Listán prieto

Synonyms: It is also known as criolla chica (Argentina), misión (Mexico and California), moscatel negro (Canary Islands), país or negra antigua (Chile).

It is a variety of Spanish origin that was brought to Latin America, where it is widespread thanks to Spanish monks during the 16th century. This is why in some countries it is known as Misión, in association with Spanish missionaries.

Although in some places it is known as Palomina Negra, it is not the red version of Palomino Fino or Listán.

In Spain, after the phylloxera epidemic, it was wiped out on the Iberian Peninsula, surviving only in the Canary Islands.

It is very vigorous and productive, and its cycle is highly dependent on the amount of load and production of the vine.

The wines obtained from this variety are mostly young, light, fresh and fruity.
