國家 Spain
土壤和氣候 Castilla-La Mancha is by far the largest wine district in Spain, covering about 50% of all production. The district extends, on the plateau of central Spain, at an altitude between 500 and 700 meters. The climate is distinctly continental, with cold winters and hot summers. There are four DOs in the district: Almansa, La Mancha, Méntrida and Valepeñ.
歷史 The most outstanding aspect of Almansa is its extraordinary castle, built on a massive cliff overlooking the city. Of Arab origin, it was rebuilt by don Juan Manuel in the fourteenth century. The historic center, which has been declared a Historic Artistic Complex, is formed by the narrow streets that surround the castle. Within the latter stands the palace of the Counts of Cirat, also known as Casa Grande, and characterized by a beautiful mannerist façade. Other examples of civil architecture are the 17th-century noble villas, such as the Enríquez de Navarra or the Marquises of Montortal, the old municipal granary, today the House of Culture and the Town Hall. As for the religious buildings, the parish of Asunción, from the 16th to the 19th century, is interesting, the convent of the Agustinas, with its Baroque façade, that of San Francisco and the hermitage of San Blas.
典型產品 We mainly grow white grapes, but the part of Cencibel (local name for Temptranillo) has increased considerably in recent times. Moreover, in the 1989-1990 harvest, since the demand for red wine was great, the producers managed to have the right to buy black grapes from other areas. The quality improvements, combined with low prices, guarantee popularity for Castilla-La Mancha wines both among internal and external consumers.
特色菜餚 Among the dishes of wild meat is the gazpacho de La Mancha, and those produced in the winter season such as garlic mataero, atascaburras or gachamiga. In summer the manchego ratatouille is typical. And in local festivals it is customary to prepare rice with meat and snails, wines with denomination of origin. As for desserts, they are important traditional sweets and pastries, such as pumpkin pies, must rolls: the famous Delicias de Almansa, cakes with egg yolk and eggs that were originally distributed directly to the Royal House and that today can still be enjoyed.
