Albillo, name of several different pale-skinned grape varieties grown and sometimes confused in various parts of Spain, most notably Albillo Mayor in Ribera del Duero and other parts of castilla y león, and Albillo Real in castilla-la mancha and around madrid where some old vines yield honeyed dry wines of real substance. However, considerable confusion is caused by the use of plain Albillo in Spanish statistics and wine regulations. Both Albillos produce wines that are generally low in acidity, full bodied, and aromatic.
