The 2017 Dominio Romano RDR is an expressive top-tier wine from Ribera del Duero. Dominio Romano is known for its small-scale production and focus on old Tempranillo vines, which produce wines with impressive concentration, finesse, and expression of terroir. The 2017 vintage combines ripe fruit with structure and excellent balance.<\/p>\n
The grapes come from carefully selected plots with old vines growing in limestone- and clay-rich soils. After careful aging in French oak barrels, the wine develops great aromatic complexity, velvety-soft tannins, and a long, elegant finish.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, plums, violets, cedar, vanilla, cocoa, espresso, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is powerful and refined, with ripe tannins, a lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine about one hour in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, Iberian pork, game, stews, and aged cheeses.<\/p>\n
Dominio Romano is one of the modern, high-quality producers in Ribera del Duero. Thanks to old Tempranillo vines, low yields, and meticulous winemaking, the estate produces wines with great depth, finesse, and a distinct character. The RDR cuv\u00e9e is an excellent representative of the appellation.<\/p>\n
