Izadi Rioja Larrosa is a premium rosé wine produced by Izadi, a renowned winery in the Rioja appellation of Spain. The wine is made from a blend of Garnacha and Viura grapes, sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Rioja Alavesa. The vineyards are characterized by their poor soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected before undergoing a gentle pressing to extract the juice. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve its delicate aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a pale pink color with aromas of red fruits and floral notes. On the palate, it is fresh, crisp, and well-balanced, with a long and elegant finish. Izadi Rioja Larrosa is a perfect wine for any occasion, and it pairs well with a wide range of foods.
