Spain, Rioa DOCa
Hermanos Peciña was founded in 1992 by Pedro Peciña, who worked as La Rioja Alta's vineyard manager for 18 years. Pedro not only spent nearly two decades as a vineyard manager but also comes from a very long line of winemakers. Pedro has brought his family roots and decades growing in Rioja to his precious winery, doing things the 'old school way' that were common in Rioja 40 years ago such as aging his wines longer than is required by law. Today, the practicing organic estate is made up of 50 hectares of vineyards located on the border of Rioja Alta and Alvesa. This red is a blend of 95% Tempranillo, 3% Graciano and 2% Garnacha all hailing from a single vineyard with vines grown on calcerous clay soils.The grapes are harvested by hand before they are aged three years in barrel and three years in bottle before being released to the market. With a balanced acidity and tasting notes of black fruit and herbs complemented by subtle notes of vanilla this wine pairs well with pasta arrabbiata or chile rellenos.
