Full and textured on the palate and a firm mineral finish. Terlaner Classico 2015, Alto Adige 44 Cantina Terlano after over 100 years of experience have found the perfect balance of mineral rich soils, old vines, low yields and rigourous grape selection.

    Vega-Sicilia-DI-2018-Np.Pdf

    www.vntgimports.com Vega Sicilia needs no introduction and is considered, by most, to be one of the top ten wineries in the world. They cater to a very select clientele in 85 countries, and even then only exports 40 percent of its limited production of 130,000 bottles a year. The other 60 percent is sold in Spain. The jewel in the winery’s crown, Vega Sicilia Unico, takes 10 years to produce. The Valbuena is not a second wine. Rather, it is a different expression that has aged for less time, and will drink sooner, than Unico. It is a wine that comes from the younger vines and, it is mostly made with the varieties of Tempranillo and Merlot, rather than Cabernet Sauvignon. Bodegas Alión was formed in 1986 as a winery which would be run independently to its big brother, the great Vega Sicilia. This 85-hectare wine estate was founded by the Álvarez family to provide a modern expression of Ribera del Duero wine. 35 hectares of the estate is located around the winery, with a further 50 hectares dedicated to Alión within the historic Vega Sicilia vineyards. Unlike Vega Sicilia, where we find a merging of the traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Alión is made using state-of-the-art equipment. Forward and uncompromising, these are wines with impressive frames and show an alternative side of Tinto Fino. Pintia realizes the desire of the Álvarez family to make the best Toro wine, a designation that gives wines body, exoticism, an explosion of aromas, and a modern personality and character.

    Tasting Notes

    TASTING NOTES 2013 DESCRIPTION Bodegas Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia is a result of the admiration that two great names in the world of wine feel for the exceptional wine region of Rioja. Incomparable in its calcareous-clay soils, incomparable in its unique mixed climate of Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean currents, incomparable in the personality of its grapes and Tempranillo wines and incomparable in its tenacity and passion of its people. Bodegas Benjamín de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia is under the Qualified Appellation of Origen Rioja (DOCa). Its wines are a result of a meticulous selection within 130 high quality “pagos” (vineyard), acquired in the last 13 years and located on the slopes of the Cantabria Mountain Range. 90 hectares are spread along high terraces in the Municipality of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida, Ábalos and El Villar. Macán Clásico represents freshness, kindness, gentleness. It is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes with selection on the field and at the winery. Part of its malolactic fermentation was performed in barrels. Its ageing process reaches 12 months in extra-fine French oak barrels, new and one use, before obtaining roundness in bottle for over 18 months. Macán Clásico is the pure expression of Rioja Tempranillo grapes with a modern production reinforcing its elegance and a careful ageing to enhance its fineness. 2013 was a complex year where extensive selection was carried out. Sober vintage; fresh, pleasant and elegant. GENERAL INFORMATION Alcohol by volume 14 % Variety Tempranillo Average age of vineyard 40 years 90 ha (split between Samaniego, Baños de Ebro, Labastida, Ábalos, Vineyard surface area El Villar and San Vicente de la Sonsierra) Planting density 3,333 plants/ha Altitude 500 m 2013 VINEYARD CYCLE Mild winter with rain throughout the entire season.
  • An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain

    An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain

    beverages Review An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain Antonietta Baiano Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, degli Alimenti e dell’Ambiente, University of Foggia, Via Napoli, 25, 71122 Foggia, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-881-589249 Abstract: Despite the great relevance of sustainable development, the absence of a shared approach to sustainable vitiviniculture is evident. This review aimed to investigate sustainability along the entire wine chain, from primary production to the finished wine, with specific attention to three key dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, and economic) and relating measures. Therefore, it was decided to: investigate the ways in which sustainability is applied in the various stages of the production chain (wine growing, wineries, distribution chain, and waste management); analyse the regulations in force throughout the world and the main labelling systems; provide numerical information on sustainable grapes and wines; study the objective quality of sustainable wines and that perceived by consumers, considering that it affects their willingness to pay. The research highlighted that rules and regulations on organic production of grapes and wines are flanked by several certification schemes and labelling systems. Although sustainable wines represent a niche in the market, in recent years, there has been an increase in vineyards conducted with sustainable (mainly organic and biodynamic) methods, and a consequent increase in the production of sustainable wines both in traditional and emerging producing countries. Although (or perhaps precisely for this reason) no significant differences in quality are found among sustainable and conventional wines, consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainably produced wines. This finding should encourage wineries to both put in place environmental activities and intensify their communication.
  • Ribera Del Duero

    Ribera Del Duero

    VINEYARDS OF THE WORLD Ribera del Duero ASTILLA Y LEÓN (usually known as Castile in English) is the largest autonomous region in Spain, C occupying one fifth of the total area—but it is rel- atively sparsely populated. With its rolling terrain and the occasional plateau, mostly used for production of grain crops and sheep grazing, Castile has many similarities with the Australian landscape. There are five Denominación de Origen (DO) wine regions in Castile, namely Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Bierzo, Toro and Cigalas. Ribera del Duero is located in the upper valley of the River Duero which is perhaps better known by its Portugese name, the Douro. The name Ribera del Duero literally means the banks of the river Duero. The region was only awarded DO status in 1982 even though the famous estate of Vega Sicilia (located near Valbuena de Duero at the western end of the region) has been known for its high qual- ity wines since the mid 19th century. Significant expansion in both vineyard area and the number of wine estates has occurred since the late 1980s, and today this DO is challeng- ing the dominance of Rioja in the Spanish red wine market. At present there are 15,000 ha of vineyards but the average PETER DRY vineyard size is less than 1 ha. In the past, most of the fruit ended up in cooperatives for the production of cheap rosé. Now there are more than 50 wine estates with an emphasis on Vineyards of the World quality red wine production. The oldest vineyards are found in the west of the region near Peñafiel but much of the new development is in the east near Aranda de Duero.
