Description
What kind of wine it is
The Valdinero Reserva by Alonso & Pedrajo is a still red wine from the renowned Rioja region, made from a blend based on Tempranillo. On the nose, floral notes of violet intertwine with aromas of red fruits, spices and delicate hints of wood. On the palate, it reveals a fresh and rounded texture, supported by ripe tannins that lead to a long and intense finish, confirming remarkable complexity.
Where it comes from
The vines grow in Haro, within the famous Rioja region in Spain. The vineyards are located at six hundred metres above sea level, rooted in clay-limestone soils that impart a pronounced typicity to the harvest. This soil composition enhances the most authentic expression of Tempranillo, offering ideal conditions for balanced ripening. The territorial imprint defines a wine capable of evolving excellently over time.
How it is produced
The production process is based on a careful selection of the grapes, ensuring only the best bunches are used. The vinification is aimed at supporting a long ageing in barrels, a distinctive feature of the Reserva version. Maturation in wood allows the wine to develop its characteristic spicy aromas and to smooth its structure. The result is an enveloping sip, which expresses its full potential if decanted for about an hour before serving.
