Special wine production
(objectives)
The course is based on two integrated parts wich, respectively, are referred to the learning notions of oenological analysis, and to the knowledge of the oenological procedures known as 'special vinifications'. The firstone didactic block is addressed to give to the students basic knowledges, as theoretical and practical way, on the main analytical determinations, based on official and legal protocols, for principal enological measurements on winegrapes, musts and wines. Otherwise, the secondone modulus is aimed at treating vinifications of dehydrated/withered winegrapes (for both sweet or dry wines production); botrytized wines, fortified and sparkling wine production. During the course and at the end of it, the student will acquire: 1) knowledge and understanding; 2) applying knowledge and understanding; 3) making judgements; 4) communication skills; 5) communication skills
