Modern and fresh, the 2021 Red Exopto Rioja Bozeto benefits from a sober aging process that preserves its fruitiness and purity. A blend of Grenache (60%), Tempranillo, and Graciano, it unfurls a delicate aromatic bouquet of fruit and spices, perfectly ripe, with hints of smoky stone against a backdrop of macerated black fruits.
