Caiño tinto
Spanish red wine grape variety
Caiño tinto is a red wine grape variety native to the Galicia region in Spain. It is primarily grown in the Rías Baixas DO and is known for producing wines with high acidity and a distinctive aromatic profile.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Caiño tinto is characterized by its small, thick-skinned berries that are deep blue-black in color. The grape is known for its late ripening, which allows it to develop a complex flavor profile. Wines made from Caiño tinto typically exhibit high acidity, moderate alcohol levels, and a range of flavors including red fruits, herbal notes, and a hint of spice.
The grape's high acidity makes it particularly suitable for blending, as it can add freshness and structure to wines. Caiño tinto is often blended with other local varieties such as Mencía, Espadeiro, and Loureira.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Caiño tinto thrives in the cool, damp climate of Galicia, where the Atlantic Ocean influences the weather patterns. The grape is well-suited to the region's granite and schist soils, which contribute to the mineral character of the wines. The vines are typically trained on trellises to maximize sun exposure and air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases common in the humid environment.
Wine Regions[edit | edit source]
While Caiño tinto is most commonly associated with the Rías Baixas DO, it is also grown in other parts of Galicia, including the Ribeiro and Ribeira Sacra DOs. Each region imparts its own unique characteristics to the wines, influenced by variations in climate, soil, and winemaking techniques.
Wine Profile[edit | edit source]
Wines made from Caiño tinto are typically light to medium-bodied with a vibrant acidity that makes them refreshing and food-friendly. The flavor profile often includes notes of red berries such as raspberry and cherry, along with herbal and floral undertones. The wines can also exhibit a slight peppery or spicy finish, adding complexity to the palate.
