Bodegas Vega Sicilia Macan Rioja Clasico 2020

// 100% Tempranillo

"Macán Clásico is a wine deeply rooted in its terroir, in the Rioja Sonserrana region, nestled in the foothills of the Cantabrian Mountains, where centuries of winemaking tradition, knowledge, and culture have flourished. It expresses the freshness, fruitiness, vibrancy, and delicacy of the land, adding depth and complexity. Macán Clásico grapes come from plots with calcareous soils and a clay-sand profile. 2020 was a more generous, rainy, balanced, and fluid vintage. The harvest was difficult due to Covid, but in the vineyard, we enjoyed the fruitiness of the grapes and more elegant skins. It was a year where we were able to push the extraction a bit more, and during aging, we gave more weight to the oak, especially American oak, to add more density to the wine." - Bodegas Vega Sicilia, Winemaker
