Graciano

Graciano is a red wine grape that is primarily grown in the Rioja region of Spain. It is also cultivated in small quantities in other regions of Spain, such as Navarra and Catalonia.

Graciano is known for its intense and vibrant flavors, making it a popular choice for blending with other grape varieties. It is often used to add complexity and depth to Rioja wines, which are known for their rich and full-bodied characteristics.

The grape itself is small and thick-skinned, which contributes to its deep color and high tannin levels. Graciano wines are typically dark and concentrated, with notes of blackberry, plum, and spice. They often have a firm structure and a long, lingering finish.
