Graciano

Graciano is a low-yielding Spanish red grape best known as the seasoning in Rioja blends — even a small splash brings deep color, bright acidity, and structure that helps wines age gracefully for decades. It thrives in warm, dry climates and is harvested late, giving wines a notably aromatic, almost floral lift alongside dark fruit.

Also known as Cagnulari, Morrastel, Xeres.
