Tempranillo - characteristics, origin, distribution
You are honored with probably the most important variety of black grape in Spain. She probably arrived there together with the monks from the French monastery in Cluny, who set out on a legendary pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Tempranillo is popularly vinified in a mixture of Rioja and Garnacha, but you can also find its pure form, which is very impressive despite the small sweetness and acidity of the grapes. In addition to Spain and Portugal, the variety is widespread in Argentina and Italian Tuscany and Lazio.
