\r\n \r\nComme pour beaucoup d'appellations espagnoles, la propagation du phylloxéra en France a permis une rapide expansion des zones viticoles XIXe siècle par l'accroissement corrélative des demandes à l'exportation. Au XXe siècle, cette expansion a été favorisée par la création de la coopérative régionale Somontano Sobarbe et par les grands projets d'entreprise des années 90. \r\n \r\nLe climat du Somontano se caractérise par des hivers très froids et des été chauds, les changements de température arrivant de manière brutale à la fin de pintemps et en automne. Les vins blancs, rouges et rosés de Somontano sont élaborés à partir d'une quinzaine de variété de cépages, pour partie étranger et pour partie locaux tel le Moristel, le Tempranillo ou la Parreleta. Le vignoble de Somontano s'étend sur 4.400 hectares au sein de la zone d'appellation. \r\n \r\nLa variété et la qualité des vins de Somontano sont particulièrement bien représentées par les Bodegas Osca, Pirineos, Enate ou Irius. \r\n \r\n \r\n","Somontano | Buy wine directly from Spain","Sales","Wine guide","Wines of Spain","3.3/5","See the 35 reviews","Somontano is an appellation located at the foot of the Pyrenees, on the Spanish side, in the Huesca region.
