Carmelo Rodero Crianza is a red wine from the renowned Bodega Rodero, one of the most important in Ribera del Duero. This wine is a blend of 90% Tinta del País and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, produced from vineyards that are over 15 years old. The production combines traditional and modern techniques, including temperature control during fermentation and maceration. Carmelo Rodero Crianza undergoes aging in French and American oak barrels for a minimum of 15 months, followed by racking every 3 months, and is left in the bottle for at least 12 months before commercialization. Its sensory profile is notable: intense ruby color with rosy highlights, varietal aromas accompanied by soft roasted notes, and a licorice finish. On the palate, it is structured and meaty, offering a bouquet that lingers after the first sip. This wine pairs perfectly with dishes like fried eggs with ham, cold cuts, roasted red meats, and semi-cured cheeses. It is recommended to serve at a temperature between 14 and 16ºC.
