Drinking Window: 2020 - 2022
A free-style expression of terroir, with understated fruit and wild yeast, apple, grass and lemon-zest aromas. A style to love or to hate, but definitely one with a well-defined profile. Low alcohol and high acidity. Harmonious on the palate. It is fragrant in its peculiar aromas, but the texture and the evidence of ripe, healthy fruit indicate doubtless quality. A very attractive alternative wine from the Ribeira Sacra region, but outside the DOP.
