Villa de Corullón 2020 75cl.
Villa de Corullón is a delicate, enveloping and elegant wine, born from the steep slopes of Bierzo, a landscape that combines Mediterranean and Atlantic factors at the same time and that provides silkiness, freshness and minerality to the wines. In this vintage it exhibits a paler color and, in the opinion of The Wine Advocate critic, Luis Guitérrez, it shows "a different profile", "more delicate, ethereal and full of light and energy" that makes him think "of a red wine from the Jura".
