The rich history of Santo Cristo
In 1956, the Santo Cristo cooperative was founded by a group of four villages around Ainzon. The region is known for its old vines, with some vineyards over 100 years old. These old vines yield grapes of exceptional quality, which form the basis for the wines of Bodegas Santo Cristo. Bodegas Santo Cristo attaches great importance to sustainability and respect for the environment. The winery uses modern technologies and techniques to guarantee the quality of its wines, while also striving for an environmentally friendly approach to wine production. Vina Ainzon Crianza comes from Campo de Borja, a wine region located in the westernmost part of the province of Aragon, Spain. This region is geographically considered a continuation of southern Navarra. Campo de Borja is known for its long winemaking history and is particularly renowned for its quality wines. The grapes used for the production of Vina Ainzon Crianza are carefully selected. Traditionally, these grapes are fermented to achieve optimal flavor and aromas. After fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of approximately 10 months. During this aging, the wine is stored in barrels made of partially new American oak.The fruity notes of Vina Ainzon Crianza
Vina Ainzon Crianza is a beautiful cherry-red wine with seductive purple edges. This Crianza offers a complex aroma that delights the senses. As you approach the glass, your nostrils are filled with delicious aromas of ripe fruit, such as juicy blackberries and succulent currants. These fruity notes are beautifully balanced with subtle hints of toasted wood. The wine has a pleasantly fleshy texture, enveloping the palate with a rich and full-bodied sensation. The palate is well-balanced, with the fruity notes reemerging and harmoniously blending with the refined flavor of toasted wood. Subtle notes of coconut and vanilla also add a gentle sweetness, enhancing the wine's complexity.Product details
