The 2018 Amancio from Bodegas Sierra Cantabria is an elegant and exceptional red wine from the renowned Rioja DOCa region, reflecting the excellence and craftsmanship of the Eguren family. It is one of the bodega's iconic wines and represents the best that the Tempranillo grape variety and the Rioja terroir have to offer.
100% Tempranillo
The grapes come from a carefully cultivated single vineyard with old vines that deliver low yields and exceptional concentration.
The grapes are harvested by hand and selected berry by berry to ensure the highest quality.
After fermentation, the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months , which gives it its complexity and structure.
The Amancio is produced in limited quantities, which makes it particularly exclusive.
Colour: Deep, glossy cherry red with violet reflections, a sign of his youth and concentration.
Aroma: An expressive and complex bouquet. Ripe red and black fruits (cherries, blackberries) meld with spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla. Subtle hints of roasted notes, chocolate, leather, and balsamic notes round out the profile.
Taste: Full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins and an impressive balance of power and elegance. The fruit aromas are supported by a hint of minerality and finely integrated acidity. The long, lingering finish is characterized by finesse.
Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
Decanting: Recommended at least 1-2 hours before serving to unlock its full potential.
Food pairing: Perfect with braised lamb, beef fillet, game dishes or mature Manchego cheese.
The Amancio 2017 is a wine that expresses passion and dedication. With its luxurious character and profound complexity, it offers an unforgettable taste experience. It can be enjoyed now, but possesses an impressive aging potential of 15–20 years.
This wine is a masterpiece of Rioja and a must-have for discerning wine lovers.
