Red Wine Tinto Figuero Crianza 2021
Availability: In stock
The wine Tinto Figuero Crianza, hitherto known as Tinto Figuero 12 Meses, is produced by Bodegas y Viñedos García Figuero,
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from Tempranillo vineyards planted between 1965 and 1995 in the heart of Ribera del Duero.
Meticulously harvested, once in the cellar the grapes were put into stainless steel tanks and cold-soaked for over a period of two days.
During the process of alcoholic fermentation, perodic punch-overs and pump-downs were performed to maximize contact between the wine and the solid skin cap.
Then the wine Tinto Figuero Crianza 2021 was transferred into new and used French oak barrels, where it was aged for 12 months.
Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.
Appearance | The wine Tinto Figuero Crianza is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Intense, but not overdone. Notes of ripe strawberries, blackberries, balsam, liquorice and cocoa. Subtle mineral undertones, mingled with dim toasted notions. A nicely balanced Tempranillo. |
Palate | Savoury and gentle, this red wine from Bodegas García Figuero has a velvety texture, noble tannins and good acidity. Well-balanced and quite focused, with a long, fruity finish. Still quite young, though, with plenty of room for improvement. |
Our personal opinion | The excellently priced wine Tinto Figuero Crianza 2021 is complex and drinkable. An unfailing Ribera. |
