What the French call ‘terroir’, which in Spain has been translated as terroir and we like to define more as identity – that of a landscape, of a farm, like the ones he worked with. Familia Mart\u00ednez Bujanda<\/a>, is characterized by the influence of the climate, soil, cultural practices (cultivation) and grape varieties.<\/b>
\nIn Rioja, Familia Mart\u00ednez Bujanda, apart from small additional contributions of maturana tinta and graciano for our Finca Valpiedra<\/a>, works with tempranillo, which is the traditional grape variety of the area and also the most widespread throughout Spain. In this regard, the Tempranillo<\/strong> (of rather short cycle as its name indicates) is cultivated practically all over the country with different synonyms: cencibel <\/strong>(Castilla-La Mancha), tinta del pa\u00eds (Madrid), tinto fino <\/strong>(Ribera del Duero), tinta de Toro<\/strong> (Zamora), arganda, escobera or chichillana<\/strong> (Extremadura), jacibiera <\/strong>(Castilla-La Mancha), arauxa <\/strong>(Orense) and ull de llebre<\/strong> (Catalonia).
\nAs Professor Jos\u00e9 Hidalgo Togores <\/a> recalled in a magnificent recent article, Tempranillo has even crossed borders with names such as tinta toriz and aragon\u00e9s or aragonez in Portugal, valdepe\u00f1as in California or luis hidalgo in Uruguay in honor of the father of the aforementioned researcher.
\nFor us, Tempranillo in Rioja reaches its maximum expression. There is little to say, nor do we intend to question in the least, the quality of the grape in more extreme climates such as Toro (tinta fina) or Ribera del Duero (tinta del pa\u00eds), but, in our opinion, it is in Rioja, and especially in the Alta subzone (Finca Valpiedra), where this variety becomes delicate, subtle and especially elegant, in contrast to the power and structure of the other two winegrowing areas mentioned.
\nA fact easily contrasted in a tasting, or better in a dinner with friends, and in which we encourage you to compare the tempranillo of Finca Valpiedra with the reds of Toro and the tinto fino of the areas of Toro and Ribera del Duero respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
