Hermanos Pecina Crianza Rioja

Bodegas Hermanos Peciña is a family-run winery established in 1992 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja Alta by Pedro Peciña Crespo and his children, rooted in a deep respect for traditional Rioja winemaking. Drawing on Pedro’s long experience as a vineyard manager at one of Rioja’s most esteemed estates, the winery farms around 50 hectares of estate vineyards on calcareous-clay soils, with many vines around 40-60 years old.

The team embraces classic methods — hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentation, and labour-intensive gravity-fed “trasiego” racking — aging wines in used American oak barrels and extended bottle maturation to preserve purity of fruit and texture, producing elegant, expressive wines that reflect Rioja’s heritage. 

Among their core wines, the Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza Rioja exemplifies the estate’s traditionalist philosophy: a blend dominated by Tempranillo (with small amounts of Graciano and Garnacha) that is fermented naturally and then aged for about two years in used American oak barrels with periodic manual rackings before spending significant time in bottle.

The result is a medium-bodied Rioja Crianza with ripe red fruit, spice and cedar nuances, balanced acidity and polished tannins — a wine that bridges youthful vibrancy with more developed savory complexity and pairs beautifully with classic Spanish cuisine.
