Abstract
<jats:p>The concept of terroir associates wines with their place of origin, since the flavor and aroma of the wine are closely related to the environmental conditions where the vine is produced. Factors such as climate, water and soil have a significant influence on the organoleptic characteristics of wine, by affecting the development of volatile and non-volatile chemical compounds present in grapes. Climate impacts mainly through variables such as temperature, precipitation and solar radiation, while soil influences through the availability of water and nutrients. Although the process by which these factors determine the quality of wine can be considered intangible and complex, many of the elements involved are measurable and can be monitored in vineyards and wineries. The present work compiles and analyzes different perspectives on the influence of soil, water and climate on wine quality, with the aim of supporting the hypothesis that these factors exert a significant influence on the wines produced in each wine region.</jats:p>
