Pruno Red wine
Pruno is a remarkable red wine from the renowned Ribera del Duero designation of origin, produced by Finca Villacreces in 2021. This exquisite wine is a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, showcasing a sophisticated aging process of 12 months in French oak barrels. The result is a dark cherry color with violet hues, displaying a clean, bright appearance and dense tears.
On the nose, Pruno reveals a medium-high intensity, full of freshness and clarity. The inviting aromas of fresh red fruit harmoniously intertwine with subtle wood notes imparted during its maturation. As the wine opens up, deeper layers emerge, featuring ripe black fruit, roasted and dairy undertones, along with spices, liquorice, and vanilla. Delicate floral hints and intense balsamic notes add complexity to its aromatic profile.
On the palate, Pruno offers a powerful yet refreshing entry, delivering a savory and meaty journey with well-presented fruit that feels slightly liqueur-like. It boasts a well-defined acidity and an intense tannic sensation, culminating in a medium to long finish. You may experience a pleasant, light bitterness and a spicy persistence that lingers after each sip.
Pruno is an excellent pairing for complex salads, meat-based rice dishes, roasted lamb, grilled red meats, hearty roasts, small game, and beef dishes. This wine not only captivates with its depth and character but also promises to enhance your dining experience with its versatility and richness. Enjoy the masterpiece that is Pruno, a true representation of Spanish winemaking excellence.
