This wine has rather a solemn demeanour, both in its deep colour and in its bright, promising appearance. It is a wine full of nuances, ranging from those which mark its complex aroma, with almost candied fruit mingling with traces of dark chocolate and toasted, spicy nuances, to those which unveil as it passes through your mouth: supple, meaty and potent, with elegant, soft, fruity tannins. Long and open in the aftertaste. It is a proud wine with a long, lingering finish.
Region Description
This Spanish grape gives wines deep color, low acidity and only moderate alcohol content. In recent years the Ribera del Duero region has been producing wonderful wines featuring this grape; in older, more traditional regions such as Rioja, the grape is blended with others.
