Other popular grape varieties in Valencia include Monastrell, Tempranillo, and Garnacha.
In Alicante, a subregion of Valencia, the wines tend to be more concentrated and full-bodied, due in part to the hot and dry climate. The region produces mostly red wines made from Monastrell, as well as white wines made from the local Merseguera grape variety. The wines are known for their depth of flavor, complexity, and ability to age well.
