Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España, or CVNE for short, is one of Rioja’s elder statesmen. Founded in 1879 by the Real de Asúa brothers, the winery is today managed by their desc endant, Victor Urrutia Ybarra. "The vineyards for Cune Crianza are in Rioja Alta, and close to CVNE which makes it easy to get the grapes to the bodega in the best condition. Approximately half are our own vineyards in Haro and other nearby villages and the remainder of the grapes are bought from growers in the region. We have relied upon these growers for generations for the production of Cune Crianza and each year CVNE’s technical team monitor the vineyards and counsel the growers. The grapes come from different locations with a diversity of soils, orientations, pruning and trellising techniques and vine age. Cune Crianza is a blended wine which reflects its own typical style year after year." - Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España Show more
