Product Description
Details
This substantial Spanish red wine is crafted by the Costers del Sió winery from 6 different plots of vines scattered across the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees, in DO Costers del Segre.
The 2020 vintage of Alto Siós is made from a blend of, in order of prominence, Syrah, Tempranillo and Grenache.
The grapes were meticulously harvested, destemmed and selected in the cellar. Separately vinified, after a cold-maceration this red wine from Costers del Segre was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with frequent pump-overs and punch-downs.
Finally, Alto Siós 2020 was transferred into oak barrels of different origins, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months.
Production around 15,000 bottles.
Aerate this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Alto Siós is medium ruby with purple tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Lively aromas of wild berries, with some spicy touches and notes of menthol, chocolate, and wet earth. Complex and nuanced, this blend of Syrah, Tempranillo and Grenache also suggests a note of flowers and licorice. |
| Palate | Gentle, well-balanced and sustained by a tight acidity. This wine from Costers del Sió carries a respectable amount of black fruit, some bitter notes and some spicy touches. Tannins are nicely rounded, and the aftertaste is long and slightly toasted. |
| Our personal opinion | The red wine Alto Siós 2020 is an excellent value from Costers del Segre, a promising wine region northwest of Barcelona. |
