Malleolus is one of the jewels of the renowned winery Emilio Moro, located in the heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero. This wine represents a qualitative leap within the winery's range, opting for a deeper, more complex, and refined expression of Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto Fino), sourced from carefully selected old vineyards. The name "Malleolus" comes from Latin and refers to the local term for a small vineyard plot. The philosophy of this wine revolves around the maximum expression of terroir and respect for traditional practices, merged with modern and precise winemaking. The aging process takes place for 18 months in French oak barrels, allowing the wine to gain structure, longevity, and aromatic complexity without losing its freshness or fruity character. Tasting notes: - Color: Deep cherry red, with garnet rim and high intensity. - Nose: Intense and elegant aromas of ripe black fruit (blackberries, plums), spicy notes, cocoa, balsamic hints, and a mineral and earthy background. - Palate: Powerful and silky, with firm yet polished tannins, excellent acidity, and a long, persistent finish full of nuances. Pairing: Perfect for red meats, roasted lamb, game dishes, traditional stews, and aged cheeses. Ideal for special occasions and for wine lovers seeking character. Malleolus is a potent and gastronomic wine that speaks of the vineyard and time. An essential label to understand the greatness of Ribera del Duero.
