Marisa Fontana is a researcher, passionate, winemaker and expert of vineyards and local wines. A native of the Romagna, he dedicates his life to the recovery of varieties of ancient local tradition, both from the point of view of agronomic and oenological, providing suggestions to farmers and wineries for the cultivation of grapes and their transformation into unique wines. With his help, together with the Province of Parma, you are able to enter grape varieties almost disappeared inside of the National Register of Vine Varieties: the Malvasia Casalini and Termarina white (Passeretta). The work in recent years has led to the identification and characterization of these grapes so special as to not be very productive, and for this reason were abandoned. The Termarina (both the type of grape red and white) it is a grape small grape without seeds, very sugary and tasty, so much so, that in the past were very much appreciated also as table grapes and drying. The Malvasia Casalini, or Malvasia Smell, was cultivated with Parma even before the Aromatic Malvasia di Candia. Grape renowned in the past for its perfume and aroma (from which the name of the Smell), it was supplanted just because they are not productive. Marisa deals with the study and enhancement of these ancient local vines in the hope that some winegrower will want to "adopt" them to relaunch them in the world of enology. A different wine, then, for each Italian country. But not only because it is made from different grapes, but also because the ground, the climate and the cellarman are different. A heritage of biodiversity that makes Italy the most biodiverse country in the world.
