank the two coaches here today and further important steps will be taken with President Krause and my heart fills with joy when they come to the sports centre Sporting Director of the Women’s First Team: “It’s a great honour to present this sports centre for the Women’s Sector It’s exclusive for the entire Women’s Sector from the First Team through to grassroots level This sports centre will contribute to the development of women’s football in Parma The President was very happy with this initiative and the facility because it allows us to train from morning until night It’s not a small matter to have exclusive spaces to do this This can help us to get closer to the top Italian clubs in the women’s game It’s a big facility with two pitches; we play on one and train on the other We want to create a sense of belonging to this jersey uniting the Youth Sector with the First Team in the process The aim is to make youngsters dream by seeing older players train and play here I’m happy that the Men’s Sector is here today because we’re a family and share difficulties and joyous moments together.” Head Coach of the Women's First Team: “For a coach it’s a real source of pride to be able to train at such a modern and technologically advanced facility All the pitches are equipped with fixed cameras and we also have a drone that the Club provided us with to film training sessions we have GPS trackers and all the tools at hand to grow the Women’s Sector which shows just how much this sport is growing Youth Sector Head Federico Pangrazi as well as Club Manager Martina Capelli who has been doing some wonderful work since August the city of Terni embraced Ternana’s invitation to watch the six-pointer against Lazio with a thousand fans turning up to see the match and I expect lots of people will come along to support these girls THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORT WOMEN’S FOOTBALL Parma Calcio would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have been close to Gialloblù women’s football and who lend their support to improving women’s football in Italy Sign up for our daily Newsletter and stay up to date with all the latest news You are receiving this pop-up because this is the first time you are visiting our site You are using software which is blocking our advertisements (adblocker) we are relying on revenues from our banners So please disable your adblocker and reload the page to continue using this site.Thanks Sales of the 2023 harvest have ended at Il Noceto "This year we endured considerable losses due to the hail storms however we have progressed in both the MOF and big retail chain channels," explains director Michele Sciannimanica According to the official data of the US government exports of Californian walnuts to Italy increased by 61% between September 2023 and January 2024 Italy represents the second country in terms of volumes after Turkey Exports of shelled walnuts increased by 55% Ismea data reports that 2023 ended with a consumption of walnuts in shells of around 40 thousand tons Ismea actually created a video to promote nuts which is currently being showed on TV and which should lead to an increase in the penetration index Nielsen/Ismea data also reveal an acceleration in the sale of shelled products of over 14% in value "We started to produce and package shelled produce a few years ago precisely due to this slow and progressive market evolution which will shift sales towards shelled products All of this with excellent results despite the low yields determined by the shape of the shell Clients choose us especially for the flavor and freshness of the product In 2024 we also created a walnut paste that is currently being sold to the H&R channel suitable for both sweet and savory products." "Hazelnuts from the Veneto have also become part of our selection Our first tests showed consumers really appreciate their flavor which is probably due to the different composition of the soil in the Veneto plain We have also introduced almonds from the Veneto after a few companies experimented with them." the problem remains that of profitability as Ismea detected a drop in prices to 95 out of 100 in 2010 "The only solution is a review of European policies as they have made growing and producing food unprofitable due to regulations and supposed environmental benefits that have never been proven and which extra-EU countries are not following further damaging our economy due to the unfair competition."

We step away for a few days and hit it with a fresh palate.” The winemaker said what the uninitiated don’t know about Tuscan reds is that many are not made with Italian varietals but rather with cabernet sauvignon and merlot Naturally that’s not the case at Noceto because the winery specializes in Italian varietals with its staple sangiovese “The owners - Jim & Suzy Gullett - thought if they planted zinfandel and barbera it would just be another zinfandel vineyard,” Folena said “They liked the idea of a food friendly wine like sangiovese.” The winery produces ?10,000 cases a year with the lion’s share - 7,000 cases - sangiovese The winemaker said he learned the craft hands on rather than with formal training at a university But Folena said he has something invaluable Scott Harvey of Scott Harvey Wines was his first boss when he worked at Santino Wines in Amador County Folena was 16 when he made his foray into the world of wine “I discovered I liked what I was doing,” he said “Somewhere along the line a job became a career and I like it when people enjoy it at the end of the day.” Wine writer Peg Melnik can be reached at 707-521-5310 or peg.melnik@pressdemocrat.com Log in

bricks that forge it Jacob Kiplimo and Fancy Cherono were the victors at the 42nd edition of the Almond Blossom Cross Country in Albufeira on a sunny and windy Sunday (3) in what was the final meeting of the current IAAF Cross Country Permit series The competition also doubled as the European Champion Clubs Cup broke away on the last lap of the 9.730km course The 18-year-old Ugandan – who has also won the permit meetings in Atapuerca Alcobendas and Seville in recent months – was kept on his toes by Kenya’s Davis Kiplangat who crossed the line just a few strides behind The team contest was just as thrilling as Casone Noceto were vying for the title with Spanish club Atletismo Bikila Both teams had four counters in the top 20 but despite Kiplimo winning for the Italian club Atletismo Bikila took the overall title with 43 points to Casone Noceto’s 52 Sweden’s Robel Fsiha was a distant third Kiplimo explained afterwards that he had been experiencing some minor pain in his back “I had to manage my pace throughout the race so that I wouldn’t compromise my main goal the IAAF World Cross Country Championships,” he said “On the final lap I felt that I could increase my pace but Kiplangat showed that he is strong too,” added Kiplimo The 18-year-old won the world U20 cross-country title on home soil in Kampala two years ago Although he would be young enough to defend his title in Aarhus on 30 March he recently stated that he would contest the senior race in the Danish city The women’s race was a close battle between Kenyans Fancy Cherono and Daisy Kimeli Representing Turkish club

from Food is the central sacrament of family and of companionship its simplicity providing an unbroken link to ancestors and soil Its excellence proves that Italians really do have the best taste in the world That connection between Italians and their food has been cemented in popular culture Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino) in Goodfellas slices prison garlic with a razor blade; Joey Tribbiani in Friends loves nosh so much that he “doesn’t share food” take the cannoli,” is one of the most famous lines in 20th-century cinema (from The Godfather) and TV schedules are full of presenters such as Stanley Tucci drooling over Italian food But the last week has shaken such certainties. On 23 March, the Financial Times published an interview with the Italian food historian Alberto Grandi in which he claimed that many of the most cherished dishes in Italy aren’t what they seem: carbonara is an American recipe; Italian classics such as panettone and tiramisu are late 20th-century inventions and the most authentic parmesan cheese is now found in Wisconsin lovingly teased about “Italy’s often ludicrous attitude towards culinary purity” There was nothing particularly outrageous in the claims “the pizza effect” is a well-known sociological phenomenon whereby an export is then reimported into a country in a different guise What was more interesting was the outcry in Italy there was much clutching of pearls: with its ham and parmesan cheese the city rightly considers itself the capital of Italy’s “food valley” and the idea that one of its leading academics had called “bluff” made many Parmigiani choke on their tortelli Italians shop in a food market in Tuscany Photograph: AlamyThe outcry was partly economic self-interest The food and drink industry in Italy represents an estimated 25% of Italian GDP It’s a rare ray of hope in a tanking economy which is why Italy is fiercely protectionist of its food and drink products: the country has recognised a staggering 4,820 “traditional foods” and assiduously defends those products from what it considers counterfeits such as Croatian Prošek or German parmesan Italy has more protected wines than any country in Europe and the DOC attribution (designation of controlled origin) is so common it has now entered the Italian language as a word in itself But the article touched a raw nerve for much subtler reasons have maintained culinary authenticity: the fact that the country has 545 indigenous grape varieties (more than a third of the world’s total of about 1,368) demonstrates Italians’ ability to defy homogenisation and vinous miscegenation Italians’ rootedness and proud provincialism means that every village considers itself caput mundi complete with its own speciality dish and dialect You can tell precisely where somebody comes from by whether their cappelletti (buttons of stuffed pasta) have serrated or smooth edges or whether they call the fried pillowcases of dough torta fritta is about identity and territory and that makes life reassuringly predictable; I know what will be on offer in any Parma restaurant without having to open the menu in this extraordinarily conservative country Foodstuffs are sold through being backward-looking: adverts invariably have an aproned nonna (grandmother) with floury fingers rolling out the pasta Slogans tend to be along the lines of “still doing it the way we always have” Innovative or industrialised food is sneered at so this idea that many Italian staples might actually be 20th-century novelties or intercontinental fusions is alarming Next they’ll be saying that tomatoes and coffee aren’t originally from Italy either There’s also something about self-esteem going on Italians often have an inferiority complex two places where that sense of inadequacy is replaced by superiority: football and food Having not qualified for the last two World Cups So food is the last refuge of Italian pride and that can quickly bleed into “gastro-nationalism”: the defence of the native But in Italy they’re particularly skilled at crafting myths to live byMatteo Salvini acts as a tubby mascot for Italian produce constantly posting photos of himself munching and quaffing the Italian MEP Alessandra Mussolini posed for a photo swigging from the neck of an Italian wine bottle to protest against alcohol health warnings proposed by the EU The government also announced last week that it would ban the import or sale of synthetic meat This sort of foodie jingoism obviously appeals to the red-meat right but is nothing new: the most simple pizza – a margherita – is allegedly named after an Italian queen tomato and basil recreating the Italian flag where creativity is instinctive and incessant they’re skilled at crafting myths to live by: not just the lives of the saints but also the stories of national heroes such as Alberto da Giussano all of whose identities are merely educated guesses But the central story the country tells itself is that unless you slavishly follow culinary rules you’ll never be considered “DOC” His latest book is The Po: An Elegy for Italy’s Longest River Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Observer is now owned and operated by Tortoise Media consumers who appreciate the tang of aged Italian Parmesan cheese as an aperitif or atop their favorite pasta dish are stocking up ahead of next week’s tariff hike and as dairy producers in the two countries square off The Italian agricultural lobby Coldiretti said Friday that sales of both Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano aged cheeses with a distinctive granular quality that are defined by their territory of origin have skyrocketed in the United States by 220% since the higher tariffs were announced one week ago The new tariffs – up from $2.15 per kilogram (2.2 pounds) to around $6 a kilogram – take effect on Oct Parmesan cheese is on a long list of EU products targeted by the Trump administration for retaliatory tariffs approved by the World Trade Organization for illegal EU subsidies to aviation giant Airbus Coldiretti says American consumers as a result will pay over $45 a kilogram instead of $40 – which is expected to hurt sales in the U.S. the second-largest export market after France president of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese consortium says the tariffs threaten the economic health of 330 small dairy producers in the area around Parma and the 50,000 people who work in the production supply chain “I believe that … Europe has understood that this is a commercial attack,” Bertinelli told The Associated Press this week The consortium produces 3.7 million Parmesan wheels a year each weighing an average of 40 kilograms (88 pounds) and aged from more than 18 months to over 30 months Parmigiano Reggiano is produced in a defined territory from the Apennine mountains to the Po River from the milk of 250,000 cows raised in the same territory to earn its “protected designation origin,” a labor give to specialty foods from a specific geographic region National Milk Producers Federation has welcomed the tariffs on the Italian cheese producers have been improperly blocked from selling their “common name” Parmesan in Europe contributing to a $1.6 billion dairy trade deficit with the EU The milk producers’ lobby said the use of “geographic indication,” like Parmigiano Reggiano has been “abused” to limit competition of cheese imports from the United States into the EU It argues that Europe should allow the “high-quality American-made foods” using common names to compete next to the products certified with “protected origin” names vowed to protect Italian businesses against imports of what she sees as copy-cat products enough identity theft,” Bellanova said last week producers want to upend reality and use common names to sell their products in Europe If their project is to sell fake Parmesan or mozzarella in Europe we have to make clear it will never happen.” Sonoma County Sangiovese at $28 is muscular with generous fruit ????: This sangiovese's lively fruit takes center stage with high-toned notes of cherry and raspberry ????: A tasty red with bright fruit –– rhubarb and cherry –– toasty oak and cracked black pepper ????: Snappy red fruit coupled with clove and cinnamon makes this a zesty sangiovese An old cow farm about a mile outside of downtown Healdsburg had a hillside many thought was “unplantable.” But that didn’t stop the Orsi family from purchasing the property in 1990 and giving their Italian roots a chance to take hold in Sonoma County The unplantable hillside is behind our wine of the week winner - the Orsi Family 2016 Dry Creek Valley “We have been growing this particular block of sangiovese for almost 30 years our block of sangiovese is grown on a terraced hillside,” explained Mark Orsi “We’re basically shooting for a lighter-bodied wine with balanced acidity and fruit that has a lower alcohol content.” The Orsi sangiovese is available online at www.orsifamilyvineyards.com Other tasty sangioveses in the marketplace include: Noceto 2016 Amador County Sangiovese at $20; Castello Di Amorosa 2015 Napa Valley Sangiovese at $35; Broc Cellars’ Amore Rosso 2018 Mendocino Sangiovese at $28 and Davero’s AVIVO 2018 Sangiovese at $18 The Orsi family planted 10 Italian varietals in addition to sangiovese Most of the grapes it grows are sold to prestigious wineries like Sonoma County’s La Crema Kendall-Jackson and Rodney Strong Vineyards Orsi said the drought in 2016 contributed to its character “It created a higher skin to juice ratio during fermentation the result of drier soils and less juice in the berries,” he said Other aspects that made the wine a standout punching down by hand and racking the wine by gravity has been tending the hillside block of sangiovese for 16 years “Schultz enjoys the wardrobe flexibility of winemaking and the fact that his office is either in the cellar or a vineyard,” Orsi joked Schultz has a bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State in communications but sangiovese is the most popular grape planted in Italy,” Orsi said a versatile light-bodied red that goes well with many different food options.” One of the most challenging parts of making sangiovese The winery handpicks the fruit for the sangiovese and its other Italian varietals keeps a steady eye on all aspects of the enterprise He has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Santa Clara University and he joined the family business in July of 2018 “There is a long history of Italian culture in the Healdsburg area so knowing that through this wine we are continuing that culture and spirit is gratifying,” Orsi said “This is especially true considering both sides of the Orsi family have roots in
