In vino veritas, or "there is truth in wine". Be that as it may, Tarragona is certainly proud of its wines. The region produces a variety of blends, which, whilst unpretentious, are perfectly at home on the best tables. The ancient Romans already knew that Tarragona's surrounding areas were ideal for winemaking, yielding wines that are the very embodiment of a land bathed by the sea and kissed by the sun almost all year round.
