WINE DESCRIPTION
The Unico Reserva Especial Edición is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned Vega Sicilia winery in Spain's Ribera del Duero appellation. This wine is a blend predominantly from Tempranillo with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are grown in the winery's own vineyards, which are known for their high altitude and poor soils, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves extended aging in oak barrels and bottle, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather. This wine is a true representation of the Vega Sicilia style, which is characterized by its balance, finesse, and longevity.
