Needing help on finding information on a Spanish wine.

[wondersofwine]

It is apparently from the Tempranillo grape which is called Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero and certain other parts of Spain. If the wine is quite old, it may have partially oxidized. Was the color a vibrant red or leaning more toward browns? Champana refers to a sparkling wine made in the method Champenoise (made in the style of Champagne). Espumante might mean made with bubbles. Did the wine exhibit any bubbles upon first opening the bottle? It may only be saying that this company also produces bubbly and sparkling wines, not that that is what is in this bottle.
