'Crianza' Rosso Rioja DOC Marques de Cáceres 2020

Rioja Tinto Crianza DOCa is a red wine produced by the Marques de Caceres winery, located in the most prestigious wine area in all of Spain, Rioja Alta. It is a wine obtained from a very particular blend, which combines one of the most important vines of the Iberian nation, tempranillo (85%), with small percentages of garnacha tinta (10%) and graciano (5%). After a careful harvest, the grapes are fermented, blended and left to rest for a year in French and American oak barrels. This phase is followed by further refinement directly in the bottle, which lasts for another year. The result is a structured red wine, with an intriguing but not excessively complex drink, which is perfect for enlivening any lunch or dinner with friends. It can be enjoyed when young, yet Rioja Tinto Crianza DOCa is best expressed if left to age for two or three years in the cellar, a period in which it will be able to fully develop all its components.
