Making process
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed and transferred almost entirely to the tanks. Subsequently, a cold pre-fermentation maceration of 24 hours is carried out. The alcoholic fermentation occurs at 25-26 ºC in tanks to enhance varietal expression. The total maceration lasts for 10-12 days. Afterwards, the wine completes the malolactic fermentation spontaneously in stainless steel tanks.
Aging
After the malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, this Tempranillo wine was transferred to 225-litre French and American oak barrels, where it aged for 3 months before being released on the market.
Vineyard
Description
Tionio Special Edition 2024 comes from various plots of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) situated in areas close to the Duero River, in the provinces of Valladolid and Burgos, with a notable part in Finca La Asperilla, in Peñafiel, and in the Pago de Casar, in Pesquera de Duero. These vineyards are at approximately 750 metres above sea level, where the proximity to the river provides freshness and the clayey plot facing the castle promotes a balanced ripening. From these vines, an expressive and structured profile is obtained, with the characteristic identity of the Ribera del Duero region.
Climate
The plots of Tionio Edición Especial 2024 are located in areas close to the Duero River, in the provinces of Valladolid and Burgos, at around 750 metres above sea level. This location provides a pronounced freshness to the vineyard environment and helps the grapes reach good ripeness while maintaining acidity and balance.
Viticulture
The winery selects different plots located near the Duero River, in Valladolid and Burgos, and cultivates its vineyards following the principles of organic viticulture. The La Asperilla estate, in Peñafiel, provides the most emblematic core of this project, designed to produce ripe, balanced grapes with character.
Tasting notes
Nose
Tionio Special Edition 2024 presents a nose focused on ripe black fruit, intense and well-defined. The toasted nuances from its time in barrel naturally integrate and add depth. Smooth, precise, and enveloping.
Mouth
Enjoy a mature and elegant palate impression, where ripe black fruit combines with a subtle touch of its ageing in barrel, contributing structure and complexity; its freshness balances the whole and leaves an balanced sensation, with good volume and a persistent finish that invites you to continue drinking.
