Product Description
Details
One of La Rioja's modern classics, the wine Vivanco Crianza is an excellently priced Spanish red wine made from 95% Tempranillo and a dollop of Graciano and Maturana Tinta, a recovered indigenous variety.
Harvested by hand in early October, the grapes were first cold-macerated. After a light pressing, this red wine from La Rioja was put into little French oak vats, where it was fermented and macerated at a controlled temperature with periodic pump-overs for 20 days.
The malolactic fermentation of this Crianza red wine from La Rioja was also carried out in those little vats, after which the wine Vivanco Crianza 2020 was aged for 16 months in French and American oak barrels, with several rack-and-returns.
Finally, the wine also known as the wine Vivanco Crianza Selección de Familia was aged for a further 6 months in the bottle prior to its commercial release.
Interestingly, the label of this wine from the Vivanco winery reproduces "Le Troubadour", a painting of the great Catalan artist Joan Miró.
