Primvm Vitae - Crianza

2007 Rioja Tempranillo

Global Wine Co. Primvm Vitae - Crianza is a stunning expression of Tempranillo from the renowned Rioja region. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied structure, balanced beautifully by a bright acidity that adds liveliness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring delightful notes of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of leather and spice, which are characteristic of well-aged Crianza wines. Tannins are notably firm, providing a solid backbone while ensuring a smooth finish, making this wine wonderfully approachable yet complex. Its off-dry profile reveals just enough sweetness to enhance the fruit character, offering an enjoyable experience that pairs exquisitely with a variety of dishes.

If you want to understand Spain, pour yourself a glass of Rioja. This historic northern region produces some of the country's most famous wines, typically mature, savory reds that go majestically with roast lamb. Rioja's vineyards trace the flow of the Ebro River through a valley protected by the nearby Cantabrian Mountains. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano are the key red grapes, with Viura leading the white grapes. There are three main classifications of red wines: Gran Reserva (aged for five years, at least two in barrel), Reserva (aged for three years, one in barrel), and Crianza (aged for two years, one in barrel). Other wines can be young and unoaked—an increasingly popular style that shows off Rioja's modern face.
