Varietals

Grape varieties can also modify the flavor, aroma and texture of the wine. Many are not even useful for its preparation, while others are selected to produce the most exquisite elixirs. Choosing the combination of the right strain with the type of terroir is essential to achieve the best results. The vine, Vitis vinifera, is a semi-woody and climbing plant that when left to grow freely can reach more than 30 m, but due to human action, pruning it annually, it is reduced to a small 1 m bush. Its precious fruit, the grape, is the raw material for the production of wine. The system of conduction of vine plants at height is called parral or vine. The land planted with vines is called a vineyard. Wine is the fermented alcoholic beverage from the juice of Vitis vinifera. Most of the grapes grown in the world come from the Vitis vinifera species, native to Mediterranean Europe and Central Asia. In smaller quantities they are produced in America and Asia. Although it is the queen variety in the production of juices and wines, it is also marketed as fresh table grapes, raisined and in food production.
