Senorio De P. Pecina Rioja Crianza 2017

Bodegas Hermanos de Peciña is firmly planted in the old school camp of Rioja production. Although the estate was started only in 1992, its founder, Pedro Peciña had worked for over 20 years before that as the head agronomist for La Rioja Alta, learning all facets of production and especially the planting and managing of all the estate’s vineyards. 

The Crianza is 95% Tempranillo, 3% Graciano, 2% Garnacha and spends 2 years in wood and 1 year in bottle before being released. The vineyards are all estate owned and located in the San Vicente zone of Rioja Alta. Depending on the vintage the grapes come from a combination of 3 vineyards. El Codo with vines on average 30 years, El Llano with vines on average 35 years and Iscorta with vines on average of 60 years. It is a wonderfully complex ‘little’ traditional Rioja, with notes of cedar and tobacco. 

Practicing organics and sustainability.
