PINCERNA - PRIETO PICUDO ROSÉ (2024) - Rosé 750ml

Sumiller is a great red wine aged in oak barrels, which brings out the full potential of the native Prieto Picudo variety. If you are thinking of buying prieto picudo wine, you will be pleased to know that each bottle of Pincerna Sumiller contains the wisdom of centenary vineyards, with aromas of youth. The 15-20% of Pincerna Sumiller's prieto picudo grapes come from very old vines, and are blended with prieto picudo from a younger vineyard, 25-30 years old. The old vineyard part represents the soil, that singular touch, and the young vineyard part provides the aromatic fraction. For the aging of this León prieto picudo wine, two different types of oak wood have been carefully selected to provide greater complexity. After a period of between five and seven months in barrel, it is rounded off in the bottle before being released to the market. Pincerna Sumiller is a great wine that stands out for its burgundy red color and is perfect to drink with cured cheeses, beef, pork, roast chicken or pasta. This Prieto Picudo wine is undoubtedly a flagship of Bodegas Pincerna which, surely, would have served the medieval 'pincerna' to their lords to keep them satisfied.

Tasting notes: Bordeaux red. Attractive nose with intense and complex aromas of red fruits combined with mineral touches and a pleasant background of wood. The wine has a varietal character, ripe tannins and sweet for its volume, perfectly assembled.

Food pairing recommendations: Cured cheeses, beef, pork, roast chicken and pasta.
