The wine region of Castille
Cradle of great Castilian reds, high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) along the Duero. Tempranillo king (aka Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino): powerful, concentrated, structured reds with notes of black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins from altitude and cool nights. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (floral, mineral Mencía). Lively, herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
