Characterization of varieties named ‘Caiño’ cultivated from Northwest of Spain

Abstract

The ‘Caiño’ cultivar was cultivated in Galicia (Northwestern Spain) before the invasion of grape phylloxera. Genetic diversity from this cultivar have been described and considered as originating in Galicia, ‘Caiño Tinto’, ‘Caiño Bravo’, ‘Caiño Redondo’, ‘Caiño Longo’ and ‘Caiño Blanco’. ‘Caiño’ was recommended as a principal cultivar for new plantations in the ‘Ribeiro’ Designation of Origin (D.O.) due to its potential for producing quality wines. Four accessions were collected from the Gemplasm Bank of Grapevines in the EVEGA (Estación de Viticultura y Enología de Galicia), Xunta de Galicia. These accessions have been studied using ampelography, ampelometry, agronomic characters. Microsatellites were selected, as recommended, to distinguish grapevine cultivars and profiles were compared with previous results. Six microsatellite primers and morphological characteristics differentiated every accession and they may therefore be considered as different cultivars. Two cultivars from the EVEGA presented genotypes that had not been reported previously: ‘Caiño Longo-EVEGA’ and ‘Caiño da Terra’

During 1982 started our wine growing project at the Puntalarga Hill, between 2500 and 2600 meters a.s.l.: 5.78 ºN, 72.98 ºW. Pinot noir, white Riesling and Riesling x Silvaner crossings are the most planted grapevines. Since 1984 research and development activities are carried out on pertinent subjects.

Terroir characterization from cv. Merlot and Sauvignon plots follow-up within the scope of wine-production : “Vins de Pays Charentais” in the Cognac eaux-de-vie vineyard area

Dans les études des terroirs, il est souvent délicat d’établir des zonages et de mesurer les effets de l’environnement sur les vins. Avec plus d’un million d’hectares dans l’aire d’appellation délimitée, le terroir du célèbre vignoble de Cognac est bien connu pour ces eaux-de-vie et ainsi divisé en 6 crus.

Drought tolerance of varieties in semi-arid areas: can the behavior of Tempranillo be improved by varieties of its own lineage?

Tempranillo is the most widely grown red grapevine variety in Spain, currently representing 42% of the total number of red varieties and 21% of the total vineyard area. Due to the economic importance that this variety represents in Spanish viticulture, in some areas where it is traditionally grown, there is a special concern about the viability of the future growing of this variety is being compromised by the climate change effects.
