Cruz de Alba Crianza DOCa 2017 - Bodegas Ramón Bilbao
The Cruz de Alba Crianza Ribera del Duero DO by Bodegas Ramón Bilbao embodies the new concept of Ramón Bilbao - soft, fruity and very modern. This red wine appears in the glass in a dark ruby red and seduces with the aromas of red and black fruits which are accompanied by subtle roasted aromas.
This Tempranillo is full-bodied and velvety soft on the palate, before ending in a long and fruity finish.
Vinification of the Cruz de Alba Crianza
This Spanish red wine is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, grown in the Ribera del Duero wine region south of the Rioja region. The Cruz de Alba is aged for 15 months in small barrels of French oak, in second and third occupancy and then refined for another 8 to 10 months in the bottle.
