Bodegas Altanza 'LeAltanza' - Reserva - Rioja

In 1998, Altanza set out to craft high - quality, budget - friendly wines. Today, their 700 - plus - acre estate produces not just great Riojas but also Sherry and olive oil. This 2012 wine, made from 100% Tempranillo, spends 12 months in new French oak barrels before bottling. It bursts with red fruit flavors like raspberry and cherry, along with a subtle licorice hint. Ideal for pairing with small game dishes or pasta puttanesca.

To enjoy this Bodegas Altanza 'LeAltanza' Reserva Rioja, simply chill it slightly before pouring. It's best served in a standard wine glass to appreciate its aroma and flavor. When pairing, remember that small game dishes and pasta puttanesca go really well with it. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, finish it within a few days and store it in the fridge with a cork to maintain its freshness.
