ITALIAN WINE
Italy is unique in that the entire
country, while diverse geographically,
is well suited for wine production.
Italian winemakers grow many
varieties of grapes in its centuries-
long tradition of winemaking. They
produce a wide variety of wines that
are recognized as some of the world's
finest. The wine-producing regions are
broken down into the Central,
Northwest, Northeast, and Southern
regions
SPANISH WINE
During the last few decades,
the wine industry has been
reborn.
01. RIOJA IS THE MOST WELL-KNOWN WINE-PRODUCING AREA
IN NORTHERN SPAIN. THE WINES OF THIS REGION FEATURE
THE TEMPRANILLO GRAPE AS WELL AS GARANCHA,
MAZUELO, AND GRACIANO IN LESSER AMOUNTS. NEW
SPANISH WINEMAKERS OF RIOJA ARE AGING IN OAK AND ARE
SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE VARIETIES ON THE MARKET.
WHILE THE RED WINES OF THIS REGION ARE BOLD AND SPICY
THE WHITE WINES PRODUCED ARE FRUITY AND GENERALLY
LOW PRICED
02. THE REGION OF CATALONIA IN NORTHERN
SPAIN IS KNOWN FOR CAVA. CAVA IS
SPARKLING WINE OR ROSÉ WINE MADE
USING THE CHAMPAGNE METHOD.
03. LA MANCHA IS CENTRAL SPAIN'S
MOST IMPORTANT REGION. THE
WINEMAKERS OF LA MANCHA
PRIMARILY USES THE TEMPRANILLO
GRAPE AND THE RESULTING WINES
ARE INEXPENSIVE AND
STRAIGHTFORWARD
04. SOUTHERN SPAIN AND THE REGION OF ANDALUCÍA ARE NOTABLE FOR
SHERRY. SHERRY IS PRODUCED FROM THE PALOMINO GRAPE WHICH IS
GROWN IN JEREZ. THE WINE IS FORTIFIED BY ADDING A NEUTRAL BRANDY
TO THE WINE. SHERRY IS DIVIDED INTO THREE STYLES AND THESE TERMS
REFER TO THE PROCESS USED IN AGING THE SHERRY. THEY ARE FINO,
AMONTILLADO, AND OLOROSO. THE FINO SHERRIES ARE PROTECTED
FROM OXYGEN WHICH PROTECTS ITS GOLDEN COLOR. OLOROSO'S ARE
EXPOSED TO OXYGEN WHICH PRODUCES BROWN COLORING IN THE
SHERRY. THE AMONTILLADOS ARE PROTECTED WHILE YOUNG THEN
EXPOSED TO OXYGEN AS THEY AGE WHICH PRODUCES A SHERRY WITH AN
AMBER COLOR. SHERRIES CAN HAVE HIGH ALCOHOL CONTENT AND
RANGE FROM DRY TO SWEET.
GERMAN WINE
German wines are classified differently
from their European counterparts in
that they do not focus on the region of
origin. Most often, their wine labels list
a grape variety rather than a region.
Some wines, usually of lower quality,
are labeled with a style like the widely
recognized Liebfraumilch wine.
Grape varieties used to produce
German wines are Riesling,
Gewürztraminer, Müller- Thurgau, and
for reds Spätburgunder. Because of
Germany's cool climate, they produce
many white wines that range from
crisp to sweet.
