Product Description
Details
One of the most representative wines from DO Ribera del Duero, the wine Protos Crianza Magnum comes in a 1.5-litre bottle, a key feature that guarantees a longer and steadier ageing process.
A varietal Tinta del País, this Spanish red wine is made from grapevines over 35 years of age. In order to reduce yields and optimize sun exposure, the plants are green pruned at the beginning of every growing season
Once the grapes were brought to the facilities of Bodegas Protos, they were first destemmed and gently crushed. Then the wine must was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with pump-downs of the solid skin cap and punch-overs of the underlying wine juice performed on a daily basis.
After that, this red wine from Ribera del Duero was aged for 12 months in 33% third new French, 34% 2nd year French and American, and 33% 3rd year French and American oak barrels.
Finally, the wine Protos Crianza 2020 Magnum was aged for a further year in the cellar prior to its commercial release.
Aerate this Crianza red wine at least half an hour before drinking.
