Reserva

2019 Rioja Tempranillo

Altivo Reserva is a beautifully crafted red wine that showcases the elegance of Tempranillo from the renowned Rioja region. This 2019 vintage captivates with its deep ruby color and complex aroma profile, featuring luscious notes of dark cherry and ripe plum intertwined with hints of vanilla and subtle spice from its careful aging. The wine delivers a full-bodied experience, making it rich and satisfying on the palate, while its balanced acidity adds a refreshing brightness that elevates the fruit characters. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing structure and depth, making it not only delightful now but also well-suited for aging. This wine is bone dry, allowing the pure expression of Tempranillo to shine without any sweetness, creating an exceptional sip that delightfully lingers.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
