Alma do Vello Tesouro 2022
Descripción
El tesouro de Viña Somoza es el pequeño viñedo con el que se elabora este tinto, ubicado a los pies de un castañar antiguo. Protagonizado íntegramente por la uva Albarello o Brancellao, poco habitual en esta zona de Valdeorras, y con 12 meses de crianza, se expresa muy aromático, con notas de fruta roja, herbáceas y florales y un gusto ágil y elegante.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2022 Alma do Vello Tesouro comes from a young vineyard planted with Brancellao (known locally as Albarello) in the middle of chestnut trees at 580 meters in altitude in the village of Rubiá. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and 90% full clusters and matured in well-seasoned used 500-liter French oak barrels for 14 months, followed by three more months in stainless steel. It's medium-bodied and has higher alcohol than the 2021 (13.5% here versus 11.95% in 2021), with tasty flavors and a savory finish. Winemaker Javier García told me that wines like this suffer more from the bottling; furthermore, he used more full clusters in the fermentation to try to extract less from the skins, and that tends to deliver more reductive wines. It's shy and austere, not giving any sensation of heat. It takes a little time to open up in the glass to elegant aromas of bright fruit, denoting freshness (red cherries rather than black ones), violets and lilies and is perfumed, floral and elegant. It has more clout than the 2021, but it keeps the balance and overall profile of elegance. This is really impressive for such warm year. 1,076 bottles were filled in May 2024.

Evidente que no entendí la añada anterior,esta además de sutil,elegante, fragante,es absolutamente delicada en boca.No tomar menos de 12°C
Lástima de exceso de aromas de reducción que se apoderan del resto de características organolépticas
