Graciano the Boot-Twister

A rare 100% Graciano from Rioja - powerful, fresh, and modernly aged in French oak.

The Tuercebotas Graciano Crianza from Bodegas del Medievo is a notable exception in Rioja: the Graciano grape is rarely vinified on its own here. The result is a wine with intense fruit expression, lively acidity, and an elegant structure that perfectly reflects the modernist style of this bodega.

Grapes & Vinification

100% Graciano, fermented under temperature control and aged in new French oak for 12 months. Intense cherry red with purple reflections, aromas of cherry, cloves, and toasted notes, with ripe tannins and a fresh, well-integrated acidity.
