This month we propose a wine whose name already sounds like history, Gonzalo de Berceo Crianza.
Gonzalo de Berceo, was a 13th century monk and poet who lived in the Suso Monastery. He is considered the father of Spanish language. A pioneer in the use of this language, he dared to write the first verses in Spanish in which he also used wine as the main theme.
«Quiero fer una prosa en román paladino,
En qual suele el pueblo fablar a su vecino,
Ca non so tan letrado por fer otro latino:
Bien valdrá, como creo, un vaso de bon vino.»
Gonzalo de Berceo is also one of the most recognized brands of the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. A historic wine that we make from vineyards that are over 50 years old. Three varieties are part of this wine: Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. In the winery it is matured and aged in barrels for at least 12 months. Subsequently, we refine our wine in the bottle until it reaches its maximum splendor.
