Approachable Tinto Fino Crianza from the Roa de Duero plateau with red cherry, plum and vanilla from moderate oak, medium body and soft tannins.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled chorizo and patatas bravas
    The wine's moderate tannins and red fruit match the spiced sausage and smoky potato.
  • Roast lamb shoulder
    Classic Burgos pairing for this appellation style.
  • Cured Iberico ham
    The wine's light cedar and berry notes complement the savouriness of jamón.

History

Briego's entry Crianza draws on the chalky limestone-clay soils near Roa de Duero in the Burgos sector, where moderate altitude and continental climate produce Tinto Fino with natural balance and fresh red fruit character.
