Albariño Rías Baixas: de la tradición al mundo

Albariño Rías Baixas: from tradition to the world, is the first part of a documentary trilogy that portrays the ongoing Galician wine revolution. This first part describes the history and current situation of Albariño, a traditionally minoritarian and scarcely known wine, which has gained worldwide acclaim. However, the creation of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin and the industrialization of wine have raised controversies concerning the typicity of albariño, with different actors claiming for the elaboration of alternative and authentic wines reflecting terroir. Some of the most acclaimed wineries and best-known people, from sommeliers to winemakers and journalists, tell us this story of success, emotion - and wine.
