  2. DO Calatayud Localización: La D. O. Calatayud está localizada al oeste de la provincia de Zaragoza, dentro de la histórica Comunidad de Aragón. Extensión:Posee una superficie de 8.000 has. de viñedo distribuidas en 43 municipios de la región natural del Valle del Ebro, en una zona enmarcada por las formaciones montañosas que se desprenden del macizo del Moncayo y que se organiza alrededor de una compleja red fluvial formada por los siguientes afluentes del Ebro: Jalón, Jiloca, Manubles, Mesa, Piedra y Ribota. La ciudad de Calatayud, situada a orillas del río Jalón, es la segunda de Aragón en importancia comercial. Origen: La historia vinícola de la comarca gira en torno a esta villa, que data de la Edad de Hierro y que los romanos, en su peregrinar hacia el interior de la península siguiendo el curso del Ebro, la elevaron a categoría de 'Augusta'. El cultivo de la vid en la zona se remonta a hace unos 2.200 años y fue probablemente introducido por los fenicios que, junto con a griegos y romanos, fijaron las bases para la elaboración vinícola. La primera referencia escrita sobre la gran calidad de los vinos de la Comarca se remonta al siglo I y su autor fue Marco Valerio Marcial, historiador y poeta que nació en la ciudad romana Augusta Bílbilis, hoy Calatayud. Los árabes mantuvieron allí un importante bastión estratégico, llegando a establecer el Castillo de Ayub ('Qual-at-Ayub'), de ahí su actual nombre. La importante plaza reunió a una próspera comunidad de judíos, musulmanes y cristianos, entre los cuales el consumo de vino fue fomentado y permisivo. Una vez que los musulmanes fueron desplazados, el Valle del Ebro supuso la vía natural de penetración hacía el oeste que conducía a Santiago. El establecimiento de múltiples iglesias y órdenes monásticas (entre las cuales destacó en la región la orden del Cister ubicada en el Monasterio de Piedra -siglo XII-, situado en las riberas del río homónimo) impulsaron el desarrollo de la viticultura de una manera importante. Los vinos, tanto de Calatayud, fueron objeto de regulación ya por el año 1696 cuando se promulgó un estatuto de la vid. Cuando la filoxera comenzaba a arrasar a finales del siglo XIX los viñedos franceses, los bilbilitanos (habitantes de Calatayud) proveyeron durante años vinos de alta graduación y color al país vecino.

  3. The Appellation of Origin Calatayud The Appellation of Origin Calatayud is located to the west of the province of Zaragoza, within the historical Community of Aragón. It has a surface of 8,000 ha. under vines, which are distributed between 43 municipalities of the natural region of the Ebro Valley, in a zone framed by the mountainous formations that come off the Moncayo Massif and spreads around a complex fluvial network formed by the following tributaries of the Ebro: Jalón, Jiloca, Manubles, Mesa, Piedra and Ribota. The city of Calatayud, located on the banks of the Jalón River, is Aragón's second largest in commercial importance. The winemaking history of the region develops around this villa, that dates from the Iron Age and which the Romans, in their peregrination towards the interior of the peninsula following the course of the Ebro, elevated it to the category of 'Augusta'. Grapevine cultivation in the area goes some 2,200 years back in time and probably was introduced by Phoenicians who, along with Greeks and Romans, set the foundations for winemaking. The first written reference to the great quality of the region's wines was made on the Ist century A.D. by renowned historian and poet Marcus Valerius Martialis, who was born in the Roman city of Augusta Bílbilis, today known as Calatayud. The Arabs maintained there an important strategic bastion, to the point of erecting the Castle of Ayub ('Qual-At-Ayub') to which the city owes its present name. This important crossroads location hosted a prosperous community made up of Jews, Muslims and Christians, among whom wine consumption was fomented and permissive. Once Muslims were displaced, the Ebro Valley was considered as the natural penetration route to the westerly bound Santiago (Saint James). The establishment of multiple churches and Monastic orders (of which the most renowned in the region was the Cistercian Order that settled on the 'Monasterio de Piedra' -XIIth century-, located on the banks of the homonymous river) impelled the development of viticulture in an important way. The wines, as much of Calatayud as of neighbouring Cariñena region, were object of regulation already by year 1696 when a statute of the grapevine was promulgated. For centuries Calatayud has been overshadowed and roped in by its more reputed Cariñena neighbour, enjoying its successes but also suffering from its errors. When phylloxera, at the end of the XIXth century XIX, began to devastate French vineyards, the two bordering areas commanded in name by Cariñena (which had achieved the status of denomination of origin back in 1932), provided for years wines with high graduation and colour to the neighbouring country.
