The Power of the Terroir: the Case Study of Prosecco Wine
This book draws on an eight-year study carried out in the DOCG Prosecco area of Italy, a wine region known worldwide. It is unique in the sense that it is based on one of the most comprehensive investigations into terroir zoning ever performed in Italy. By drawing attention to the complex interrelations between environmental and human factors that influence the growth and production of the Glera grape, the study illustrates the distinct correlation between a wine and its ‘terroir’. It shows that the morphology of the sites, the meso and microclimate, the soil, the grapevine planting density, the trellising system, the yield of the vineyard, and the vine water status in the summer lead to...
The Story of Prosecco Superiore
Why is Prosecco so popular? In the United States, Prosecco is now a household word. Throughout the world, Prosecco bottles sell at twice the rate of Champagne’s, even during a pandemic. Although the comparison with Champagne, the great sparkling wine of northern France often erroneously used as synonym of sparkling wine, is a common one, it is not immediately obvious why it should be. This story of Prosecco Superiore — sparkling Prosecco grown in two small hilly historic zones of the ancient Venetian Republic’s interior lands — shows them as uniquely Italian sparkling wines, tracing them to those hills at the second half of the 19th century, time of uprisings that would oust Napoleon...
The Landscapes of Italian Food
This book examines contemporary food systems in Italy, paying particular attention to the landscape, innovative local practices and local cultural history. It illustrates the utility of the value chain concept in navigating the complexities of comparative advantage in an advanced market setting. It establishes the connection between the landscape and individual food practices, and how they have responded to the commodification of the agri-food system, maintaining a distinctive local character while ensuring development and a healthy diet. It explores how community gardens are now a consolidated part of Italian urban experience, as well as the multiple policy frameworks which govern these act...
Tender Is the Flesh
Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Emèt – il dovere della verità
Helene Sanz, un’anziana diva del teatro tornata a vivere a Buenos Aires, viene a conoscenza di una sconcertante verità su Diego Tomasi, suo marito, vittima nel 1964 di un misterioso omicidio. Le ombre sulla vita privata dell’uomo s’intrecciano con un preciso momento storico dell’Argentina: quello durante il quale numerosi criminali di guerra della Germania nazista approdarono nel Paese. Il bisogno di rendere pubblica la verità su tutta la storia assale la donna. Per farlo, Helene si affida ad Alicia Hernandez, una giovane free lance esperta di teatro e sua devota ammiratrice, la quale accetta di buon grado l’opportunità di intervistarla. L’incontro tra le due si protrae per una notte intera, nel corso della quale le parole dell’anziana diva s’intrecciano con quelle della giornalista, portando alla luce il dolore di un vissuto che, seppur per ragioni diverse, riconduce ad una radice comune. Riuscirà Helene, attraverso l’aiuto di Alicia, a trasmettere il senso reale della sua verità?
El caño más bello del mundo
Escritores, músicos, filósofos, jugadores y entrenadores de Argentina, España, Colombia y Estados Unidos piensan en profundidad el juego: Indio Solari, Martín Kohan, Alejandro Dolina, Ariel Scher, Jorge Bermúdez, Ricardo Bochini y muchos más se proponen reflexionar en torno al juego del último diez del fútbol argentino. “El caño más bello del mundo parte de una premisa o, tal vez, una hipótesis: la existencia de una filosofía futbolera de Juan Román Riquelme. En todo caso, si la palabra filosofía, aun en su acepción más llana, más mundana, resultare demasiado grande para algo tan pueril como un juego con pelota, la premisa seguiría viva: existe un pensamiento futbolero de Riquelme”.
