Spain - The largest wine growing territory in the world | World Wine Civilization

The Rioja region represents barely 5% of Spanish vineyards. Here, in this tiny wine making territory in the North of Spain about ten vineyard owners have decided to maintain the methods of the past. These winemakers are preserving centuries-old traditions and a local know-how on their small plots. Doing this, they have succeeded in setting themselves apart in the landscape of Iberian wines. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:21 - The "Wine Cemetery", a historical heritage of La Rioja ▷ 06:47 - History of viticulture in Spain ▷ 09:14 - Discoveries on the origins of viticulture ▷ 12:26 - Archeological research on soil ▷ 16:32 - Cerro de la Isa vineyard ▷ 20:18 - Trasegada, a delicate operation during the aging of the wine ▷ 23:28 - Preperations for the harvest ▷ 25:24 - Credits #wine #spain #drink #europe #environment #fruit #agriculture #nature #history ------- Watch all episodes of "Worldwide Wine Civilizations" here: https://bit.ly/wine_civilizations Subscribe to wocomoCOOK: https://goo.gl/9c1suR Follow wocomo on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- At the whim of history’s turbulent moments or extreme geographical conditions, Mankind, with all its vision and epic ambition, takes us off on a crazy adventure where wine mingles with art, archeology, geology, history and architecture.
