Albillo 2021 (López Cristóbal)
The greater albillo has always been the great secret of Ribera del Duero. Present in the area since the Middle Ages, it provided identity to its rosés and reds. But with it they make great targets for aging. Like this one, with a gastronomic profile and designed to last over time. It is fermented in barrels and aged in contact with its lees in those same barrels for three months, and then spends three more months in the bottle. It’s wine fresh, elegant, deep and with a guarding soul. On the nose it presents mineral notes, combined with hints of citrus and white fruitwhich coexist in harmony with pleasant balsamic nuances. Balanced in the mouth, it shows lively, well put together, unctuous, with a balanced acidity and a long and persistent finish. €16.75.
