"Hogar de Vinos" is the podcast for wine lovers who crave the stories behind the bottle. In this episode, we travel back in time to uncork "Forgotten Wines," ancestral grape varieties that, like silent heroes, have resisted the passage of time, pests, and globalization.
Join us on a fascinating journey from the devastating phylloxera of the 19th century to the homogenization of the global market. Discover why many grape varieties fell into oblivion, and meet the "wine heroes"—visionary winemakers and researchers who are rescuing this invaluable genetic and cultural heritage.
We'll share inspiring examples of grapes that have made a comeback, like Bobal from Spain, País from Chile, and Alfrocheiro from Portugal. You'll learn why viticultural biodiversity is crucial for the future of wine and how these forgotten varieties offer us unparalleled authenticity and a tangible connection to the past.
Get ready for an episode that celebrates resilience, authenticity, and the richness of nature. We invite you to seek out these hidden gems and participate in an act of cultural preservation with every sip. Because, as we say at "Hogar de Vinos," wine is appreciated more when it's better understood!
