Secastilla 2017

Secastilla is an excellent, complex and different red wine. It is a single varietal Garnacha that offers the purest expression of this variety and of mountain viticulture. Its grapes come from very old vines planted in the Secastilla valley. Its vineyards are planted at an altitude of 700 metres, on sandy-loam slopes. Harvesting is carried out by hand, with a first selection of grapes in the vineyard itself and a second on a sorting table.

CURIOSITIES: Viñas del Vero owes its name to a river in the Somontano region, the Vero River, famous for its ravines, gorges and canyons. The Viñas del Vero winery was established in Somontano at the end of 1986 with the acquisition of 550 hectares of land in Barbastro and other nearby towns. In 1987 the land began to be replanted with vines of the region's traditional varieties (Tempranillo, Moristel, Garnacha and Macabeo), together with others from different origins (Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir).
