El Pícaro Red wine
El Pícaro is a remarkable red wine from the renowned Bodegas Matsu, crafted in the esteemed Denomination of Origin Toro. The 2023 vintage showcases the exceptional qualities of the Tinta de Toro grape, delivering a full-bodied and expressive taste experience. The meticulous manual harvest occurred between September 14 and October 6, ensuring that only the finest grapes were selected. The grapes were transported in small trailers to preserve their quality, followed by a two-month aging process on their lees in concrete deposits, enhancing the wine's complexity.
Visually, El Pícaro captivates with its intense cherry color and high density, complemented by violet edges that hint at its vibrant character. The wine is clean and brilliantly bright, inviting you to explore its aromatic profile. On the nose, expect a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, which develops greater complexity over time, revealing subtle floral and vanilla notes alongside a delicate mineral background.
On the palate, El Pícaro offers a powerful and enjoyable attack, where the red fruit flavors transition smoothly into toasted notes, creating a harmonious balance. Its velvety texture and delightful taste leave a lasting impression, thanks to sweet yet slightly dry tannins. The wine culminates in an excellent finish, providing rich and indulgent sensations that linger.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it an ideal companion for pastas with meat sauce, cured meats, roasted pork, grilled red meats, and aged sheep cheeses. Whether you are hosting a casual get-together or enjoying a cozy meal at home, El Pícaro is sure to elevate your dining experience to new heights.
