WINE MAKING PROCESS
Campo Alto Crianza is produced by Bodegas Valdelacierva using 100% Tempranillo grapes. The harvest is conducted by hand. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures of 25-28°C for 5-7 days, followed by a post-fermentative maceration for 12-15 days at 22°C. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak barrels, with 80% being American oak and 20% French oak, before a minimum of three months of bottle aging.
