Red Wine Calandria Tinto 2019

Produced by Bodegas Belote, the red wine Calandria Tinto comes from a remote area of the province of Valladolid situated within the boundaries of DO Tierra de León. Interestingly, this Spanish red wine was vinified and aged in an underground cave dug over 500 years ago.

Made solely from Prieto Picudo, a red variety indigenous to the León region characterized by its high tannin content, the grapes were sourced from vines 15 years old on average, planted in sandy-clay soils at 900 metres of altitude and farmed with minimal intervention techniques.

Hand-harvested at their optimal ripening stage, the grapes fermented spontaneously in concrete tanks, after which this red wine from Tierra de León was transferred into 500-litre French oak barrels.

After that, Calandria Tinto 2019 was aged for 12 months before being bottled.

Pair this Crianza red wine with meat dishes, cold cuts and aged cheese.

9,000 bottles produced.
