Description
Indulge in the exquisite taste of the Bodegas LAN Viña Lanciano Rioja Reserva 2019, a remarkable red wine from the prestigious Rioja Alta region of Spain. This carefully crafted wine is a splendid representation of its terroir, showcasing a harmonious blend of traditional winemaking techniques and the unique characteristics of its vineyard.
The Viña Lanciano estate is nestled on a meander of the Ebro River, where sustainable farming practices are applied across its 72 hectares of south-facing vineyards. The grapevines, predominantly trained in gobelet style, boast an average age of 35 years, producing deeply concentrated fruit notable for its balance and elegance.
In the 2019 vintage, a moderately wet winter and early spring laid the groundwork for water reserves, while a series of hailstorms tested the vineyard. However, the resulting fruit is a testament to resilience, delivering profound flavor and structure. Hand-harvested grapes underwent meticulous sorting and fermentation in small stainless-steel tanks, followed by an extensive aging process in French oak barrels, leading to a refined character.
This dry red wine presents a captivating visual appeal with its bright crimson hue and subtle purple glimmers. The bouquet is elegantly complex, offering rich aromas of ripe red and black fruits, interlaced with distinct floral notes and warm spices like clove and cinnamon. On the palate, expect a silky mouthfeel, with flavors of black cherry and blackberry compote complemented by hints of dark chocolate and a satisfying mineral backbone.
- ABV: 14%
- Grape Varieties: 88% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano, 4% Mazuelo
- Volatile Acidity: Balanced with smooth, ripe tannins
- Ideal Serving Temperature: 16-18°C
For the finest experience, consider the following serving suggestions:
- Pair with a charcuterie board featuring smoked Iberian ham, aged Manchego, and black olives to elevate the wine's savory notes.
- Enjoy alongside duck breast glazed with a cherry reduction, which beautifully complements the wine's fruit-driven character.
- Serve with mushroom risotto or a grilled portobello Wellington to create a delightful union of flavors and textures.
- For an interactive tasting experience, decant the wine and pour over dark chocolate shavings infused with smoked sea salt.
- Utilize this exquisite wine as a base for a sophisticated sangria, blending with fresh fruits and herbs for a refreshing cocktail twist.
Experience the elegance and finesse of the Bodegas LAN Viña Lanciano Rioja Reserva 2019, a quintessential Rioja that embodies the rich tradition of Spanish winemaking.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine (such as a Rioja Reserva 2019) maintain a temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) to ensure balanced aging and preservation of flavors without premature aging or muting. Avoid fluctuations to prevent damaging chemical reactions.
Store the bottle away from direct light especially sunlight as light can warm the wine and degrade quality over time.
Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork to minimize oxidation and maintain the wine’s integrity.
Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and shrinking which could allow air to enter.
Maintain humidity around 60-70% to protect the cork from drying while avoiding mold growth on labels.
For opened bottles refrigeration slows oxidation; keep opened red wine in the fridge and consume within 3-5 days. Bring it to serving temperature (~60-65°F) before drinking.
Avoid storing red wine near vibrations or strong odors to prevent disturbance and contamination of the wine’s aroma and taste.
