In the shadow of its western neighbour Ribera del Duero, Cigales is often overlooked, but its red wines – also mainly from Tinta del Pais (aka Tempranillo) – offer more approachability in youth, alongside a rustic charm. This delivers a generous, plush mouthful: spicy, earthy dried strawberry flavours supported by loads of chewy tannins.
