There are minuscule volumes produced of the Cirsion by Bodegas Roda (the name of the thistle which is Roda's logo) which is made from grapes specially selected for the suppleness of the tannins they deliver. Parcels selected are from low-yielding older Tempranillo vines of 45 years and more, from four vineyards. Choosing the plants with the softest tannins, this makes the wine very attractive and supple early on, but it still has great ageing potential.

The jewel in LAN’s crown. A Reserva made only in vintages that are classed as excellent from the most prestigious area of Viña Lanciano - Pago el Rincón. 87% tempranillo, 13% graciano.
