Malasombra 2017

The 2017 Malasombra is a varietal Graciano from an organically certified plot of one hectare that was planted 25 years ago in the village of Andosilla in Navarra but also within the limits of the Rioja appellation. It fermented with indigenous yeasts with a short maceration, looking for varietal purity. It matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for 12 months. It has a dark color and a nose of dark berries with an earthy touch, with good ripeness and integrated oak. The palate is lively and balanced, it shows good acidity and focused, clean flavors. A good Graciano, not an easy thing to do. 1,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
