Main viticultural soils in Castilla – La Mancha (Spain)

Abstract

Castilla-La Mancha is the biggest vineyard in the world. Once similar soils have been identified in Castilla-La Mancha (soils chosen are very representative of vineyards areas in the region), the results obtained will be very useful in helping us to choose the right varieties, rootstock, cultivation techniques, canopy management, irrigation system, etc… In further studies this typology will help us in works of viticulture zonification in areas where this technique is improving now.

A survey on the rotundone content of 18 grape varieties sourced from a germplasm 

Rotundone, the pepper aroma compound, has been detected in wines made from a large number of grape varieties. However, given the fact that analyzed wines were sourced from different winegrowing regions and seasons, made using different winemaking techniques and at different scales, it remains difficult to assess the real variety potential to produce rotundone.

The importance of the physicochemical composition of wine on the score awarded in an official contest

The quality of wine is difficult to define. This is most certainly accredited to everyone´s different perception of quality. Some of the indicators of high-quality wines are color complexity and balance. Color is one of the most crucial attributes of quality, not only for the obvious implications for their perception but also because they are indicators of other aspects related to its aroma and taste.
