The wine region of Colorado
Colorado is a state in the western United States, bordered by NewMexico to the South and Wyoming to the North.

Grapes grown at this altitude produce wine with vibrant, intense colors and aromas created by the intense sunlight and cool nights.
The word of the wine: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
