About Amona

When life delivers an unexpected blow and leaves a sudden void, it requires a special resilience to take charge, protect one's loved ones, and ensure that the efforts of multiple generations are not lost to uncertainty. This is precisely what Rosario Vera did following the untimely death of her husband, Juan Gil González. She became the backbone of the family, the emotional pillar and the driving force that kept her children and the family project united. With that blend of steadfastness, tenderness, and courage that only the greatest matriarchs possess to guide a household, Rosario earned profound respect and admiration from all. Thus, when the Gil family arrived in the Rioja region, they named the project Bodegas Rosario Vera in her honour. Dedicating this label under the name Amona, meaning grandmother in Basque, is a way to return, through a glass, all the love, dignity, and refuge she provided during the most challenging times.

From the Rioja Alavesa region, in the north of the province of Álava, Amona embodies the living heritage of this territory under the protection of the DOCa Rioja. The grapes are sourced from a carefully selected array of small plots scattered throughout this privileged subzone, where the vines sink their roots into clay-limestone soils, an ideal combination of clay and limestone to retain water in summer and impart elegance to the grape. The landscape benefits from a privileged climate that merges the freshness of Atlantic influence with Mediterranean warmth, shielded to the north by the Cantabrian Mountains. This combination of altitude, mild currents, and limestone terrain provides the tempranillo with an exemplary balance between acidity and ripeness. The vineyard is tended with respect for the plant's natural rhythm and the land's health, culminating in a meticulously detailed manual harvest.

The crafting of Amona merges parcel-specific work with the region's most deep-rooted traditions. After hand-harvesting, the grapes from the various vineyards ferment separately in small stainless steel tanks to preserve the identity of each estate. A portion of the harvest is processed using the traditional method of carbonic maceration, an indigenous technique of Rioja Alavesa where whole clusters, including stems, are placed uncrushed in an atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide. In this oxygen-free environment, intracellular fermentation begins within the grape itself, a process where the berry's enzymes internally transform sugars into alcohol, generating bursts of fresh fruit and distinctive floral aromas. After racking, gentle pressing, and blending the various batches, the wine is respectfully clarified and bottled, preserving all its vitality.

Amona is expressive, juicy, and brimming with youth. A sincere and approachable wine that pays tribute to the hands that nurture the home and keep their loved ones united.
