Wine Description:
Contino Rioja Graciano is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Contino, a renowned winery located in the Rioja Alavesa region of Spain. This wine is made from the Graciano grape variety, which is known for its intense color, high acidity, and complex flavors. The grapes are sourced from Contino's own vineyards, which are situated on the banks of the Ebro River and benefit from a unique microclimate and soil composition. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels for 15 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with aromas of black fruit, spices, and vanilla, and a long, elegant finish. Overall, Contino Rioja Graciano is a sophisticated and well-crafted wine that showcases the best of Rioja's terroir and winemaking traditions.

Wine Expert Note:

This Contino Rioja Graciano is a delightful, full-bodied red wine. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, and spices fill the nose, while flavors of dried cherry, clove, and smokey oak linger on the palate. The balanced acidity and velvety tannins are balanced yet firm, making for a pleasing mouthfeel. The finish is long and smooth, with a hint of dark chocolate.
