Wine Vivanza Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Crianza 2015

Bodegas Vivanza has managed to rescue for today that "know-how" of yesteryear and in the same "terroirs" of privileged location.

The Vivanza plant's vineyards are distributed on land of approximately 220 hectares. The land is located in the interior of the province of Alicante, Pinoso, at an altitude of around 500 metres above sea level. The vineyards are on the south-eastern slopes of the Sierra del Carche.

This area of the site provides several types of soils at our disposal. Depending on the characteristics of each site, different varieties are planted which are most suitable for growing fruit and obtaining unique wines.

The climate is characterized by very hot and not very rainy summers and cold winters.  In summer, especially, there are high temperature jumps, around 20℃ of difference between day and night, which favors the pigmentation and dryness of the wine.

The Harvest takes place between August 20th and mid October. All the vineyards are conditioned with local irrigation, each vine is watered.

Vivanza Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot 

The grape varieties are produced independently, each at its optimum moment of ripeness. They undergo pre-fermentation maceration at 10℃ to obtain greater aromatic complexity. Fermentation and maceration lasts between 10-12 days at a temperature not exceeding 25℃, to enhance the varietal characteristics of each wine. After the malolactic fermentation, the wines remain in French and American oak barrels for 6 months for ageing and roundness in an air-conditioned cellar. The blending of the two wines is done before bottling provided and maintaining the characteristics of this wine.

* Ideal to accompany rice, pasta and all kinds of cooked vegetable, fish and meat dishes. Recommended for tapas.
