Graciano is an autochthonous variety from Rioja whose complementarity with Tempranillo when ageing properly has made it a must with a promising future in our land

Tannic grapes to produce wines with an intense red colour with violet hints and high aromatic intensity with a large, ample and silky taste, plus a sweet and nice ending.
