The tasting of Legaris Calmo has two phases. At the beginning there is an explosion of ripe black fruit and sweetness, perfumed and clean. On the palate it is very balanced and long. When it has been in the glass for a while and has opened up, it expresses itself in all its registers. The fruit remains, but now it is integrated with the aromas provided by the careful selection of barrels.

Legaris is a modern winery, belonging to the Grupo Codorníu located in La Seca (Valladolid). The technical direction, both in the field and in the winery, comes from the hands of the winemaker who produces reds from the same brand in the Ribera del Duero.
The planting of the first vines took place in 1999. At present, the winery cultivates the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties and has almost 100 hectares of vineyards.
