The Artuke Pies Negros 2021 Magnum of 1.5L is an iconic wine that represents the perfect union of tradition and avant-garde in the Rioja Alavesa region. The Artuke winery maintains the traditional practice of foot-treading grapes, paying homage to the viticultural history of the area. This wine is made from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes grown in Ábalos, at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria, reflecting the authentic character of the terroir. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in French and American oak barrels, with a refined touch in concrete to preserve fruit purity. On the nose, it presents scents of blackberries, licorice, and violets, complemented by balsamic and toasted notes. On the palate, it is structured and balanced with polished tannins and vibrant acidity, prolonging flavors of black fruit and spices in a long finish. It is recommended to serve between 14 and 16 ºC and pair with grilled meat, roasted lamb, and aged cheeses.
