La Union Maceracion Carbonica

Marqués de Arviza · Rioja, Spain

It is a wine with a cherry red color and a shiny appearance, with amethyst edges. On the nose, it expresses itself with aromas of berries (blackberry, raspberry) and floral tones, with a touch of licorice. Very aromatic. In the mouth, it is broad and powerful, meaty; well-balanced palate, with a fruity sensation. Pleasant finish, with a gentle bitterness that extends the sip. The hints of red fruits in the nasal retro give it a refreshing and lively tone that invites you to drink.
