VALTRAVIESO CRIANZA is a red wine from the Ribera del Duero designation of origin, made with Tempranillo grapes, one of the most representative varieties of the region. This wine, which has been carefully aged, is characterized by its 12-month aging process in French and American oak barrels, giving it a unique complexity and elegance. Main characteristics: - Grape variety: Tempranillo, known for its great adaptability to different terroirs and excellent performance in the Ribera del Duero. - Aging: 12 months in oak barrels, favoring the integration of flavors and aromas, adding subtle notes of wood, vanilla, and spices, without detracting from the grape's own characteristics. - Aroma: On the nose, intense aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums are perceived, accompanied by subtle hints of spices, cocoa, tobacco, and a slight smokiness from the wood. - Taste: In the mouth, it is a structured wine, with soft and well-balanced tannins, offering a roundness sensation and a refreshing acidity. The aftertaste is long, with a pleasantly fruity and slightly spicy finish. Production process: The Tempranillo grapes used in VALTRAVIESO CRIANZA are manually selected from vineyards located in the Ribera del Duero, a region famous for its limestone soil and continental climate, favoring a perfect grape ripening. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve the fruit aromas. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to oak barrels, where it remains for 12 months for aging. Then, it is bottled and undergoes a brief resting period in the bottle before being released to the market.
