Situated in north-eastern Spain, Bodegas Borsao is an important producer from the D.O. “Campo de Borja” in Aragon. This area of Spain has been producing wine since the 12th century and is known for growing the Garnacha grape, once known as the “Red of Aragon”. All three of the wines we carry from Bodegas Borsao are made from Garnacha also known as Grenache in southern France. The grapes are grown on various small parcels at varying altitudes from 1,200 to 2,400 feet. The warm, continental climate in Campo de Borja is mitigated by the “Cierzo” wind cooling the vineyards. Bodegas Borsao is one of the greatest values in the wine world, offering terrific quality at an affordable cost.
The Campo de Borja D.O. is centered around the town of Borja, famously the home of the Borgia family who came to prominence in Italy during the Renaissance. The Borgia’s produced two Popes, most notable was Pope Alexander VI, born Rodrigo de Borja. One of the most controversial of Renaissance popes, he acknowledged fathering several children by his mistresses and is thought to be an inspiration for Machiavelli’s book The Prince.
