Region Information >
Vinos de la Tierra de
Castilla la Mancha
The Vinos de la Tierra
designation is less strictly regulated than a Denominación de Origen,
and permits a greater range of grapes varieties, growing conditions,
vineyard location and production techniques than in the D.O. regions.
There are 42 Vinos de la Tierra
(VdlT) classifications in Spain.
Once such region is the
Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla. This region is located in central Spain,
the Spain of Don Quixote, noted for its hot, arid plains. The V. de la
T. de Castilla was formed in 1999 to take in those areas outside of the
several D.O.s in the area. The region as a whole has 600,000 hectares (1.48
million acres) of vineyards, which represents nearly 6% of the world's
vineyards.
