Cami Pesseroles, Priorato, 2019

The red 2019 Cami Pesseroles comes from a co-plantation of Garnacha and Carinena planted in 1939. Whole clusters were foot trodden and fermented with indigenous yeasts for almost three weeks in open-top 500-liter chestnut wood barrels and an oak vat. The wine was pressed and matured in 650-liter chestnut and acacia, cherry and oak barrels. There was a heat wave, and the Carinena was blocked. The wine has a very light color and very good tension in the palate. It's very young and elegant, and it has more of the profile of the Escurcons, which in 2019 is more concentrated than Pesseroles. 13.5% alcohol, very good freshness... Delicate like no other vintage. Surprising. 1,200 bottles produced.
