Discover the Cigales wine region

Passion for the old wine capital, Valladolid.


The Cigales wine region is a Denomination of Origin (DO) located in the province of Valladolid, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. Cigales is known for its production of rosé wines, which are highly regarded for their quality and unique characteristics.

Key points about the Cigales wine region:

Location: Cigales is situated in the northern part of Spain, just northwest of the city of Valladolid. The region is located along the Pisuerga River.

Climate and Terroir: The climate in the Cigales wine region is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The vineyards are located at various altitudes, which contributes to the diversity of terroirs. The soils are generally limestone and clay, providing good drainage for the vines.

Grape Varieties: The primary grape variety cultivated in the Cigales DO is Tempranillo, known locally as Tinta del País or Tinto Fino. Tempranillo is used to produce the region's distinctive rosé wines, which are vibrant in color, aromatic, and have a fresh and fruity character. Some wineries in the region also produce red wines using Tempranillo and other grape varieties.

Wine Styles: While Cigales is primarily known for its rosé wines, the region also produces red and white wines, although they are less common compared to the rosés. The red wines are typically made from Tempranillo and can exhibit ripe fruit flavors and smooth tannins. White wines are made from grape varieties such as Verdejo and Albillo.

Local Culture and Tourism: Cigales is a region rich in history and cultural heritage. Visitors to the area can explore charming villages, historical sites, and medieval castles. Wine tourism has been growing in the region, with wineries offering tastings and tours for visitors.

The Cigales wine region is particularly known for its rosé wines, which have earned the DO a strong reputation both nationally and internationally. The distinctive rosés from Cigales are popular for their freshness, elegance, and versatility, making them an excellent choice for pairing with a wide range of dishes.
