General Information
Carlos Moro Finca Picón de Zurita 2016 is a unique red wine that embodies the tradition and expertise of the Carlos Moro family. A know-how recognized in its various editions with high ratings from critics, largely due to the exceptional vineyard that gives the wine its name.
Picón de Zurita is a flat estate with sandy loam soils that have survived phylloxera. The average age of these vines is 100 years, making it one of the oldest vineyards owned by Bodegas Carlos Moro in Ribera del Duero. Its advanced age requires special care, limited production, and manual harvesting.
The grapes selected for the production of this magnificent red wine underwent three selection tables before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and subsequent malolactic fermentation in barrels. Once fermented, the wine rested in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
CM Finca Picón de Zurita 2016 is undoubtedly one of the greatest labels that form part of the Vinos de Finca, the new project by Carlos Moro focusing on single-estate wines, an initiative that highlights native grapes, expressing the utmost authenticity of each variety.
Tasting notes
Intense cardinal color with purplish reflections, very high layer.
On the nose, notes of tart black fruits, Indian ink, and dark chocolate emerge, giving way to woods, sweet spices, and toasted notes.
The palate evokes fruity and spiced memories of clove, thyme, and new woods.
The winery
Founded in 2014 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Bodega CM de Matarromera (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is another remarkable project by the renowned Castilian-Leonese winemaker Carlos Moro, owner of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. This venture was born from Carlos Moro's desire to expand Bodegas Familiares Matarromera and become part of a denomination of origin as prestigious and iconic as Rioja (prior to the creation of Bodega CM de Matarromera, Bodegas Familiares Matarromera included only wineries within the denominations of origin influenced by the Duero River).
A business project aimed at producing high-end wines and sharing the philosophy upon which Bodegas Familiares Matarromera is founded: innovation, respect for sustainability and the environment, and the pursuit of the highest quality. Bodega CM de Matarromera owns 30 hectares of its own vineyards distributed across various plots located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, as well as 60 controlled hectares situated in these towns and Ábalos.
The winery's facilities feature an impressive 300-meter-long underground cellar that houses 2,000 American and French oak barrels. Currently, Bodega CM de Matarromera produces the brands CM and Oinoz (D.O.Ca. Rioja). Additionally, this initiative also includes other select estate wines from symbolic vineyards in other denominations of origin, such as Toro, Rueda, Ribera del Duero, and Cigales.
