Tempranillo shown no genetic connection between the cultivars. Spanish cultivation of "Vitis vinifera", the common ancestor of almost all vines in existence today, began in earnest with Phoenician settlement in the southern provinces. Later, according to the Roman writer Columella, wines were grown all over Spain; yet there are only scattered references to the name "Tempranillo". Ribera del Duero wine making extends back over 2,000 years, as evidenced by the 66-metre mosaic of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, that was unearthed in 1972, at Baños de Valdearados. It is possible that this grape was introduced to the Western Hemisphere by
Arithmetic of abelian varieties Arithmetic of abelian varieties In mathematics, the arithmetic of abelian varieties is the study of the number theory of an abelian variety, or family of those. It goes back to the studies of Pierre de Fermat on what are now recognized as elliptic curves; and has become a very substantial area both in terms of results and conjectures. Most of these can be posed for an abelian variety "A" over a number field "K"; or more generally (for global fields or more general finitely-generated rings or fields). There is some tension here between concepts: "integer point" belongs in a sense
