Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 100% Tinto Fino. Calmo Legaris comes from a careful selection of small vineyards in five towns in the province of Burgos, which we harvest by hand when the grapes are at their optimal ripening point. After passing through the selection table, the production begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration for a week. The alcoholic fermentation then takes place with its own native yeasts, in small truncated conical tanks. The next morning, the wine obtained during the night is placed in a barrel. The wine remains in this same barrel until the end of its aging. The malolactic fermentation of these wines is carried out separately in new French oak barrels from six different cooperages and their subsequent aging in barrels continues for 20 months. Once the aging is finished, the final blend is made. Calmo Legaris is not released every year, but only those whose final wine is of exceptional quality and bottle aging capacity.
TASTING
View: Bright cherry cherry heavily covered with garnet nuances.
Nose:
The Calmo Legaris tasting has two phases. At first, aromas of ripe and delicious black fruit gradually emerge.
Mouth:
When it has been in the glass for a while and has opened, that is when it expresses all its registers. The fruit is maintained, well integrated with the aromas provided by the careful selection of barrels. In the mouth Calmo Legaris is enveloping, elegant, with velvety tannins aftertaste. The recommended consumption temperature is 16 ºC.
