This verstaile Spanish red wine is a straightforward expression of the Montsant terroir.
Crafted by Celler Coca i Fitó, Jaspi Negre is made from a blend of 45% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Syrah.
The grapes come from vines between 10 and 90 years of age, planted in soils of different compositions.
After a careful vinification, this red wine from Montsant was aged for a period of 3 to 4 months in French and American oak barrels. Then Jaspi Negre 2018 was further aged for 12 months in underground concrete tanks.
Pair this Crianza red wine with roasted meats or, even better, some sautéed mushrooms with garlic butter.

---|---|
Nose | Well-defined and intense, this blend of Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah smells primarily of ripe red fruit and blueberries, with delicate notes of tobacco, cedar, balsam, vanilla and underbrush. |
Palate | Produced by the Coca i Fitó winery, this red wine is easy and smooth on the palate. Ripe red berries, a dash of balsam, notes of spices and some mineral overtones alongside a dim layer of Mediterranean undergrowth. Good acidity, sweet tannins and medium, toasted finish. |
Our personal opinion | The nuanced and excellently priced Jaspi Negre 2018 is a great all-rounder from Montsant. |
