  • Final Vintage Report Fo Spain 2015
    Vintage report for Spain 2015 A hot summer influences the harvest for the Spanish wine regions Across Spain the weather pattern was remarkably similar with temperatures rising at the end of June, a very hot July and then relief for the vineyards as cooler weather came in August. Harvest dates were generally a little earlier than usual and most regions were able to bring in the fruit in good weather. Favourable weather generally kept vineyard diseases at bay in 2015 however intense heat brings different challenges and how the vines coped with it depended on many factors including altitude, vine age, exposure, soil type and grape variety. There is plenty of talk of high quality from this vintage – whites with intense flavours and aromas and reds with great complexity and good ageing potential. Industry forecast for Spain’s 2015 harvest: 40-42 million hl. ************************************************************************** This report of Spain’s 2015 harvest is divided into the following regional sections: 1. Galicia: Rías Baixas, Monterrei, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras 2. The Duero Valley and the north-west: Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda, Bierzo, Cigales and Tierra de Leόn 3. The north: Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country 4. Aragón: Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena and Somontano 5. North-central regions: La Mancha and Vinos de Madrid 6. Catalonia, Majorca and the south-east 7. Jerez Wines From Spain Page 1 Galicia DO Rías Baixas The growing season was far from typical in the coastal DO of Rías Baixas: the winter period saw less rain than in a typical year, spring followed suit and mild temperatures in the first two weeks of March resulted in an early budbreak starting in Condado do Tea and O Rosal.

Senior Theses. 277. https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/senior_theses/277 This Thesis is brought to you by the Honors College at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Thesis Summary The Spanish wine scene is incredibly diverse, and an immense number of different wines are made in the country. 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.

  • Valle Del Cinca Se Ubica En La Parte Oriental De La Provincia De Huesca, En La Frontera Con Cataluña
    El vino en la zona oriental de Huesca El Valle del Cinca se ubica en la parte oriental de la provincia de Huesca, en la frontera con Cataluña. La pro- ximidad de esta área geográfica con el Somontano de Barbastro ha sido decisiva para convertir el Valle del Cinca en una de las zonas productoras de vinos de la tierra más dinámicas de Aragón. La viticultura en el Valle del Cinca no es un fenómeno nuevo, existe una larga tradición en la zona, pero con el impulso que supuso la crea- ción de la indicación Vinos de la Tierra, la actividad se ha revitalizado, atrayendo incluso a grandes grupos empresariales de fuera, como es el caso de Bodegas Nuviana, que llegó de la mano de Codorniú. Actualmente, conviven las bodegas familiares de larga tradición con otras de reciente implantación. Este valle es adecuado para uvas de ciclo medio-alto, con una media de precipitación anual inferior a 300 mm y diferencias térmicas muy acusadas entre el día y la noche, que favorecen la correcta maduración de la uva. Su terreno, con suelos variados, facilita la obtención de vides con diferentes matices y la topografía suave facilita la mecanización moderna de cultivo y recolección de la vid. El río Cinca influye en los pagos, creando diferen- tes microclimas. La combinación de tradición y modernidad se traduce, en esta zona, en la coexistencia de varie- dades autóctonas de las comarcas del Cinca y del Somontano de Barbastro, con otras introducidas. Los Vinos de la Tierra A principios de este decenio se completa la regulación de la indicación Vinos de la Tierra, que viene a susti- tuir a la anterior, más genérica, de Vinos de mesa.

  • 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. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. 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.
