In the 300 cl double magnum and in the 1-bottle original wooden case, this Spanish red wine is suitable for larger groups, shared meals or cellaring.
Producer: Reserve de Don Carlos CA feat. Cherubino Valsangiacomo, Chiva
Don Carlos combines Spanish wines with Swiss roots. The history of the bodega reaches back to the early 19th century: the ancestors of Carlos Valsangiacomo were already producing wine in Ticino in 1831. Today, the winery in Valencia is run by the fifth generation. Modern cellar technology enables the production of both classic and modern wines from local as well as international grape varieties.
