Bodegas Flaco Vinos de Madrid Tempranillo

Flaco, made with Spain’s signature Tempranillo grape, means “dude” in English. In the words of The Savvy Lush, Flaco “is the best goof-proof, budget-friendly wine out there. Spain is the largest producer of Tempranillo. These thick-skinned grapes are grown in regions that have hot days followed by cool evenings. This creates a concentrated, yet balanced flavor.” It is produced by Compañía de Vinos del Atlántico in the Demoninación de Origen (DO) of Vinos de Madrid.

Medium bodied, soft fruit on the palate with notes of red berries. The luscious fruit and soft texture make it a perfect wine for everyday drinking.

Pairs with all kinds of food because it’s savory. Try with:

Lasagna, Pizza and dishes with tomato-based sauces
Grits, Polenta and dishes with corn as a major ingredient
Mexican food such as tacos, nachos, burritos and chile rellenos
