CVNE Imperial Rioja Reserva 2020 TAGS Same Monthelie terroir as Etienne'sImperial is CVNE's crown jewel, made only in strong years from old vine parcels in three Rioja Alta villages. The name goes back to the 1920s, when the house bottled a special cuve in the old 'imperial' pint format for the British market.
