Description

Rodríguez Sanzo · DOCa Rioja

Tempranillo from DOCa Rioja, made by Rodríguez Sanzo. Fermentation lasts twelve to fifteen days, long enough to fix colour and fruit without drying the wine out. It then spends five months in new American oak barrels with internal incisions, giving more contact with the wood.

The winery

Rodríguez Sanzo

Family winery founded in 2003 in Valladolid by Javier Rodríguez and María Sanzo. They work with four appellations in northern Spain (Rioja, Toro, Rueda and Ribera del Duero), each with its own signature grape. In 2022 they took over a historic winery in Toro, next to the Santo Domingo convent. They practise sustainable viticulture and, on some estates, biodynamics.
