San Cucufate Monasterio Red Wine is a distinguished example from Bodegas San Cobate, located in the prestigious D.O. Ribera del Duero. This wine is made from 100% Tinto Fino grapes, showcasing a distinctive character in every sip. Its vineyard, situated in Gumiel del Mercado (Burgos) at over 860 meters above sea level and with north-south orientation, benefits from exceptional climate and soil, which, along with protection from surrounding oaks, contribute to the grape quality.
The vinification of San Cucufate involves careful selection of the bunches, followed by destemming and gentle crushing. This traditional method begins with alcoholic fermentation in cement tanks, with daily pump-overs to ensure optimal results. Malolactic fermentation also occurs in these tanks, which helps to soften acidity.
The wine undergoes meticulous aging of 16 months in various used barrels and then matures in larger wooden containers. This slow aging process results in a broad, powerful, and intense wine characterized by a dark cherry color with garnet edges. On the nose, it displays aromas of ripe red and black fruits, combined with herbal notes. On the palate, it is velvety, with structured tannins and well-balanced acidity, leading to a long and elegant finish. This wine possesses excellent aging potential, allowing enjoyment of its evolution over the years.
