750ml Heraclio Alfaro Crianza Red Wine (Alpiste)

This wine stands out for its area of origin, the warmest of the three sub-zones of Rioja. It offers greater fruit expression and softness, making it a very easy-to-drink wine, flexible in pairings and ideal for all types of palates. It differs from other Riojas due to its varietal composition, in which Garnacha predominates, the flagship grape of Rioja Oriental.
