A true rarity, the wine Algueira Serradello by bodega Adega Algueira is made solely from Brancellao. This is a largely forgotten variety indigenous to Ribeira Sacra, whose cultivation was almost abandoned after the phylloxera epidemic.

This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from scenic vineyards located on the banks of the Sil river, with steep slopes up to 80%. Vines are 30 years old on average, and climate is Mediterranean with an Atlantic influence.

Hand-harvested at dusk, the grapes were selected on site and placed whole bunch in French oak barres. Then they were stomped to kickstart the fermentation process, which was carried out using only the native yeasts of the grapes.

After that, the red wine Algueira Serradello 2018 underwent a low-temperature post-fermentation maceration. Finally, the wine was aged for 12 months in used oak barrels before bottling in May 2021.

Since it opens quite tight, be sure to decant this red wine from Ribeira Sacra at least 30 minutes before drinking, preferably more.

Pair this Crianza red wine with white meat dishes, oily fish recipes, Indian cuisine and cold cuts.
