Details
Artadi Valdeginés 2022
The wine Artadi Valdeginés is one of the bottlings of the "Vinos de Parcela" (aka Single Vineyard) collection of wines of Bodegas Artadi, one of the most prestigious producers in Rioja Alavesa.
This varietal Spanish red wine is entirely sourced from a east-oriented, certified organic 4.10-hectare Tempranillo vineyard planted between 1989 and 1992, in an area of loamy soils with a high limestone content situated on the vicinity of Laguardia.
Meticulously harvested and selected, the grapes went through a pre-fermentation cold maceration for 24 to 48 hours before fermenting in stainless steel tanks for 10 to 12 days, with pump-overs and punch-downs.
After that, the red wine Artadi Valdeginés 2022 underwent malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and was aged for a period of 12 months. It was kept for a further 12 months in the cellar before hitting the market.
We suggest decanting this red wine from Rioja Alavesa 1 hour before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Artadi Valdeginés is medium purple with some ruby-coloured glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | The combination of austerity and elegance stemming from the limestone soils is the defining feature of this varietal Tempranillo red wine. Blackcurrants, Amarena cherries and sour raspberries, with hints of violets, black tea and pine needles. |
| Palate | This wine of Artadi winery is intricate and luminous, with fine-grained tannins, lots of inner energy and a bright acidity, all of which indicate that the wine should improve over the next years in the bottle. Very long, subtly floral and gently spicy finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A model of precision and understated elegance, the wine Artadi Valdeginés 2022 is a gem. |
