Gramona Bru Pinot Noir 2019

Tasting note:

Appearance: Medium intense garnet tone with raspberry tints.

Nose: Intense and concentrated. Wild fruit in season (blackberries and currants). A floral nuance (violets) merges with the aromatic notes of the wine's aging: vanilla, pepper, tobacco leaves and notes of chocolate.

On the palate: Strong attack, medium body, pronounced tannin. Retronasal aromas of dark fruit, spices and a touch of tapenade, complemented by a long and lively acidity in the finish.

Elaboration:

Once harvested, the grapes pass through the selection table for a second screening of the best fruits. Afterwards, both pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation take place in a 3,000-liter foudre.
During production, traditional, non-aggressive bazuqueos are produced for two weeks to preserve the silkiness of the tannins.
Once the fermentation is finished, only the bleeding wine is used, with which the 300-liter Allier French oak barrels (fine grain and medium toast) are filled, where the malolactic fermentation and the subsequent aging with fine lees take place spontaneously until the beginning of spring. The wine will spend a total of eight months in 33% new barrels and then it will go to the bottle where it will finish refining.
