Maturana tinta
DNA analysis seems to link it to the Castets variety, which has practically disappeared in France, its country of origin.
In terms of the wine’s parameters, its violet red colour intensity and anthocyanin content are high, plus a high acidity too. On the palate, it’s structured and has a medium-long persistence.
Due to its originality, it is another example of the great diversity of Rioja wines.
