The Bancal del río wine from Pago del Vicario is a bold and expressive interpretation of the Petit Verdot variety, a grape that demands time and maturity, and has found the Mediterranean climate to be the perfect environment to showcase its full potential. This single-varietal, with eight months aging in new French oak barrels, reflects viticulture adapted to the terroir, where extended ripening translates into intense and rounded fruity sensations, very different from those offered in its origin, Bordeaux.
Visually, it shows a deep cherry red color with violet reflections that anticipate its intensity. Its nose reveals a complex and fresh aroma, with notes of red forest fruits, spicy touches of cinnamon, and a mentholated balsamic background intertwined with subtle hints of tobacco.
On the palate, its power and meaty texture make it a full-bodied and structured wine. Ripe fruit dominates the palate, accompanied by a minerality that accentuates its personality. The barrel aging adds balance without masking the varietal character, making this red an elegant wine with great length and excellent persistence.
Ideal to serve between 14 and 16 ºC, Bancal del río is a solid choice for those seeking to discover the full potential of Petit Verdot cultivated under optimal conditions and with its own style.
