A gastronomic Albillo Real from the Sierra de Gredos
Picarana 2022 is a tribute to the unique terroir of San Martín de Valdeiglesias. Made from 100% Albillo Real from organically managed vineyards at high altitudes (up to 850 meters), on weathered granite soils surrounded by almond trees and wild herbs. After a gentle pressing, the wine ferments with natural yeasts in used 500–700 liter French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of aging on the fine lees for a silky mouthfeel and impressive aging potential.
