Livius Tempranillo from Bodegas Alvia is an elegant Spanish wine from the Rioja region. Initially, this wine from Spain also develops a beautiful cherry red color in the glass. This is followed by a ruby red cloak. Moreover, this wine already surprises with the first aromas on the nose. Overall, the scent is very fruity. However, it is the aroma of ripe fruit, which dominates the bouquet. Shorty after nuances of dark berries and vanilla emerge. But most convincing is the first impression on the palate. Especially, since it is full of fruits and harmony. Furthermore, the Livius Tempranillo immediately develops the typical aromas of dark berries and candied fruits. Of course, this turns then intro hints of chocolate and toffee. But overall, this wine is a successful and well-balanced fruit bomb, which also scores with a certain freshness.

Therefore, this wine goes very well with hearty dishes such as meatloaf or lamb. Especially since the wine is round and full-bodied, which works quite well with dark sauces. In addition, Livius Tempranillo can also be paired with raw meat such as tartar.

About the maturation

Especially the maturation is very upfront here. And that despite the fact that it only matures 18 months in oak barrels. This proves us that the oak barrels overy well combined and put to use. In other words there are three different barriques, which they used. On the one hand, the wine ages in traditional oak barrels from France. This develops the elegance. And after this the wine matures in Hungarian and American oak barrels. Very unusual for this region!

About the cultivation of Livius Tempranillo

The tempranillo vines grow similar to the ones for the other wines of Bodegas Alvia 650 meters above sea level. Of course, next to the Way of St. James as well. In fact, they grow in a beautiful vineyard right next to the actual path. Furthermore, the winemakers focus on the quality of the grapes and control almost every vine during harvest. This is the only way to stand out in such a region in order to compete with other wines from Spain.
