    Abadal Picapoll 2008 Winery: Bodegas Masies D’Avinyo Region: Pla de Bages D.O. Grapes: 100% Picapoll Winery: Masies D’Avinyo is leading the charge of quality wine production from this, one of the oldest vine growing regions in the world, el Bages, named for Bacchus the Roman god of wine. The vines are cultivated on carefully structured terraces, influenced by a Continental- Mediterranean climate, with low rainfall. This leads to highly structured wines that maintain a freshness and delicacy rarely found in such rich wines. Vineyards are planted with native and French grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Mando and Picapoll. A strong technical background is used in vineyard management, for example, specific total leaf area per mass of grapes to assure ripeness. This is combined with a detailed interaction with each vintage. In warm vintages, new oak is purchased with lower levels of toast, in cooler vintages barrels with higher levels of toast are used. A combination of French, Hungarian and American oak is used in aging the wines. Wine: This wine issues from a regeneration of indigenous and autochthonous grapes lead by Masies d’Avinyo in Pla de Bages. Picapoll, Trepat, Sumoll and other local grapes are being replanted or grafted to existing root- stocks. While often confused with Picpoul, this grape has been grown in the area since Roman times, being referenced in the writings of Pliny the Elder. Picapoll berries are small, oval and thick-skinned; though there are larger berried clones used as a table grape. The grape requires a lot of attention in the vineyard as bunches tend to grow smaller, “shoulder” clusters which need to be pruned off for proper ripening.

    Bovale 2014 Winery: Isaac Fernandez Seleccion Region: Utiel-Requena D.O. Grapes: 100% Bobal Winery: Isaac Fernandez Selection is the newest venture of the famous winemaker, Isaac Fernandez, who has spent more than 25 years producing some of the best wines in Northern Spain. He seeks to respect the identity of each vineyard and to nurture wines that balance power, finesse and purity with the capacity to age. power, finesse and purity with the capacity to age. Wine: The name Bovale comes from the Latin word for shape of the Bobal grape bunch, similar to a bull’s head. Bobal is known to have one of the highest levels of anthocyanin (col- or) of any red wine grape. This wine is produced from vines aged 60 years and older. They are planted to mainly flat vineyards, at high elevations with the vines growing in brown limestone and clay soils. Vines are trained to wires to allow optimal control of ripening. Grapes were hand harvested and brought to the winery. After destemming the grapes underwent alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation the wine was aged for 6 months in a combination of 70% French oak and 30% American oak barrels. Reviews: Silver Medal 3rd Asia Wine Trophy, Daejeon Korea “Opaque ruby. Hints of mocha and licorice emerge slowly, complementing smoky, spicy ripe blackber- ry and mulberry aromas. The palate presents ripe dark berry and floral pastille flavors, with a peppery nuance adding back-end lift and cut. Plush but lively, the finish has good thrust and smooth, easygoing tannins.

  • 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.

  • Enterprise Cooperatives: Growth Or Fragmentation?*
    Valeurs coopératives et mondialisation ENTERPRISE COOPERATIVES: GROWTH OR FRAGMENTATION?* By Michel Auvolat** Enterprise cooperatives have grown significantly not just in agriculture but also in the areas of retailing, fisheries and, to a lesser extent, small family businesses and haulage. The history of this development is exam- ined by the author by sector. Based on a matrix of communities of local businesses, cooperatives first appeared as a means of defense against economic changes. A part of the movement then built powerful national— and with more difficulty—international groups. The opening up to out- side investment, the reluctance of certain circles to embrace the cooperative image, and the inappropriateness of the cooperative statute to certain kinds of group formations have encouraged adopting diversified legal forms. However, recent developments also reflect the concern for main- *Recma, no. 291, February 2004. **GATE, CNRS. taining the objective of defending independent firms that have strong Email: [email protected]. local links. ● ollective action by enterprises can take various forms ranging from the development of informal cooperative networks to trade associ- C ations. The distinction between different organizational set-ups for collective action is subtle and is often based on a matrix of associations that defend business interests and provide services. Cooperatives that pool together purely economic functions have been created with features that are specific to the economic history of each sector. This development has been followed by the formulation of specific constitutions that take into account the particular characteristics of these sectors. Up until now, there has been little interest in understanding enterprise cooperatives glob- ally.
