Abstract

A general interest program on the world of wine-making in Catalonia: wine farmers explain their work from their vineyards, enologists in the wine-cellars offer their opinions and food experts at the table give their point of view on the subject. Each of the program’s twelve episodes focuses on a different Designation of Origin (DO)-labelled wine. The program also reviews the history of Catalan vineyards and the revolution that has taken place since 1980 in viticulture and wine production and consumption. The Costers del Segre (DO) wine-making region covers a broad area in the western part of Catalonia split up into six sub-regions. In addition to the large vineyards such as Raimat and Castell del Remei, smaller wine cooperatives and cellars have been established in the area with both native and non-native grape varieties and boasting a broad variety of wines.
