• Exhibitor: AVELINO VEGAS
• Brand name: F
• Sector: VINO TINTO CON D.O. CRIANZA

An unique wine elaborated from our oldest vineyards in D.O. Ribera del Duero.                We elaborate this wine only those years when the vintage was exceptional in quality. This vintage, 2012, has the power and elegance from the Tempranillo grape that is uncommon in regular yearly production

The wine: Intense cherry red color with ruby borders. With a great finesse, elegance and intensity on the nose, it displays spicy and mineral notes, over a roasted and with ripe black fruits background (plum and prune). On the palate it is full, potent, high concentrated with present tannins but very polished finish. Very good structured, greasy and rounded. Very long lasting end.
