Tinto Valbuena 5° 2018 75 cl Vega Sicilia
Vega SiciliaValbuena 5° Vega Sicilia is a seductive and sumptuous red wine.
The result of a blend of Tinto Fino (96%) and Merlot (4%), it is a faithful expression of the terroir of Ribera del Duero, in Spain.
The 2018 vintage was fresh and the selection of the grapes was very meticulous and severe, giving a wonderful wine, with verticality and liveliness to the wine.
Fermentation occurs naturally and refinement lasts for 5 years, partly in barrique, partly in large American oak barrels and partly in glass.
Valbuena 5° 2018 Vega Sicilia is an elegant wine, rich in intense fruit aromas and balsamic and mentholated nuances; with great structure on the palate, it is a wine that requires important pairings. Excellent if drunk now and wonderful even in over 25 years!
