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