Algueira Pizarra is a red wine from the Ribeira Sacra Denomination of Origin, made exclusively from Mencía grapes. This winery reference is highly valued, not only for its quality but also for the rigorous process it follows in its production. The grapes come from the Carballocobo estate, harvested whole without destemming, and pressed by foot. The wine undergoes a cold prefermentative maceration, with meticulous temperature control. After a fermentation process lasting over 30 days, the wine rests in French oak barrels and foudres for 12 to 18 months. In terms of tasting, Algueira Pizarra presents in the glass with an intense cherry red color, medium-high layer, along with a very complex and attractive aroma combining red fruit with balsamic notes and minerality. On the palate, it is fresh and structured, with crunchy tannins, and a long finish that invites continued enjoyment. It is an ideal wine to pair with meat dishes and aged cheeses.
