Mineral red. Delicious. A Senda Vermella is Caiño and Mencía from several parcels in Rías Baixas. The vines range in age from 15-95 years and are planted on sandy and granitic soils. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and foot-trod in plastic vats, with the Caiño and the Mencía separated. Native yeast fermentation began while the juice macerated with its skins for 21 days before pressing in a vertical press. Malolactic fermentation completed in used French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, where the wine rested until bottling. — 4 months ago

One of my absolute favorites, but I have to order it from Italy. Vernaccia nera grape — 7 months ago
Nose is so inviting. Like fresh baked bread (metaphorically). Floral bouquet. As it opens this sweet cherry licorice. Very good. Streaks of lilacs.
Palate is mid season cherries. Savory. Elegantly rich. Juicy. Wow. Perfect balance. A micron of bitterness that just balances this out. Expansive internal aromatics. On the hint of plum side of cherry. But not blowsy. Finish has that almost sweet affect even though it’s obviously dry. Wow.
Finish is sick.
Fass selections.
Yet another brilliant Italian winery not on the “approved list” that no one bought. God. What a tragedy. This is so good. — 9 months ago
Full bodied and fruity but with balanced acidity. No oak or tannins great with spiced lamb chops — 2 years ago
