Cepa 21 wine from Ribera del Duero

Elaboration and aging

Cepa 21 is a single-varietal wine made from the Tinta Fina variety. The grapes are grown in soils belonging to the municipalities of Castrillo de Duero, Pesquera de Duero, and Nava de Duero, chosen for their edaphological affinity. The soils present alternating layers of limestone and clay with slight outcrops of alluvial and sedimentary pebbles. Its origin is documented in the Tertiary period, specifically during the Miocene.

Aged for 12 months in new American and French oak barrels.
