Coto de Imaz: the classic elegance of Rioja
Two wines, one philosophy of excellence
The Coto de Imaz range is designed for those who value time as a fundamental ingredient in the creation of a great wine. Only the best Tempranillo grapes, harvested at their optimum point of ripeness, are used to make these wines for ageing. Ageing in oak barrels and prolonged rest in the bottle provide structure, complexity and a harmony that can only be achieved with patience and dedication.
Coto de Imaz Reserva is a well-rounded, deep wine with notes of red fruits, spices and a toasted background. It is ideal for accompanying meat, small game or mature cheeses. Coto de Imaz Gran Reserva, meanwhile, is the most solemn expression of our winery: fine, balanced, with an evolution in the glass that makes it unforgettable.
