WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodega Akutain Cosecha Tinto is a red wine produced by Bodega Akutain, a renowned winery located in the Rioja Alavesa appellation of Spain. The wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Grenache grapes, sourced from the winery's own vineyards which are situated on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria mountain range. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and soil composition, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in neutral oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, fruit-forward red with notes of red berries, spices, and a hint of dried herbs.
