Cepa 21 2020

Cepa 21 is the purest expression of the winemaking revolution in Ribera del Duero, a wine that breaks with classicism to embrace modernity without losing the essence of its origin.

Crafted by the Moro family, this monovarietal Tinto Fino is born in north-facing vineyards, a strategic orientation that protects the grapes from excessive heat and guarantees a slow and balanced ripening. The result is a vibrant organoleptic profile, where the ripe black fruit is not overshadowed by the wood, but enhanced by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels.

In the glass, Cepa 21 displays a deep cherry-red layer with ruby rims, anticipating a complex nose full of balsamic, spicy, and fruity nuances. On the palate, its structure is imposing yet silky, with round tannins that offer a long and persistent finish. It is the definitive choice for the contemporary consumer seeking the power of Ribera del Duero interpreted with freshness and elegance. Ideal for collectors and fine dining enthusiasts who value the authenticity of the Valladolid terroir.
