The top of the range red 2010 Alfa Spiga is also produced with Tempranillo grapes from low-yielding, older vineyards, and fermented in oak vats with selected yeasts before being aged for two years in brand new French barriques. This feels different from the rest, possibly from another era, where they used more oak; and even after some time in tank and almost three years in bottle, it comes through as quite oaky and a little lactic, with plenty of smoke and sweet spices. It is supported by a nice concentration of fruit and the depth provided from the older vines they have on their property. I guess this will always remain quite oaky, so it's more for fans of the style. Traditional, generously oaked Ribera. 4,000 bottles were filled in April 2013.

This red shows impressive concentration, with a thick texture, muscular structure and deep flavors of currant, licorice and loamy earth. A bit clumsy, but should harmonize with time. Best from 2020 through 2030. 300 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
