Figuero Ribera del Duero 12 Months in Barrel Crianza 2021 is a red wine from the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin, crafted by Bodegas Tinto Figuero. This wine is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes sourced from vines aged between 20 and over 50 years, primarily from the areas of La Horra and Roa in the Burgos province. After meticulous fermentation, the wine undergoes 12 months of aging in both French and American oak barrels. This process is crucial for imparting complexity and balance while preserving the wine's fruity expression. On the nose, the wine presents itself as intense and elegant, showcasing aromas of ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, alongside notes of licorice, vanilla, and spices from barrel aging. On the palate, it is broad and balanced, featuring silky tannins and well-integrated acidity leading to a long, harmonious finish where fruit and wood combine ideally. This Ribera del Duero is a wine with character and elegance, highly representative of the winery's style. It is recommended to enjoy it with roasted lamb, red meats, traditional stews, or cured cheeses.
