Vineyard Milestones
Why plant Graciano in Toledo?
Carlos Falcó was a visionary in introducing this typically northern grape to the continental climate of Toledo. The limestone soils of Dominio de Valdepusa allow the Graciano to maintain its iconic freshness, something unique outside its traditional zones.
Evolutionary Potential
Thanks to its high natural acidity and the careful 20-month aging process, this wine has a cellaring potential of up to 15 years, during which it will develop a fascinating, velvety complexity.
