Piérola Crianza 2019 75cl.
Bodegas Fernández de Piérola was founded in 1996, with the aim of producing quality wines endowed with a personality that distinguishes them from the marked standardization that permeates a large part of Rioja wines. With this double objective, this small, family-run winery was launched, starting from the family vineyards located in Moreda (Rioja - Alavesa), an area with a long wine-growing tradition. The Winery is supplied only with grapes from Moreda vineyards, divided 50% between its own and those of others. The unique microclimatic and building conditions enjoyed by the vineyards allow the Tempranillo variety to reach optimal ripening. Pairs perfectly with sausages, legumes and game meats.

Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 100% Tempranillo.
Piérola Crianza is a red wine from the D.O.Ca. Rioja made by Fernández de Piérola. It is a single-varietal Tempranillo. The grapes come from vines that are over 30 years old and whose production is less than 5,500 kg/ha. The harvest is carried out manually. Subsequently, the grapes are destemmed in stainless steel tanks at a temperature below 28º. Once this process has been completed, Piérola Crianza macerates the skins for 30 days with two daily pumping overs. Finally, after malolactic fermentation, Piérola Crianza is aged for 18 months, with semi-annual racking, in young American (70%) and French (30%) oak barrels whose age ranges between one and three years.
