Bodegas J. A. Calvo Casajus is located in Ribera del Duero. For generations, the Calvo and Casajús families have cultivated grapevines and produced their own artisan wines, initially for their own consumption in old cave style wineries that today, are still preserved. Today the estate is under the helm of José Alberto Calvo Casajús, who was born in Quintana del Pidio, Ribera del Duero and brought up in this winemaking culture. His enthusiasm and passion for everything that surrounds the world of wine encouraged him to found Bodegas J. A. Calvo Casajús in 1993; a modern company, equipped with the most advanced techniques, but with a deep-rooted family spirit and that preserves the most genuine of the Ribera del Duero wines.
Tasting Notes
A bright raspberry pink in the glass. Moderately intense aromas of wild berries; strawberry and raspberry. The palate is fruity with pleasant pleasant refreshing acidity and persistence. This is the type of wine you want to enjoy on a warm day as an aperitif with tapas. It would pair with a range of foods though; egg-based dishes, rice and pasta and generally lighter fare.
Method
Made from Tempranillo cultivated by the family on the sandy-loam lands of Quintana del Pidio, protected by small mountains of pine trees and scrub. The wine is made with the first grapes of the harvest. Gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel
tanks at a low temperatures, which enhances the aromatic potential of the variety while preserving the fruit characteristics, corpulence and finesse of a fine rosé. In Ribera del Duero, traditionally rosés were called «claretes».
