Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Bodegas Montecillo was founded by Celestino Navajas in La Rioja Alta. Deep Ruby with ripe berry fruit and spicy aromas. On the palate cherry and ripe plum flavors with cedar, vanilla and sweet notes. Tannins are firm with nice mouthfeel, medium ending with a ripe fruit structure. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Full-bodied, flavours of cherry and blackberry. Not too tannic and fairly smooth.

Deep red with purple hues. Medium + acidity, tannins are subtle. Sweetness from the fruity notes but still fairly dry.
