possibly along with the acidity &#8211; on the fact that polished tannins remain.<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bodegasmontecillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1710793014.webp\" alt=\"Taninos - Bodegas Montecillo\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bodegasmontecillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1710793014.webp 2048w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Taninos-Bodegas-Montecillo-600x400.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Taninos-Bodegas-Montecillo-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Taninos-Bodegas-Montecillo-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Taninos-Bodegas-Montecillo-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We mentioned the age of the wine as <strong>tannins get softer the longer the wine spends in the bottle, which is why &#8211; among other things &#8211; Montecillo leaves its wines to age in glass longer than the D.O.Ca. Rioja regulations stipulate.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it is thanks to small quantities of oxygen that the tannins combine with other tannins in a process called <strong>polymerization<\/strong>. \u00a0When these molecules, reach a certain size over time they precipitate out and turn into sediment. <\/span><br \/>\n<strong>This is why older bottles of wine have sediment in the bottom, feel more elegant on the palate and appreciate in terms of their initial sale price. <\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we&#8217;ve said before, tannins are very easy to recognise in the mouth due to the drying, vegetal sensation they give, which appears to stick to the gums and palate. \u00a0Despite this, tannins are never a defect, completely the opposite as, as we&#8217;ve mentioned,<strong> it is one of the characteristics that a wine for long ageing should have, given the complexity and lifespan that they provide. <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more a question of integration than presence.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another issue is that <strong>not all varietals have the same amount of tannins.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>The highest levels are found in the Bordeaux grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon, the Italian Nebbiolo and the most structured Spanish grape: Tempranillo.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And among the grapes with the lowest levels you can find Pinot Noir (Burgundy) and another flagship variety from Rioja: Garnacha.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After covering the tannin in the fruit it is time now to speak about <strong>wood, as it is another source of tannins as they dissolve into the wine through contact<\/strong>. \u00a0Logically this happens when the wine is aged in barrels. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>These are most frequently made of oak due to the flavours and qualities that it gives to the wine.<\/strong> We have already mentioned what American and French oak can bring to the wine, we should also point out that <strong>new barrels are more intrusive in terms of the amount of tannins that they provide<\/strong>, compared to other winemaking techniques.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore <strong>it is crucial to know what level of barrel ageing is ideal according to the type of wine that we want to produce. <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>So now, you are ready to go out on a tannin hunt. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As to be expected the word tannin has come up in the course of our series about different aspects of the world of wine, and the truth is, we haven&#8217;t explained what it means. \u00a0Yet.
