CANENE

FAMILY SELECTION
RIOJA

The name CANENE refers to the affectionate way my grandmother, an ever-present member of our family, used to call me and my son, her great-grandson Mario.
With the design of this label and this Selección de la Familia wine, we wanted to pay tribute, as reflected in its text, to the members of our family who are no longer with us and who have left us their legacy and that we want to pass on to the new generations as my father did, always making wines in a natural and artisanal way in our small family winery.

ELABORATION

This wine is made with Tempranillo grapes from three small vineyards of low production, with an average age of 65 years. One of them of gravelly soil near the banks of the Ebro, another of clay soil and the third of very sandy soil. Harvesting is done by hand.

It is made in an open concrete tank. At the optimum moment of fermentation, a small quantity of raw grapes is added and the grapes are crushed by hand. It is devatted and will finish its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks.

This process was carried out in the past so that the wines would last longer without losing their organoleptic qualities, since they did not contain additives for their preservation and the acidity of the raw grapes itself helped in this regard.

Since its elaboration in 2020 it has remained resting in the concrete tank until it was transferred to barrels and finally a period in bottle.

OBSERVATIONS

TAS
TING

Ruby red colored wine, clean and bright with a medium layer.

The first notes are of fresh red and black fruits: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries... As it opens, very subtle and delicate oak notes emerge from its time in oak barrels.

The primary flavors of fresh fruit return. It is a vibrant and refreshing wine, fine and elegant, with a marked acidity that denotes that it will be a wine for cellaring. It is well balanced and structured, with a long, savory finish.

PAIRING

To be enjoyed in company. Reminiscent of the wines of yesteryear. A return to the riojas of the village where the concrete was the container where the wines were refined, perfect to accompany traditional meals with both spoon dishes and tasty stews, through meats and grilled vegetables or to nibble with some sausages, cheeses, anchovies...
