Product Description
Details
Produced by Alfredo Arribas, the wine Trossos Vells is a very interesting Spanish red wine from Montsant, southern Catalonia.
This varietal Crianza red wine is made from grapes coming from several vineyards with clay soils planted with old Carignan vines.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were destemmed, cold-soaked and fermented at a controlled temperature. After the completion of alcoholic fermentation, this wine of the Portal del Priorat winery (Alfredo Arribas' project in Montsant) was aged for 11 months in used French oak barrels.
Finally, the wine Trossos Vells 2020 was blended, bottled and further aged for some months in the cellar before its release.
Decant this red wine from Montsant a minimum of 30 minutes before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine Trossos Vells is medium purple with a bluish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intense, elegant notes of black fruit, bitter cocoa, spices and flowers, alongside a deep note of liquorice. In the background, this sophisticated Carignan suggests some mineral overtones and notions of smoke and toast. |
| Palate | This wine from Alfredo Arribas conveys a sense of place while being elegant and somewhat restrained. Bitter chocolate, aromatic herbs, red berries and mineral remembrances. Mild tannins, smooth texture and refreshing acidity. Long, complex finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A terroir-oriented wine, this old-vines Carignan is nuanced and subtle. Enjoy the wine Trossos Vells 2020 with meat dishes. |
