This barrel selection of Ancellotta comes from our Tres Cruces Vineyard, located in the Animaná Valley, at 5,577 feet above sea level. We fermented this wine in concrete eggs, after 2 days of maceration the pomace is separated and the wine finished fermenting at low temperatures. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months. “A wine that makes you do a double take, this unusual red has 17% natural alcohol and is a super rich, almost Amarone style Ancellotta, albeit with only three grams of residual sugar. Concentrated, compact and figgy with very smooth tannins.” Tim Atkin 2017
It has a dark and deep red color, bright, and highly expressive on the nose. Fruity aromas, with notes of spices and caramel. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a moderate acidity that helps refresh, and elegant tannins. Extremely round, it pairs well with cheese and cold meat platters, with roast meats and wild meats. Best serve at 14°-16° Recommended aging: maximum 5 years.
