The name is a diminutive of the Spanish word for "early" and is a grape that ripens before most other Spanish red grapes.
Temprano means ''early'' in spanish so the grapes are picked earlier than most other grapes.
I would love to take a wine tasting course. Sounds interesting, you would be partaking in a practice that has been more formalized since the 1300s. Neat, I recently got a Cabernet Sauvignon, do you know much about it? Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine and a part of the most widely recognized ones. What about Merlot?, could you tell me what is different about it? Merlot is on the softer and "fleshiness" side while Cabernet Sauvignon has more tannin. What about the whites what is the difference between a Pinot Griggio and a Sauvignon? I'm not well versed on those, I do know that Pinot noir grapes are most grown in cooler climates around the world. I have also heard about Tempranillo, even when I haven't tried it?  What do you think about it?
Its name is the diminutive of the Spanish ''temprano'' (''early''), a reference to the fact that it ripens several weeks earlier than most Spanish red grapes.
