Resumo.
Show more [+] Less [-]English. The Sub-middle São Francisco River Valley is located in Northeast Brazil and stands out as an important fine wine produced region in the country, representing 15% of national production. The tropical semi-arid climate, with an annual average temperature of 26°C and rainfall of 550 mm, concentrated from January to April, allows the production of grapes throughout the year, making possible to harvest two to three crops annually. The Spanish variety Tempranillo is being cultivated since just over 4 years ago and is already the second in importance among red vines in the region. Studies of different combinations of rootstocks and cultivar clones have allowed to identify better materiais and to improve the quality and typicity ofthe tropical wines.
