Carmelo Rodero Crianza 2022
D.O RIBERA DEL DUERO
tempranillo
Description
Carmelo Rodero Crianza is one of the most representative wines from Bodegas Rodero, located in the prestigious Ribera del Duero designation of origin.
Made mainly from Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes from the winery's own vineyards of medium age, this crianza reflects the intense and structured character of the area, combined with the elegance that defines the house style. Shows a very successful balance between fruit and wood, after aging in French and American oak barrels for at least twelve months, followed by a period of refinement in the bottle that rounds off the whole. It is a wine designed to be enjoyed now, but with the capacity to evolve over the coming years.
Carmelo Rodero Crianza tasting notes:
In the glass, it has an intense cherry red color with a violet rim. On the nose, it offers a powerful and clean aromatic expression, with ripe black fruit such as blackberry and plum taking center stage, accompanied by spicy notes, hints of vanilla, cocoa, and light toasted notes from the oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured, and flavorful, with well-integrated ripe tannins and balanced acidity that adds freshness. The finish is persistent, with a pleasant fruity aftertaste and balsamic nuances that invite you to continue enjoying it. Ideal with red meats, roasts, game, and aged cheeses.
