Brancellao

Brancellao is a red grape variety native to the Galicia region of northwest Spain. It produces elegant, medium-bodied wines with flavors of red berries, herbs, and a subtle earthiness. The ABV for Brancellao wines generally ranges from 12-13.5%. Its popularity is growing due to its ability to produce distinctive, terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique characteristics of Galicia.

The cool, damp climate and diverse soils of Galicia are well-suited to Brancellao, allowing the grape to maintain its acidity and develop complex flavors. The grape’s limited cultivation and traditional winemaking practices contribute to the uniqueness and authenticity of Brancellao wines. As interest in indigenous and lesser-known grape varieties increases, Brancellao is gaining recognition for its contribution to the diversity and richness of Spanish viticulture.
