Tempranillo
Tempranillo is Spain's most famous red grape variety. Thanks to its early ripening and a rather short vegetative cycle, it has adapted well to the cool areas of northern Spain. In particular in the Rioja region it produces some of the best reds in Spain both vinified alone and together with garnacha. The grape is also widespread in Portugal under the name of tinta roriz, especially in the Douro and Alentejo regions. In Italy it is cultivated in Lazio and Tuscany, where it is known by the name of malvasia nera. The wine has a great structure, rich, quite alcoholic, with an important tannic texture and moderate acidity.
