D.O.Ca. Rioja / Arnegui
Arnegui Viento Norte
Viento Norte is not just a name, it is the essence of a wine that reflects the uniqueness of the vineyards of Rioja Alta. On the northern and ascending face of the Sierra de Cantabria, where the Cantabrian wind caresses the land, magic is born. The cold air cools and condenses, releasing a rain that gives life to the vines. As it descends, it becomes a drier, higher temperature air mass. This curious atmospheric effect gives the grapes and vineyards unique characteristics of freshness and intensity. This wine enlarges the already successful Arnegui range that have received numerous awards in national and international competitions.

Technical Information
The maceration and fermentation process seeks maximum extraction of fruit and colour. Subsequently, the wine remains in second-year barrels for approximately 12 months, which provides its unique characteristics.
