Artadi El Carretil 2020 is one of the most prestigious wines from Juan Carlos López de Lacalle in the Rioja Alavesa region. This wine, born from a vineyard with high limestone concentration, captures the essence of its terroir. The 2020 vintage is characterized by a fresh and balanced profile, allowing for the production of an elegant and precise wine. Artadi employs organic viticulture, fermentation in wood, and carefully measured aging to enhance the fruit, minerality, and chalky texture. On the nose, it offers notes of black cherry, raspberry, and violets, with hints of herbs and fine spices, and perfectly integrated wood. On the palate, the wine expresses itself with depth and elegance, featuring chalky tannins and a long finish that recalls red fruit and a salty touch. This wine is ideal for pairing with dishes such as roasted lamb, ribeye steak, game, acorn-fed iberian ham, and aged cheeses.
