  • Premium Wine Club
    PREMIUM WINE CLUB March 2020 2015 Portal del Priorat Gotes Blanques Priorat, Spain Tiny and entirely composed of craggy, jagged and deeply terraced vineyards, Priorat is a Catalan wine-producing region that was virtually abandoned until the early 1990s. Its renaissance came with the arrival of one man, René Barbier, who recognized the region’s forgotten potential. He banded with five friends to create five “Clos” in the village of Gratallops. Their aim was to revive some of Priorat’s ancient Carignan vines, as well as to plant new—mainly French—varieties. These winemakers were technically skilled, well-trained and locally inspired; not surprisingly, their results were a far cry from the few rustic and overly fermented wines already produced. This movement escalated Priorat’s popularity for a few reasons. Its new wines were modern and made with well-recognized varieties, namely old Carignan and Grenache blended with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. When the demand arrived, scarcity commanded higher prices and as the region discovered its new acclaim, investors came running from near and far. Within ten years, the area under vine practi- cally doubled. One of Catalonia’s emerging superstars, Alfredo Arribas was a nationally renowned architect before shifting his focus to farming and winemaking fifteen years ago. He is known for making some of the most elegant wines in Priorat and Montsant. Alfredo Arribas’ Portal del Priorat estate is composed of about 150 acres in Priorat and 50 acres in Southern Montsant. Many of these vines are on original rootstock and pushing 100 years in age. Gotes translates to “droplets” in Catalan, and as you would expect, like droplets, these wines are all about freshness.

In the nineteenth century, Catalan viticultural produce was exported mainly to Latin America in exchange for the importation of cotton. After the phylloxera crisis, viticulture experienced difficulty in internationalisation until the specialisation in cava, a sparkling wine made in the same way as champagne, kept the wine production going. In the twenty-first century, the specialisation in quality wines is also related to the export to international markets. In memory of Francesc Valls Junyent, who left us too early, when he was contributing his best work as a historian. Catalonia forms part of the Mediterranean basin and, as such, has produced and exported wine since ancient times.

Likewise, Spain is incredibly rich in culture, with a wide array of languages, histories, cultures, and cuisines found throughout the nation. The sheer number and variety of Spanish wines and the incredible variety of cultures found in Spain may be daunting to the uninitiated. Thus, a guide to Spanish wine and culture, which not only details the two but links them, as well, may prove very helpful to the Spanish wine newcomer or perhaps even a sommelier. This thesis-guide was compiled through the research of the various Denominaciones de Origen of Spain, the history of Spain, the regions of Spain and their individual histories and cultures, and, of course, the many, many wines of Spain.

    ABSTRACT Penedes is a small area near the city of Barcelona. In addition, Penedes is the capital of the Catalan sparkling wine called: cava. Wine tourism plays a key role in this county, specifically the cava field. To be able to understand the importance of wine tourism in this region it is crucial to recognize why the cellars of Penedes enter the tourism sector. This exploratory investigation has three objectives. First, providing a better understanding of the motivations of the cava cellars of Penedes to open to the public. Second, present the most noticeable costs that companies have, when enabling visits. Finally, expose how beneficial is for the firms to get into the tourism industry. For this, the study has been carried out through surveys that were sent to cava professionals in the area of Penedes. Previous literature, which reviews the effects and findings of this study, have been used during the process. Besides, the research has been conducted using a quantitative methodology. This thesis is aimed at cava related businesses as it offers valuable knowledge that will help them cope with making a decision on whether launching the brand into the tourism market or not. Keywords: cava, Penedes, wine tourism, cellars, wineries, motivations, costs, benefits. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to write a few sentences to express our sincere acknowledgments to all those people who have helped us carry out and complete this thesis. First and foremost, thanks to Professor Emili Valdero, our tutor for this project. In the process of realization, he gave us advice, ideas, and support which have been very helpful to carry out the work.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today.

From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
