Abstract

The Knjazevac wine-growing region is a typical B (WIN) viticulture zone with warm (HI) and humid (DI) climate classes. With higher elevation terrains, characteristics of the relief between the Timok River valley and surrounding mountains, vertisol as type of soil, as well as CI + 2 Cold nights index etc., the quality and characteristics of wine in this region are greatly influenced by some parameters of Terroir. Wine producers from this wine-growing region recognized these specificities, founded a representative association and registered the protected designation of origin (PDO) in the new Serbian PDO wine system, established and harmonized to the EU legislation through the results of the Twinning Project SR08IBAG02 ,,Capacity building and technical support for the renewal of viticulture zoning and for the system of designation for wine with geographical indications in Serbia" (2011/2013). This paper presents the analysis of some of the main ecological and anthropogenic factors of the Knja?evac wine-growing region which greatly effect wines with a medium to high alcohol content which have, at the same time, a pronounced lightness and freshness due to a medium-high acid content. In particular, the focus was on some factors analyzed in several representative locations/vineyards such as altitude, exposition, slope, varieties, rootstocks, vineyard surface, training system, etc. which certainly represent the Terroir of the Knja?evac wine-growing region and have a big impact on the quality and characteristics of the PDO wines.
