Listan Negro

Listan Negro, also known as Listan Prieto or Palomino Negro, is a red grape variety native to the Canary Islands, particularly Tenerife. It thrives in the island’s volcanic soils and enjoys the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Wines made from Listan Negro are known for their light to medium body, bright acidity, and distinctive volcanic minerality. They often exhibit aromas of red berries like cherry and raspberry, along with earthy undertones that reflect the unique terroir.

What sets Listan Negro apart is its adaptability to volcanic terrain, which imparts a subtle smokiness and minerality to the wine. This grape historically played a crucial role in the island’s viticulture, producing wines that are versatile with food, pairing well with local dishes such as grilled fish and tapas. For wine enthusiasts, Listan Negro offers a glimpse into the Canary Islands’ winemaking heritage and the intriguing interplay between volcanic soils and Atlantic influences.
