Carmelo Rodero Crianza is a red wine from DO Ribera del Duero, produced by Bodegas Rodero. The winery is a family project initiated by Carmelo Rodero in the village of Pedrosa de Duero, south of Burgos.
Furthermore, in the beginning, Carmelo Rodero was honoured for selling grapes to the Vega Sicilia winery for 14 years, one of the most internationally recognized Spanish wineries. Carmelo Rodero Crianza is a blend of Tempranillo (90%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). The grapes come from vineyards over 15 years old.
They are planted at an altitude of between 750 and 850m and withstand extreme weather, winters are very cold with strong winds and summers very hot.
Regarding the soil where they are planted, they are clay, with pebbles and sand. These features contribute to a low production vineyard but of great quality. For the preparation of Carmelo Rodero Crianza, grapes are manually selected on a table. Once stemmed and soaked cold for several days, the grapes are passed by gravity into stainless steel tanks for a temperature controlled fermentation.
Finally, Carmelo Rodero Crianza is aged for 15 months in French and American oak barrels, racked every three months.
Once bottled, Carmelo Rodero Crianza rests in the bottle for at least 12 months before going to market.
The typical aromas of Tinta Fina are the first to appear. As time goes by, the roasted notes gently emerge accompanied by a final touch of licorice.
