The wine
Founded in 1969 in Elciego, a picturesque village in the Rioja Alavesa, Viña Salceda has been making quality red wines with a strong personality ever since. Viña Salceda Crianza is made from a coupage of Tempranillo (95%) with a small contribution of Mazuelo and Graciano (5%), aged for at least 12 months in American oak barrels, a wine with intense and very fruity aromas dominated by ripe black fruits (sloe, plum), with smoky and spicy notes (black pepper). On the palate, it offers a broad entry and a pleasant, full-bodied mouthfeel. Balanced, with good persistence and hints of black fruit (blackcurrant, vanilla and spices) on the finish. Ideal with meat stews, risottos, pasta and gratins.
