Mancuso - Cariñena DOP - Garnacha - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

Infused and delicate Grenache, the 2020 Red Cariñena Mancuso Garnacha opens with a pure, floral nose of peony and stone fruits, offering a warm and inviting bouquet. Born from high-altitude terroirs, with 50-60 year-old vines and low yields, it delivers a powerful juice with a silky texture and velvety tannins. This is a rich and profound wine, perfect for pairing with ribeye steak or spiced marinated meats. One of the highest quality Grenaches in the region! Rated 93+/100 by Parker.
