Product Description
Details
Made from Sumoll, Grenache and Merlot, Nas Del Gegant is a low-sulfites Spanish red wine sourced from Finca Els Bassotets, a vineyard with clay-limestone soils planted with vines around 20 years old and situated in Prenafeta, Tarragona, DO Conca de Barberà.
It is produced by the Escoda-Sanahuja winery, which began its activity in 1997 following the guidelines of organic farming. In 2003, they took a step forward and implemented biodynamic practices in all of its agricultural procedures.
Harvested by hand following the indications of the lunar calendar, this no added sulfite red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and subsequently aged for 10 months in those same containers.
Prior to its bottling, Nas del Gegant 2021 was not filtered or clarified.
Be sure to decant this red wine from Conca de Barberà at least 30 minutes before you drink it.

big nose
An acquired taste which I, for one, have acquired. Decant and shake vigorously to clear the space. Then the wine will drink wonderfully.

Real improvement
Winery has really improved over the years. It is biodynamic, but not stinky. Quite good.
