About Cune Crianza

Since 1879, the year of its establishment, Cune Crianza has consistently been a staple in the Rioja winery. There is no season in which a fine batch of this red wine, one of the winery's best sellers, is not produced.
 
To discover the essence and spirit of Cune Crianza, one must delve back almost a century and a half to the vineyards of Rioja Alta, the source from which this wine originates. Approximately half of these vineyards belong to the winery itself, while the other half has traditionally been cultivated by local vignerons. Regardless, all the plots are situated near the facilities to ensure that Cune Crianza is always crafted under the finest conditions. All the grapes come from diverse terrains, with a wide variety of soils and orientations (so characteristic of the D.O. Ca. Rioja), with vines of varying ages, tended according to the individual criteria of each producer. Perhaps this diversity is the secret of Cune Crianza? Although the name remains the same, it is evident that no two vintages of this wine are ever alike. 
 
In the winery, the grapes for Cune Crianza are processed and crushed, then transferred to 20,000-kilo stainless steel tanks where they ferment at a controlled temperature. During this period, which will last several weeks, délestage will be crucial. This process involves emptying the tank during fermentation, transferring the must to another container and then reintroducing it into the original tank. This results in greater extraction of aromas and colour because when the tank is emptied, the cap (the layer of skins that remains on top) sinks to the bottom, where it breaks upon reintroduction of the must. After a few days, the wine undergoes racking, separating the solid parts from the liquid, and continues with malolactic fermentation. Finally, Cune Crianza is transferred to used American oak barrels where it rests for a year. 
 
Each bottle of Cune Crianza contains not only a superb red wine but also years and centuries of effort and dedication from generations of vintners. Cune Crianza is more than just a wine; it is the renewal of a commitment that remains unbroken over time.
