2132 – RED WINE AL ALMODI OF ALTAVINS – D.O. TERRA ALTA

Characteristics: Finding wines made with hairy Grenache is not easy, even less if we think of monovarietal wines, and practically impossible if we don’t want the price of the bottle to skyrocket; even so, this Almodí complies all the aforementioned conditions, as it is a single varietal hairy Grenache of exceptional quality.

Description: The hairy Grenache is found in Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Alicante and southern France. Disused for years due to its supposed vegetal profile, modern oenology has made it possible to produce wines full of personality in which the aromas of wild fruits dominate the vegetables, while elegance and delicacy take over the whole. As a curiosity, it is important to know that its name derives from the villi that form on the back of the leaves.

• Nose: Its aroma is seductive, balsamic, purely Mediterranean. The tones of the bush are combined with notes of wild fruit.
