Case of 3 Bottles of Arienzo from Marqués de Riscal Crianza

Arienzo 2018 is the first Vino de Zona from Marqués de Riscal as it is made from 100% selected grapes of the Tempranillo and Graciano varieties from vineyards located in Rioja Alavesa.

Fresh, fruity wine with a pleasant entry into the mouth, reminiscent of red fruits mixed with aromas of wood, coconut and vanilla. Broad on the palate, persistent, and with character, it clearly shows the quality of the fruits produced.

Arienzo red wine, from Bodegas Herederos del Marqués de Riscal, is made from a selection of the best Tempranillo and Graciano grapes from vineyards located in Laguardia and Elciego. Once the grapes have reached their optimum point of ripeness, the natural processes of alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation will begin in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control conditions. Once the fermentation processes have been carried out, the wine will be placed in American oak barrels for ageing for a period of 18 months, after which it will be bottled for further ageing.
