Sangarida is a project of the children of Robustiano Fariña, who runs the ATTIS winery in Rías Baixas with his brother Baldomero.
The Pico Tuerto from 100% Mencia comes from ancient vineyards from the planting year 1901 and 1910. With single vines Doña Blanca, the vines stand at a good 600 metres above sea level on loamy soils with lime and iron content. Harvested by hand and aged on the lees in new and used 500-litre French oak barrels for 12 months.
Color
Dark purple with black core and violet reflections.
Nose
The 2020 Sangarida Pico Tuerto smells deep and dark of black cherries, Amarena and blackberries. Despite its concentration and density, the fruit is nevertheless fresh and has no cooked notes, but steams out of the chalice juicy with transparent freshness. Dried blueberries and high-percentage dark chocolate mingle with discreet floral notes of small violets.
Mouth
Full-bodied and juicy on the nose, it has a clear structural contour. The strikingly tart fruit is surrounded by tightly woven tannins, and the aroma oscillates between fruit, dark dark chocolate and espresso foam. On the palate, it is always transparent with firm tannins, the well-integrated acidity acts nonchalantly in the background and accompanies it into the fruity, cool Atlantic finish.
