Bodegas Montecillo Description
Montecillo Crianza maintains a cherry red color of surprising intensity. It is explosive on the nose, rich and lively with drive. Cooked red fruit dominates with a slight hint of blackberry. The oak appears after aeration, showing sweet notes and a seductive finish with notes of patisserie intertwined with the fruit. On the palate it is broad, round and very characteristic of the variety, with notes of ripe red fruit. Full of flavor. Multiple nuances appear on its journey through the palate, with balanced, powerful tannins that fill the mouth, bringing pleasure, and giving it a long, silky aftertaste. Exquisite acidity in combination with the tannins and juiciness that appears once again on the finish.
Rioja Crianza goes surprisingly well with tapas as well as expressing itself perfectly alongside more substantial meals, such as stews, lean meats, and charcuterie.
