Norzagarai Carralciego 2018
Norzagarai Vinos Autenticos is Santiago's one-man project. Originally Basque, he found the vineyards in Rioja Alavesa from which he wanted to make wine. Keywords: low intervention wine, single Vineyard, elegance.
Graciano is one of the older grape varieties in Rioja, used by many in blends with the more widely planted Tempranillo. Santiago believes that the grape deserves to be in the spotlight itself. Arreta was born.
This Arreta is made for the future. A bit strict in its youth, but after a few years of bottle aging, the full potential of this wine is revealed.
