Be bold, babe.

Let it be known that 2023 is the year of the bold, powerful red. And we cannot think of a wine more aptly suited for such a year other than Norzagarai’s Carralciego – a structured and leathery blend of Tempranillo (85%) and Garnacha (15%) from Rioja Alavesa. The wine was fermented in stainless steel to keep it lifted, and aged in oak for added structure and spicy tobacco characteristics.

Santiago Norzagarai grew up in Buenos Aires, away from vineyards but always had a passion for wine.
Wine was the key ingredient to his social life, so he moved to Spain and studied biology to get a foot in the door of the wine business.
He moved back to Europe and worked at wineries in Beaujolais and Provence to learn the trade.
Santiago started making his own wines in Spain in 2010, and his first vintage was released in 2014.
