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’

Monitoring of alcoholic fermentation: development of an applicable in-line system

Alcoholic fermentation plays a crucial role in the winemaking process. In addition to producing ethanol, it results in the formation of various secondary metabolites that significantly influence the wine’s characteristics.

An online training tool for wine professionals around the world: from responsible service to a sustainable consumption of wine

Most consumers enjoy wine in moderation, however, there remains a minority that may develop risky drinking habits, potentially harming themselves and those around them. For the last fifteen years, a prime objective of the wine in moderation programme has been to educate and empower the wine sector and now for the first time, a central education tool has been developed, integrating the topic of moderate consumption horizontally in all wine activities. The entire wine value chain – from the producer to the salesperson to the restaurant service staff – can contribute to reduce harmful consumption and encourage responsible drinking patterns.
