WINE DESCRIPTION
Francisco Barona Ribera Del Duero is a premium wine produced by Francisco Barona, a renowned winemaker in the Ribera Del Duero appellation. The wine is made from grapes grown in the region's high altitude vineyards, which are known for their extreme temperature fluctuations and poor soils, resulting in small, concentrated berries. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex red, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla, and a rich, full-bodied palate with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Francisco Barona Ribera Del Duero is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, expressive wine from one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied red from the Ribera Del Duero region of Spain is a powerhouse of flavor.On the nose, the wine greets you with intense aromas of dark fruits, leather, tobacco, and a hint of sweet oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intense, with flavors of blackberries, dark cherries, and earthy spices. The finish is long, with a hint of vanilla, and a pleasant tannic structure that lingers on the tongue. This is a bold and complex wine that will pair perfectly with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it now or age it for a few years to bring out its best characteristics.
