Reserva

2007 Rioja Red Wine

The Altivo Reserva is a stunning red wine from the renowned Rioja region, celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage. With its deep crimson color, this vintage exhibits a full-bodied character that envelops the palate in complexity. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift to the wine's robust profile. Its fruit intensity stands out with prominent notes of ripe blackcurrant and plum, harmoniously interwoven with hints of spice and oak imparted during aging. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure while allowing the fruit to shine. This wine is elegantly dry, making it a delightful choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own for a moment of indulgence.

Rioja

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.
