: Somontano
Somontano is a relatively
new DO region in Arag??n, in the Pyrenees foothills
of northeast Spain. All of its new investment
has been made since joining the European Union
in 1986. The geography (about halfway between
the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts) and climate
--plentiful rain with moderate but sufficiently
warm summer temperatures up to 95?? F (35?? C)
-- are both promising viticulturally. A number
of international and native varietal vineyards
are recently planted, but thus far one cooperative
produces over 80 percent of Somontano's wine.
The traditional reds were Moristel (believed to
be Monastrell) and Garnacha, while newer experimental
vineyards now include Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot and some Pinot Noir. The traditional whites
Viura and Alcan??n are now being supplemented
by Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Gew??rztraminer.
Clearly the area is trying to find its true personality,
and improved winemaking facilities promise some
enchanting wines.
