It is worth saying that it is a low-yielding grape; this is why its cultivation is not very widespread, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Graciano\">395 hectares to be specific<\/a> (0.7% of the total Riojan vineyard).<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bodegasmontecillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1710793208.webp\" alt=\"grapes used in wines from Bodegas Montecillo - vineyard from La Rioja\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It thrives in arid, warm climes. \u00a0<strong>The vine produces a low quantity of very aromatic berries<\/strong>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be technical, the bunch has two short cylindrical shoulders. The grapes are round and small in size. The pulp is firm and colourless. \u00a0The skin has a very dark colour and is highly resistant to disease. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is interesting to note that in the year 2000, the Madrid Institute of Farming and Food Research (IMIA) carried out a wide scale study on Spanish grape varieties. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inia.es\/IniaPortal\/verPresentacion.action\">This study<\/a> showed that <\/span><strong>Graciano from Rioja, Parraleta from Somontano and Tintilla de Rota are the same grape variety.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sinonimia_(biolog%C3%ADa)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">synonyms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Graciano are: Bastardo Nero, Bastard Negre, Bois Dur, Bordelais, Cagliunari, Cagnonale, Cagnovali Nero, Cagnulari, Cagnulari Bastardo, Cagnulari Sardo, Cagnulatu, Caldareddu, Caldarello, Cargo Muol, Courouillade, Courouillade, Couthurier, Drug, Graciana, Graciano Tinto, Grosse Negrette, Jerusano, Karis, Marastel, Matarou, Minostello, Minustello, Monastel, Monestaou, Morastel, Morestel, Mourastel, Perpignan, Perpignanou Bois Dur, Plant de Ledenon, Tinta do Padre Antonio, Tinta Miuda, Tintilla, Uva Cagnelata, Xeres (the latter is of Californian origin, in Spain Jerez is Sherry, what Osborne is about),\u00a0Cendr\u00f3n, Tanat Gris, Tinta Mi\u00fada and Tinta do Padre.

Its cultivation continues to grow and it is considered native to Spain.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It is very common among the Spanish public to confuse the name of the varietal with a wine that has been aged for a short time, that is to say with a young wine<\/strong>. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, although its use is well-established in these types of wine, it is important to point out that where Tempranillo shows its true class is in just the opposite, in more exclusive wines in terms of price and ageing potential: Reservas and Gran Reservas. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bodegasmontecillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1710793208.webp\" alt=\"grapes used in wines from Bodegas Montecillo - Montecillo Reserva\" width=\"900\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bodegasmontecillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1710793208.webp 540w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/uvas-utilizadas-en-los-vinos-de-Bodegas-Montecillo-Montecillo-Reserva-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its name is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diminutive\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diminutive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> version of temprano \u00abearly\u00bb<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, due to the fact that it ripens several weeks earlier than the majority of Spain&#8217;s black grape varieties. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its genesis is from two other varieties: Albillo Mayor and Benedicto. \u00a0It could have been born through a spontaneous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hybrid_(biology)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hybridization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the last millennium, some where around the Ebro River Valley. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until recently, it was suspected that it was related to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pinot_noir\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinot Noir<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0grape, but recent genetic studies<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tend to rule out this possibility. \u00a0Although it is certain that if you have the chance to compare an aged Burgundy with an aged Rioja you will find astonishing similarities.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of Spain, the grape plays a very important role in the production of wines in two regions of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Portugal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alentejo_Central\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alentejo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Douro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Douro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
