Pino 2022

2022 / 95 puntos

The 2022 Pino was produced with the Bobal grapes from one hectare of 40-year-old vines on limestone soils. With the idea to achieve a more serious age-worthy red, it fermented in 4,500-liter oak vats and matured in a 3,500-liter oval oak foudre. It has 13.5% alcohol and good acidity and freshness with the usual parameters for the grape (pH 3.57 and 5.7 grams of acidity). This was the more reductive of the 2022s that I tasted; the wine is more austere and feels a bit more rustic in the palate, but it was bottled only two months before I tasted it. 4,000 bottles were filled in August 2023.
