The region is known for its high-quality wines, with a focus on reds made from Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell.
Castilla-La Mancha has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of vineyards dating back to the Roman Empire. The region was an important center of viticulture during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the famous sweet wines of La Mancha were first produced. In the 19th century, the region was devastated by the phylloxera epidemic, but it was quickly rebuilt and is now one of the most important wine regions in Spain.CUSTOMER RATING
