Bodegas Covila
Rioja Crianza 2021
A Rioja Alavesa Crianza made entirely from Tempranillo, from vineyards between Lapuebla de Labarca and higher sites at Samaniego and Laguardia. After about ten days of steel-tank fermentation, part of the malolactic happens in barrel, and the wine then spends 12 months in American and French oak. The producer describes deep black-cherry colour, dark fruit with hints of chocolate, and a velvety palate with balanced tannins.

It farms about 250 hectares of its own vineyards, on sites from the Ebro riverbanks up to higher villages such as Laguardia and Samaniego, and makes around 1.5 million bottles a year, from young reds through Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
