CARMELO RODERO | CRIANZA 2021 MAGNUM

Product Sheet – Crianza Magnum 2021 (1.5L)

Carmelo Rodero Crianza Magnum 2021 is the large format edition of the classic Crianza from the winery located in Pedrosa del Duero, Ribera del Duero. This version magnifies its structure and evolution thanks to its prolonged aging in wood and refinement in the bottle.

Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks, incorporating 10% Cabernet Sauvignon into the blend to add varietal complexity. It then spends 15 months in French and American oak barrels, with quarterly rackings, followed by at least 12 months of rest in bottle before release.
