Martinet Bru, Priorato, 2022
Dark yet high toned fruit with a slate keel. Creamy salty fruit - red and black berried with cool slate below. This has great definition and character and some real impact at the price. The perfect gateway to the wonderful world of Sara Perez’s wines.
critic reviews
The 2022 Martinet Bru comes from a warm and dry vintage, so they did part with carbonic maceration and the rest with full clusters that were foot trodden all in concrete. The wine matured in concrete and only three months in used barriques. So, the wine has freshness and lightness but also ripeness (14% alcohol) and a very expressive nose with berries, licorice, Mediterranean herbs and some spices. It has a soft palate that is juicy and fruit-driven, with a notable mouthfeel and aftertaste. It has abundant, fine-grained tannins and a sense of harmony. 43,000 bottles, 1,078 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in December 2023.
