federico paternina
Gran Reserva
Founded in 1896, Federico Paternina established this winery on a site with cellars excavated in the 16th century in Ollauri Rioja Alta.
Its origins date back to Eduardo de Paternina, father of Federico and Marqués de Terán, one of the pioneers of modern viticulture in Rioja at the request of his close friend the Baron de Rothschild, who years before had acquired the Château Brane Mouton.
Elaboration
Selected vineyards from Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa with calcareous clay soils, located on slopes with good drainage and good sun exposure.
After careful fermentation at temperatures not exceeding 28°C, the wine is kept in vats for 12 months to allow it to stabilize.
It is then transferred to oak barrels for aging for a period of about 24 months, depending on the vintage. And finally, another 36 months in the bottle, where it continues to evolve, before going on the market.
Food match
It goes very well with a steak, a rib, or a pepper sirloin and fries.
