Elaboration: 

  • Ageing: 12 months in French and American oak barrels.

Sensory tasting: 

  • Color: Intense color, cherry red shaded in violet.
  • Aromas: Complex in the nose with aromas of wild berries, toasted notes and liquorice.

“Crianza is the most faithful reflection of Pago de Carraovejas. A wine that became a myth”.
