Vicentino Red Wine Pinot Noir 2020

Vincentian

Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park

Planted in clay-schist and sandy-loam soils, with low production potential, the Vicentino grape varieties boast their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the land acts as a stimulus to the quality of the grapes that are formed, promoting an ideal concentration of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. Achieving this balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, allows us to obtain an excellent raw material.

Manual harvesting into 15 kg boxes and careful selection of the best grapes upon arrival at the winery. The grapes are then destemmed, but around 20% of the grapes are added as whole bunches. Confirmation takes place over 8 days, followed by a prolonged maceration period of 4 weeks.

For 12 months 60% in new 228-liter French oak barrels and 40% in used 500-liter French oak barrels.

Open ruby ​​in color. The aroma is marked by notes of ripe cherries and raspberries, surrounded by a slight toast and graphite from the barrels where it was aged. In the mouth, it is a vibrant wine, with a lot of minerality, showing a subtle herbaceousness, complexifying the whole and suggesting great potential for evolution. The finish is long, fresh and salty.
