Product notes
Deep sandy soils, 100 meters above sea level, dry Mediterranean climate.
Production notes
Manual harvest at the beginning of April, with selection of the grapes. Fermentation takes place in a stainless steel tank. Half of the harvest ferments with the grape varieties gathered in the tank, the rest with the separate grape varieties. Indigenous yeasts and short maceration, followed by blending, and the wine is stabilized by exposure to cold winter temperatures for a month and a half. The barbera does not undergo malolactic fermentation and the garnacha provides its residual sugar. The wine is filtered at the end of winter and bottled on December 28.
Tasting notes
Crimson color with deep purple reflections. Intense and harmonious aromas of wild berries, chocolate and spices. The palate is young, balanced, medium bodied, juicy and fresh, with soft, ripe tannins and lingering fruit. A hint of sweetness lingers on a long finish. Serve as an aperitif, or as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes, from white meats to cooked fish.
