Winemaker Notes:
The 2017 vintage was characterised by challenging weather conditions. After a very cold winter, the worst April frost in 25 years significantly affected vineyards in the wine regions of northern Spain, southern France and northern Italy. Fortunately, not all the Pinea vines had budded by then, thanks in part to the cooler spring temperatures in the higher areas of our vineyards The cooler autumn weather allowed for very slow ripening and, finally, in the second half of October we hand-picked a very small crop of the highest quality grapes. The combination of low yields and careful selection of grapes from Cardisanto’s best terroir resulted in a great concentration of flavours and weapons for the 2017 vintage of PINEA.
Points:
94 - James Suckling
"It is full-bodied, with juicy, polished tannins and a long, tasty finish. Plenty of intense, concentrated fruit. Drink or hold. As dense and dark as a young Port, but much less alcoholic, this is a concentrated and elegant Ribera del Duero that has a long, polished finish."
