2024 Dominio de Elbio Salvio, Ribera del Duero (MAGNUM)
An intense and modern Ribera del Duero in magnum format – perfect for grilling, hearty meat dishes, and festive occasions.
Grapes and Vinification
2024 Dominio de Elbio Salvio is crafted from Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) sourced from select vineyards in Ribera del Duero. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified with temperature control to preserve fruit, structure, and freshness. The wine is subsequently partially aged in oak, which adds depth and rounded tannins without overpowering the fruit. The magnum format contributes to slower maturation and exceptionally harmonious development.
