Tarragona

Tarragona is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Catalonia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is historic Catalan DO for dry wines and traditional fortified or sweet styles around Tarragona. Typical wines are fresh whites, Mediterranean reds, and sweet or rancio-style wines depending on category. The vineyard context is Mediterranean coastal and inland vineyards with limestone, clay, and alluvial soils.
