Bodegas y Vinedos Carlos Moro Description
CM is a red wine of the Tempranillo grape variety from DOCa Rioja, grown in our own vineyards, which are 30 to 80 years old and are located in the highest area of Sonsierra. These plots are very close to Bodega Carlos Moro and are named Gallomate, San Martín and La Rad, located at an altitude of 610 metres, in mature clay-textured soils.
The town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, known for its traditional Holy Week 'picados' penance procession, is one of the most outstanding and internationally-acclaimed wine-making regions. It is located to the north-west of La Rioja and borders with Álava along the Sierra Cantabria mountain range. Its soils and its distinctive climate are largely responsible for the quality of its wines, as the mountain range causes the 'Foehn' effect that protects the vineyards from the cold northerly winds that gather moisture as they arrive from the Cantabrian Sea.
The grapes used to make this wine have been selected and harvested by hand in 10-kg crates. They undergo malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks and then stand in French (65%) and American (35%) oak barrels for 12 months.
