The European Commission has approved the addition of ‘Rio Negro' wines to the register of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).

‘Rio Negro' are white and red wines, produced in the province of Guadalajara, in Spain. They are known for their aromas: the whites offer citrus, floral, tropical, and apple notes, while the reds are marked by red fruit, floral, spicy, and smoky scents. Their naturally high acidity gives them remarkable freshness and good aging potential. These specific qualities are the result of the area's particular geographical environment, including its climate, altitude, and soil composition. The winemaking tradition in the 'Río Negro' area is long-established and reflects the know-how passed down through generations of local producers.

This new denomination will be added to the list of 1,653 wine products already protected. The list of all protected geographical indications can be found in the eAmbrosia database. More information is available online at Quality Schemes.
