A street in the municipality of Tacoronte, in Tenerife, was officially named for the first time at the beginning of the summer, after the acting mayor at that time, Daniel D\u00edaz Armas, took one of the last steps of his term of office. On June 19, the City Council baptized a small road in the north of the island as Calle del Calimocho<\/strong>, although the neighbors of the area had already been calling it that for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is that on one side of the street is the Bodega Comarcal de Tacoronte and, just at the other end<\/strong>, a Coca-Cola factory<\/strong>. These two ingredients, wine and Coca Cola, are precisely the basic ingredients of calimocho, so it was a natural occurrence. It was a neighbor who first noticed the coincidence, and who came up with the name in the first place. As it was so well received by the inhabitants of the municipality and the factories themselves, the matter reached the ears of the administrations and the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1992, the Bodega Comarcal de Tacoronte is one of the three that make up the Bodegas Insulares de Tenerife<\/strong>. With wines of the Designation of Origin Tacoronte-Acentejo, the company has a wide range of awards, among which is the Grand Gold Medal of the National Competition of Wines of Small D.O.’s 2023 and the Silver Medal in the most recent Vinespa\u00f1a contest, organized by the Spanish Federation of Oenology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wines of the Designation of Origin Tacoronte-Acentejo<\/a>, named after the region located on the northern slope of Tenerife, are full in the mouth, with volume and soft tannins, as explained from the D.O.. These properties are largely due to the soil in which the vineyards grow, of volcanic and vegetal origin and in transformation due to the effect of basaltic ashes<\/strong>. It is the area with the highest density of vineyards in the whole archipelago, with 2,422 hectares of vineyards cultivated along the 23 kilometers of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
