The Tempranillo grape comes from two varieties, the greater Albillo and the Benedict. The Tempranillo variety may have been born by spontaneous hybridization in the last millennium probably in the environment of the Valley of the Ebro.

The Spanish cultivation of Vitis vinifera, the common ancestor of most of the vines which currently exist, began well soon with the Phoenician settlement in the provinces of the South of the Peninsula. Later, according to the Roman writer Columella, cultivated the vine by all Spain, although there are only a few scattered references to the name tempranillo. This may be because in many places, like in Valdepeñas region, was the main indigenous variety and it was assumed that it was a different grape. An early reference to this grape is found in the book of Alexandre, (13th century) referring to the region of Ribera del Duero, which mentions the Castilian grapes by name.
