FAQs about Graciano red wine
Though Graciano has a unique and unparalleled flavor all on its own, it blends well with other varieties because of its nearly-perfect levels of acidity and tannin. This allows it to add a solid structure to other blends, bringing out their own flavors even more intensely. The particular grape is also challenging to harvest, so when the yield is meager, it may be too difficult to produce Graciano wine. However, the strong aromas and flavors can still lend themselves to complimentary wines.
The Graciano grape itself has a strong mulberry aroma. The taste of the wine produced from the grapes includes intense berry and fruit flavors. Commonly aged in a red wine barrel — like most Spanish wines — Graciano also takes on a hint of vanilla and sweet spices. This unique wine also has undertones of nuts, mint, and wood. It's a flavor-rich wine with a unique and intense taste. When paired with a heavily spiced meal, more hints of woody and spicy flavors are brought out. The best way to enjoy the unique blend of flavors in this wine is to pair it with food strong enough to bring out the wine's tastiest notes.
Graciano grapes do grow in several other warm and arid climates, but the original fruit hails from Rioja. The optimal climate and the clay-limestone soil in the region make it the ideal spot for cultivating this very difficult grapevine. The grape has traditionally had a tough time ripening, even in Rioja. However, climate change has affected the weather, making it slightly more conducive to ripening this finicky grapevine. The origins of this grapevine are deeply rooted in Rioja.
