Campillo El Niño de Campillo Rioja is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Campillo, a renowned winery located in the Rioja appellation of Spain. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the winery's own vineyards, which are characterized by their high altitude and poor soils, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of ripe red fruit, spices, and vanilla. The wine is a perfect representation of the classic Rioja style, with a balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, making it a great choice for pairing with a variety of dishes.
