About the Wine
Attis Brancellao 2022 is a red wine from D.O. Rías Baixas, produced from 100% Brancellao grapes. The vineyard lies at 100 meters elevation, faces southwest, and is planted on sandy-clay granitic Entisole soils using the traditional pergola training system (800 vines/ha). Yields are low at 4,000 kg/ha. Grapes are hand-harvested into perforated crates, sorted, and fully destemmed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in 225L open barrels, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine undergoes 15 days of total maceration with two manual punch-downs per day. Aging lasts 12 months in French oak barrels. Clarification is done using egg white and sea water. Only 1,333 bottles were produced. Importer (Steep Hill).
