Details
Costers de Cornudella 2022
The wine Costers de Cornudella is made by Companyia Vitícola Sileo, the branch of the AT Roca winery in DO Montsant.
This varietal Spanish red wine was sourced from Grenache vineyards 20 to 85 years of age planted on the hills of Cornudella del Montsant, a scenic village on the border between Montsant and Priorat.
The grapes were sourced from several plots with different soil compositions - limestone, clay-limestone and slate - and sun orientations, at altitudes between 500 and 700 metres above sea level.
Vinified with 20% whole clusters, this Crianza red wine was fermented and macerated in stainless steel tanks. After that, Costers de Cornudella 2022 was aged for 12 months in 500-litre used French oak barrels and clay amphorae.
This a nuanced, fresh, terroir-bound red wine from Montsant.

| Appearance | The red wine Costers de Cornudella is medium ruby with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Juicy aromas of raspberries and boysenberries, typical of a varietal Grenache wine, with dim spicy notes, a hint of citrus and dry earth, and tips of flowers and herbs de provence. |
| Palate | Savoury and fresh, this wine of the AT Roca winery is nimble and lifted, with succulent red fruit, smooth tannins and a crisp, fresh acidity. Straightforward and accessible, but not banal. Medium-long finish with remembrances of cocoa, spices and garrigue-ish note. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Costers de Cornudella 2022 is a nuanced, compelling Grenache. |
