Rioja Pies Negros 2021 Artuke

Rioja - Negros Pies 2021

ぶどう踏みの足跡に、敬意を込めて。

「ピエス・ネグロ」の名は、かつてのぶどう踏み職人の足跡に捧げられたもの。この造り手では今もその習慣が受け継がれています。畑の標高と相まって生まれるフレッシュさが、リオハらしさをまっすぐに伝えます。スミレがかったチェリー色、ブラックベリーと甘草にスミレのフローラルが溶け合う香り。ジューシーな果実味と果皮のタンニンのバランスがよく、微かな苦味を残してすいすいと進みます。テンプラニーリョの入り口に。

Tasting note

It is a cherry color with a hint of violet, and shows very fruity characteristics. The juicy fruitiness and the tannins of the skin are well balanced, and the taste is like a candy without any complexity. The slight bitterness makes it easy to drink. The aroma is a fusion of blackberry and licorice with floral nuances of violets. When you put it in your mouth, it spreads throughout your mouth, is lactic and well-balanced, and is sweet and seductive overall.

Food pairing

Meat and rice, Iberian cold cuts, duck breast

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation

This village wine is made from grapes harvested in the town of Abalos, at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria. The vineyards, which are on calcareous soil, were first planted in the 1920s with the utmost respect for the environment.
Located 600m above sea level, it is well shaped by the Atlantic Ocean.

brewing

The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed and crushed to allow the must to ferment, a small portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels, followed by 12 months of ageing in barrels of different ages to preserve the main tones of the grapes.
