Tasting notes Cune Imperial Reserva 2020

Red wine Reserva. 24 months in French and American oak barrels and 12 meses en botella.

Cune Imperial Reserva 2020 is a red wine that initially presents a reticent nose, but upon opening, reveals a harmonious and fresh balance characteristic of a well-structured classic from Rioja. Its aromas blend ripe forest fruits, subtle spices, notes of cigar box, and a mineral touch reminiscent of ash and wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and refined, with firm yet gentle tannins, leaving a persistent finish that invites the appreciation of every nuance. A Rioja red with presence and distinction, perfect for accompanying red meats, game, or cheeses, and for those who appreciate tradition without forgoing freshness and complexity.

About Cune Imperial Reserva

Cune Imperial Reserva is an oak-aged red wine crafted from the tempranillo, mazuela, and graciano grape varieties by CVNE within the DOCa Rioja.
 
CVNE is a Rioja winery established in 1879 in the heart of the Barrio de la Estación de Haro, in Rioja Alta. Since then, five generations have cultivated the vineyard with a commitment to traditional practices, consistently producing high-quality Rioja wines. 
 
Cune Imperial Reserva originates from an estate with vines over 40 years old, planted in poor sandy and limestone soils. Traditional agriculture is practiced, and the harvest is done manually in 20 kg boxes, with the finest grapes selected directly in the vineyard.
 
In the winery, the grapes of Cune Imperial Reserva undergo fermentation in French oak vats, where they remain for several days to extend maceration. Subsequently, the malolactic fermentation and aging take place in French and American oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months.
 
Cune Imperial Reserva is a wine produced only in years when the harvest is deemed exceptional. Its name was adopted following a special bottling intended for export to England under the name “Pinta Imperial.”
