The Martínez Corta family works its own vineyards
since 4 generations. They are settled in Uruñuela, a tiny village of less than
1,000 inhabitants of Rioja Alta subregion. This Cepas Antiguas Selección
Privada 2010 is made just with Tempranillo grapes from 70-years-old vines. After
a double maceration, the wine goes into new French barrels, where it completes
malolactic fermentation and a 7 months ageing. The result is this elegant,
balanced and pleasant wine of an excellent vintage.
