TYPE: DOCG
BLEND: 100% Sangiovese carefully selected in the oldest vineyards and only of the best harvests.
VINIFICATION:
Alcoholic fermentation with maceration of the skins (30-35 days) at a controlled temperature and spontaneous malolactic fermentation, both in truncated cone-shaped Slavonian oak vats.
AGEING:
In Slavonian oak casks of 10 to 25 hl for over 40 months; followed by ageing in bottles for at least 15 months.
NOTES:
Colour: deep ruby red, strong, lively.
Bouquet: very intense and complex, fruity and spicy, with red fruit, jam and liquorice shades; great prospects of future development.
Taste: great structure in the acid-tannin components, well supported by the soft ones; extremely persistent.
Food pairings: roast red meats, game and very aged cheeses.
Review:
Bright ruby in the glass. First impact is low key, with red cherry, leather, tobacco, fresh violet and balsamic notes. The attack is velvety, with a full body, lifted acidity and dense, ripe tannins. Character emerges from the glass, meaty and bloody. Thick, dry finish that’s fierce. Drink or hold

Trus Albillo Mayor Reserva Ribera del Duero is made from 100% Albillo Mayor.
Light straw yellow color despite its age. Aromas of white flowers and grapefruit typical of the variety, along with some very light notes of toasted wood and of long bottle ageing. Very well-balanced on the palate, with the characteristic fullness of the variety and a very refreshing natural acidity which bodes well for the wine's ageing. A wine for ageing which already displays all its complexity and elegance. We recommend consumption at a temperature of between 8 and 12ºC.
