DO Chacoli de Alava

Geography
 
            The southernmost of the three Chacoli’s, DO Chacoli de Alava is inland towards Rioja. DO Chacoli de Vizcaya is to the north and west with Chacoli de Guetaria located to the northeast along the Atlantic. 
 
Climate
 
            More continental than the other two Basque DOs. Considerable rainfall and overcast skies are still the norm in these parts, but much less so than the grape growing neighbors to the north.
 
            Average temperature: 45F-66F, but it can get as cool as 36F and as hot as 95F.
