About this winery
Vivanco Winery is located in Briones, a privileged enclave in La Rioja Alta, on the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria and on the banks of the River Ebro. It is an area with a mild microclimate and extraordinary chalky-clay soils. Around the winery we find the Finca El Cantillo, whose name comes from the large number of boulders found on the ground. Tempranillo is the fundamental variety, but not the only one. In this vineyard we can also find other grape varieties that we use in our wines:...

Production notes
A trendy red; fresh and easy to drink. An agile wine from old vines in Tudelilla and central Rioja. Part of the wine (30%) was aged in barrels for three months, while the rest was aged on lees in vats.
Tasting notes
Incredibly fresh and fruit-forward with notes of strawberries, tart cherries, spring flowers, and loamy soil undertones in a medium-bodied, pure format. Vibrant acidity and silky tannins make this an easy-drinking red. Enjoy with everyday favorites such as pizza/panini, pasta, burgers and grilled vegetables.
