Allegranza Tempranillo

For this price, it's truly unbelievable how beautiful this red from La Mancha is! This red Allegranza wine is made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes sourced from a single vineyard. In other words, the harvest is so incredibly good that only grapes from this special vineyard are good enough to produce a fantastic red wine. The vineyard is mature, as the vines have been in the nutrient-rich soil for thirty years. Their deep roots easily absorb moisture, making them resilient to hot summers. The vineyard lies at an altitude of between five hundred and one thousand meters, providing plenty of coolness at night. Temperatures can therefore drop significantly, resulting in a robust harvest. The harvest is hand-harvested and rigorously selected to ensure only the finest juice.

Wood aging for the Allegranza Tempranillo

Once the grapes are harvested, they are laid out on sorting tables for another rigorous selection. Allegranza's winemaker aims to create a pure and clean wine. And he's succeeded admirably. After pressing, some of this red wine is aged for up to four months in French oak barrels. During this period, it becomes fuller and more powerful without losing its smoothness.

The aroma and taste of the Allegranza Tempranillo

Yes, it's a joy to drink. It all begins the moment you open the bottle: a very ripe aroma with hints of black cherries and a touch of coffee beans. Pouring this red Allegranza Tempranillo reveals an unforgettable red-purple color. Nosing the glass, we smell a palate that evokes a Spanish feeling: beautiful spice, strawberries, chocolate, and a touch of roasted coffee beans. A quick sip and swirling palate reveal a powerful burst of red and black fruit. The real excitement begins on the back of the tongue, with rich notes of vanilla, coffee grounds, blackberries, and a hint of pepper. The finish is smooth and very ripe, making this red Allegranza Tempranillo a fantastic wine.
