| dc.description.abstract | According to a physiocrat memoirist of the late eighteenth century, "... the vines to be panted should not be from a single species but from different ones ...; and will be planted more of those that are of better quality." This recommendation was intended to induce farmers to plant a number of grape varieties, as diverse as possible, but within a reasonable numerical criterion. So they would be safe from the variation of annual productivity of different varieties, since one could produce more and others little or nothing. However, this plantation and controlled choice of varieties, was not always carried out. Documentary sources report that there was "... great abuse so the choice of land, as in planting a very excessive number of different varieties." In the province of “Beira” in Lamego (NE of Portugal), there were 67 varieties of grapes, "29 white and 18 black" and in Tras-os-Montes about 30, among white and red. Thus, this implied that at the harvest time some grapes were passed, other rotten and others still without getting to its perfect state of "maturity". It is considered, therefore, that this mix is reflected in the type of wine that the same grapes were to produce and that was variable from place to place within the same region It was considered therefore that this mixture would be reflected on the type of wine that the same grapes were to produce and that was variable from place to place within the same region. Production and varied wine because the grapes were "from many varieties" which adapted better or worse, to the land where they were planted. There were vines which gave best in “hot land”, while others prefer the “cold land”. Here is a lot of varieties planted in the region in the sixteenth century: “bastardo, trincadente, agudelho, Álvaro de Sousa (Malvasia), castelão, lourelo, verdelho preto, verdelho branco, donzelinho, terrantês, abelhal, burral, samarrinho tinto, ferral, ceitão, mourisco e folgazão”. A considerable multiplicity that included wine grapes, white and red, and table grapes. According to the classical author (Palladius) "... the farmer or want to have grapes to eat, or to produce wine; in the first case should plant vines that produce large berries grapes, and hard, as are ... “the grapes “ferais” the “ceitãs”, or “moscatel de Jesus”, the “dedo de dama”, and more. In the latter case, to choose the vines that give grapes with thin skin, and tasty, and especially those to whom the flower fall very first than the other. " So, would be necessary to end the referred mixtures of varieties to "improve the goodness of the wines" and the farmers should meet the quality of the grapes to harvest the best wines. According to information from the eighteenth century, "The grapes called Alvarelhão, pé agudo preto, tinta-cão, e sousão make a strong wine, full-bodied, of good taste; the “bastardo” and Donzelinho, together in small quantities with the other varieties sweeten and soften the harshness of Alvarelhão and Sousão, and increase them the softness of the aroma. " At this time, including the Douro region, there was a strong disbelief of some varieties which would assume later a great importance, not only in the region but in rest of Portugal, and even in the world. We refer to the varieties "... tourigo, tintacastelão, tinta-borraçal and others so-called thick-red, which regularly fruit in abundance, but the wine which makes them is weak and tasteless, and consequently with less duration". The objective of this study is the identification of the varieties of the Tras-os-Montes region, carry out its local territorial delimitation, in different ages, and make progress in identifying synonyms. Subsequently, will be performed a comparability study in the use of grape varieties in the same places, between the historical data and the remaining (very) old vineyards. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | Según un memorialista fisiócrata de finales del siglo XVIII, “… as baceleiras que houverem de plantar não devem ser de uma só espécie, mas de diferentes, …; e se plantarão mais daquelas que forem de melhor qualidade;” Esta recomendación tiene por objetivo inducir a los agricultores a plantar un conjunto de variedades de uva, tan diversificada cuanto fuese posible, pero dentro de un criterio numérico razonable. Así quedarían a salvo las diferentes productividades anuales de las diversas variedades dado que unas podrán producir mucho y otras poco o nada. No obstante, esta plantación y elección controlada de variedades, no siempre era llevada a cabo. Las fuentes documentales que había refieren “… grande abuso assim na escolha do terreno, como em plantar um número muito excessivo de diferentes espécies de cepas”. En la província de la Beira, em Lamego, havia 67 variedades de uva, “29 brancas e 18 pretas” y en Trás-os-Montes cerca de 30, entre blancas y tintas. De aquí salía que en época de vendimia algunas uvas se encontraban pasadas, otras podridas y otras todavía sin estar en perfecto estado de “madureza”. Entonces, se consideraba que esta mezcla repercutía en el tipo de vino que las mismas uvas podían producir y que era variable de lugar en lugar, dentro de una misma región. Producción y vinos variados, porque las uvas eran “de muitas castas” que se adaptaban, mejor o peor, a los terrenos donde estaban plantadas. Había vides que producían mejor en tierra caliente, al contrario que otras que preferían tierra fría. En esto, un lote de variedades plantadas en la región, en el siglo XVI: “bastardo, trincadente, agudelho, Álvaro de Sousa (Malvasia), castelão, lourelo, verdelho preto, verdelho branco, donzelinho, terrantês, abelhal, burral, samarrinho tinto, ferral, ceitão, mourisco e folgazão”. Multiplicidad apreciable que incluía uvas para vino, blancas y tintas, y de mesa, para consumir como fruta. En la opinión del autor clásico (Paládio) “… o lavrador ou pretende ter uvas para comer, ou para vinho; no primeiro caso deve plantar baceleiras que produzam uvas de bagos grandes, e duros, como são … as uvas ferais, as ceitãs, o moscatel de Jesus, o dedo de dama, e outras mais. No segundo caso, deve escolher a videiras que dão uvas de pele delgada, e saborosas, e muito principalmente aquelas, a quem a flor cair muito primeiro, que as outras”. Tendríamos, pues, que terminar con las mezclas referidas para “aperfeiçoar a bondade dos vinhos” y los labradores deberían atender a la calidad de las uvas, para conseguir los mejores vinos. Ayudándonos, todavía, de informaciones del siglo XVIII “As uvas chamadas alvarelhão, pé agudo preto, tinta-cão, e sousão fazem um vinho forte, coberto, encorpado, de bom sabor; o bastardo e donzelinho, juntos às outras qualidades em pequenas quantidades adoçam e suavizam a aspereza do alvarelhão e do sousão, e lhes aumentam a suavidade do cheiro”. En esta altura, incluyendo una región del Duero, había una fuerte desconfianza en relación a algunas variedades que irían, más tarde, a asumir gran importancia, no solo en la región, sino también en Portugal entero, y hasta en el mundo. Nos referimos a las variedades “… das uvas chamadas tourigo, tinta-castelão, tinta-borraçal e outras chamadas tintas-grossas, que regularmente frutificam com muita abundância, mas o vinho que se faz delas é fraco, e insípido, e consequentemente de menos duração”. El objetivo de este trabajo es la identificación de las variedades de la región a partir de la investigación documental, procediendo a su delimitación territorial local, en las diversas épocas y proceder en la identificación de las sinonimias. Posteriormente, se procede a un ejercicio de comparabilidad en el uso de las variedades, en los mismos locales, entre los datos históricos y las viñas (muy) viejas aún existentes. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | Selon um mémorialiste du XVIIIe siècle, “… les vides qui aurrait d' être plantés ne seront que d' une varièté, mais de plusieurs, …; et se planteront en plus celles que furent de mieux qualité” Cette récomendation avait pour objectif sensibiliser les agriculteurs pour la plantation d' un ensemble de variètés tant diversifié que possible, mais selon un critère numérique raisonnable. On protégeai les diférants produtivités de plusieurs variètés en que quelques d' elles avaient un gros produit et des autres presque rien. Les sources documentales nous informent qu' il y avait un grand abus dans la choix du terrain et dans le numéro excessif des variaétés planteés. À la province de de Beira il y avait 67 variètés du raisin, 29 blancs et 18 rouges et en Trás-os-Montes, 30, blancs et rouges. En conséquence, au temps de vendange quelques d' eles se trouvaint passes, des autres détériorés et des autressans atteindre son parfait stade de maturation. Cette misture conditionnait le vin à produir qui était variable selon le village. Il y avait des vides qui produisait mieux en regions chauds et des autres qui préféraint les lieux froids. Voilà un ensemble de variètés de la region au XVIe siècle: : “bastardo, trincadente, agudelho, Álvaro de Sousa (Malvasia), castelão, lourelo, verdelho preto, verdelho branco, donzelinho, terrantês, abelhal, burral, samarrinho tinto, ferral, ceitão, mourisco e folgazão”. Multiplicité apréciable qui incluait des raisins de table pour la consommation comme fruit et des raisins à vin, blancs et rouges. Il fallait finir avec les mistures et amméliorer les vins. Les viticulteurs devraint atteindre à la qualité des raisins pour fabriquer bons vins. À ce moment-là il y avait des variètés que plus tard viendront três importantes mais que les viticulteurs résistaint à son usage. Les objéctifs du travail est lídentification des variètés de cette région en utilisant les sources documentaux, faire la délémitation de ses térroirs en diverses époques et travailler en les sinonimes. On pense, aussi, de faire la comparaison entre passé et présent. | pt_PT |
