Taste

Montecillo Crianza is appealing from the outset, with lots of the red fruit typical of Tempranillo, alongside balanced acidity and the body of Garnacha. Polished and well-integrated tannins appear alongside fruity notes. A long, pleasing wine that leaves a mark.

This Crianza wine is the fruit of Tempranillo grapes that come in their entirety from vineyards in the Rioja Alta, located in towns with a long winemaking tradition: Fuenmayor, Cenicero, Baños de Ebro, Sajazarra, Cuzcurrita and Arenzana; and Garnacha picked in vineyards in Pradejón, in the Rioja Oriental area.

Thanks to rigorous controls and exhaustive treatments to our vineyards to combat possible outbreaks of disease or pests, the grapes ripened correctly with a balanced production. This resulted in healthy grapes, with a good level of acidity and fresh fruit aromas.
