Autol is another beautiful village located in the region of La Rioja, famous for its high quality wine production. Here I provide you with information about the typical wines of Autol and some traditional dishes that you can enjoy in the area:
Wines:
In Autol, as in many parts of La Rioja, wine is a fundamental part of the local culture and economy. Wines to try in Autol include:
White wine: The white grape variety Viura is common in La Rioja and is used to produce fresh and fruity white wines. These wines are ideal to accompany seafood and fish dishes.
Red wine: As in other parts of La Rioja, Autol's red wines are usually based on the Tempranillo grape, which produces wines with a deep and complex flavour. The red wines of the region can vary in style, from young and fresh to more aged and structured reserves.
Crianza and Reserva: Rioja's Crianza and Reserva wines are usually the most outstanding. Crianza wines are aged for at least two years, with one year in oak barrels, while Reserva wines are aged for at least three years, with a minimum of one year in oak barrels.
Gastronomy:
The gastronomy in Autol is typically Riojan and is based on fresh, quality ingredients. Some traditional local dishes to try include:
Lamb chops: Grilled lamb chops are a classic La Rioja dish and are frequently served in Autol due to the region's livestock tradition.
