This is what good wine from the Parraleta grape tastes like

The Parraleta grape produces dark red wines with a pleasantly crisp acidity and can be slightly floral. Parraleta grows in the Spanish province of Aragon, but also in Corsica and Portugal, although they call it differently there.

The Spanish province of Aragon is likely the birthplace of the Parraleta grape. While there used to be quite a few Parraleta vineyards in Aragon, it's now rare here.

In Corsica, this grape is called Carcajolo Nero or Carcaghjolu Neru. Carcaghjolu literally means "high yield," so pruning shears are necessary to make high-quality wines from this grape.

In Portugal, the same grape is called Tinta Caiada. It has been gaining popularity there in recent years. Winemakers in Alentejo, in particular, are succeeding in producing very good wines from their Tinta Caiada.
