D.O.Ca. Rioja / Marqués de Altillo
Marqués de Altillo Crianza
Marqués de Altillo Crianza is made exclusively from Tempranillo grape variety. The Tempranillo grapes are carefully handpicked from small production vineyards from vines over 80 years-old. The result is a superb wine with ripe, red fruit aromas and hints of spices.

Tasting Notes
Vibrant ruby red in colour with aromas of black pepper and cloves, raspberry and plum on the nose and a wonderful powerful but silky palate thanks to the perfect balance between acidity and tannins. A lovely elegant wine with a long finish.
Food Pairing
A perfect partner for all kinds of meat, cured cheeses and roasts.
