Figuero Pago de Torrosillo 2019
The top-shelf red wine Figuero Pago de Torrosillo is made from some of the best estate-grown Tempranillo grapes of Bodegas y Viñedos García Figuero.
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from a 1.79 ha single parcel with clay-limestone soils, Pago Torrosillo, planted in 1950 at 840 metres of altitude on the vicinity of La Horra, DO Ribera del Duero.
The hand-picked grapes were cold-macerated before completing both fermentations in 2,000-litre French oak vats.
Once vinification was completed, this Reserva red wine was transferred into new, fine-grained French oak barrels and aged for 18 months.
After that, the red wine Figuero Pago de Torrosillo 2019 was clarified, bottled and aged for no less than 12 months in the cellar.
Decant this red wine from Ribera del Duero a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.
