Cosme Palacio Crianza is a highly elegant red wine from the renowned Bodega Palacio, which has been modernizing the Bordeaux style in the wines of Rioja Alavesa since 1863. This wine is carefully crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes, hand-harvested in 15 kg boxes. The grapes are destemmed without crushing and undergo long macerations, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, where the wine remains for 12 months, followed by 10 months in bottle. In the glass, Cosme Palacio Crianza presents an attractive cherry red color, with a shine that invites tasting. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of fresh red fruits like strawberries and raspberries, along with notes of ripe dark fruit such as plums and blueberries, plus a spicy touch adding complexity. On the palate, it is powerful, round, and with remarkable freshness, finishing expressively, long, and juicy, making for a pleasurable experience. Recommended to accompany red meats, game, and aged cheeses, its optimal serving temperature is between 16 and 18ºC.
