Campillo 57 Gran Reserva

The Campillo 57 Gran Reserva is a Rioja with a real backbone: dense fruit profile, long aging, classic structure — named after the year 1957, in which Julio Faustino Martínez took over the management of the group.

Bodegas Campillo lies in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, where calcareous soils and the continental climate of the Meseta provide the foundation for long-lived Tempranillo wines. Gran Reserva here means at least two years in oak barrels and three more in the cellar—a combination that translates into depth and maturity.

In the glass, it displays a rich ruby ​​red color with garnet highlights. The nose offers ripe sour cherry and blackberry, enveloped in vanilla and dark chocolate from oak aging, along with a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a finish that oscillates between cocoa bean and dried berries.
