The wine region of Cigales

DO north of Valladolid (Castile and León), ~750 m plateau, pebble soils, continental climate. Historic kingdom of clarete rosé signature: red-white blended rosés with intense salmon hue, ripe strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, citrus and floral notes, structured fresh palate — gastronomic, far from modern pale rosés. Tempranillo (Tinta del País) in firm reds (cherry, plum, leather, spice) and supple Garnacha in full qualitative rise.

The wine region of Castille-et-Léon

Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
