Description

Mariano J. Lacort - Gran Reserva Rioja is a distinguished red wine that represents the pinnacle of Rioja's aging tradition. Crafted primarily from Tempranillo, with a small percentage of other approved varietals, this Gran Reserva is aged for an extended period—typically a minimum of 24 months in oak barrels followed by additional years in the bottle. This extended aging process imparts deep complexity, elegant structure, and a well-integrated balance of fruit and oak, making it a highly sought-after wine for collectors and enthusiasts.
