Tinto Crianza

Pago de los Capellanes is a family winery that began in the heart of the DO Ribera del Duero. Paco, along with his father Doroteo, tended their family vineyard, a plot that had belonged to the town's chaplains centuries ago. This small vineyard of the native Tempranillo variety was the beginning of the project for Paco Rodero and his wife Conchita Villa. Since then, they have worked the vines to supply wineries in Ribera del Duero and to found their own winery, where they have been making wines for 20 years. The vineyards of Pago de los Capellanes are planted with the Tinto Fino or Tempranillo variety, the native grape of Ribera del Duero. Although initially only a few selected strains were used, year after year they have been multiplying their best clones.

Very intense, bright cherry color, with cardinal highlights. Very straightforward on the nose, with a good balance of fruit and wood, blending lactic and vanilla tones with ripe fruit, black berries, and forest fruits. Notes of leather and licorice, typical of the blend of French oak and varietal aromas, stand out. The palate is smooth, yet filling with balanced flavors, echoing the nasal sensations and also perceiving fine tannins that contribute to lengthening its life, ending with a long, elegant finish and aftertaste.
