WINE DESCRIPTION

The Portento Crianza is an inviting, approachable red wine that balances tradition and modern winemaking. Aged for 6 months in amphora for purity of fruit expression, followed by 9 months in American and French oak barrels, it gains a soft touch of warmth and subtle complexity. With a smooth, friendly character and gentle layers of ripe fruit, this wine is easy to enjoy and perfect for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Portento Crianza offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of vanilla.These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of tobacco and spice, adding depth and complexity to the wine. The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of black fruits, such as blackcurrants and plums, take center stage, accompanied by nuances of cedar and mocha. The wine's aging in oak barrels lends it a touch of smokiness and a lingering finish.

Winery: Portento

Region: Castilla-la Mancha

Castilla-La Mancha is Spain's largest wine region, located in the center of the country. It is a vast area of rolling hills and plains, with a rich history of winemaking that dates back to the Roman Empire. The region is known for its high-quality wines, with a focus on reds made from Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell. Castilla-La Mancha has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of vineyards dating back to the Roman Empire. The region was an important center of viticulture during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the famous sweet wines of La Mancha were first produced. In the 19th century, the region was devastated by the phylloxera epidemic, but it was quickly rebuilt and is now one of the most important wine regions in Spain.
