Buy Crianza Red wine

The term "crianza red wine" is a very common term used in many of Spain's appellations of origin, with the community of La Rioja being the originator. This category is the starting point for those wines that have remained in contact with barrels, vats or foudres and have subsequently rested in the bottle. In La Rioja, for example, a crianza red wine must be aged for a minimum of two years in barrel and bottle, with a minimum of one year in barrel and six months in bottle.

In the past, many winemakers associated the concept of crianza with the quality of the wine and so the better their wines were, the longer they aged them. Nowadays this concept is somewhat outdated, so the winemaker varies the aging time depending on the variety, the plot, the climate, the structure of the wine, etcetera.
