History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Listan Prieto are believed to be in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the regions of Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura. The grape was brought to the Americas by Spanish colonists during the 16th century, where it adapted to the different climates and soils, developing into different clonal varieties.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Listan Prieto is a vigorous vine that can produce high yields if not carefully managed. It is resistant to drought and adapts well to a variety of soil types. The grape clusters are medium-sized and compact, with small to medium-sized berries. The skin of the grape is thick and dark, giving the wine a deep color.

In Spain and Portugal, it is often blended with other varieties to add color and structure. In South America, it is used to produce varietal wines as well as blends.
