A CORONELA

Description

"A clean and bright Garnacha from Valdeorras".
A Coronela is a clean, bright, purple-red wine with violet reflections. Medium-high robe. Aromas of red fruit of raspberry, blackberry and plum with lightly toasted wood, very fruity. In the mouth it is fresh, ample with very good acidity. The aromas of the nose come back to us and are enhanced in the mouth. Slight astringency that gives volume. A young winery, but a very interesting one. After a lifetime dedicated to the work and care of the vineyards, in 2008 Adega O Cepado was born, a family winery located in Rubiá, in the eastern part of the province of Orense. It is part of the Valdeorras appellation of origin.
