C. Rioja is a deep, complex red with vibrant aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as strawberries, blackberries, and cherries, complemented by notes of licorice, cocoa, vanilla, and subtle floral hints. Its palate is well-structured and balanced, showing fresh fruit flavors alongside menthol, clove, and a touch of coffee, all wrapped in smooth, plush tannins with a mineral and balsamic undertone. The wine’s richness and elegance recall the depth and complexity of a fine Amarone, yet it maintains the freshness typical of classic Rioja Tempranillo. Aged carefully in French oak, it offers a long, satisfying finish with spice and gentle oak nuances. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or grilled meats, enhancing the savory flavors of the dish.
