WINE DESCRIPTION

Altanza Rioja Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Altanza, a renowned winery located in the Rioja appellation of Spain. The wine is made from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes grown in the vineyards of the Rioja region, which are known for their high altitude and mineral-rich soils. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in oak barrels for at least 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Rioja, with notes of ripe red fruit, vanilla, and spice, and a long, smooth finish. Altanza Rioja Reserva is a perfect choice for wine lovers who appreciate the classic style of Rioja wines.
