Casa Castillo Pie Franco

Description

Casa Castillo Pie Franco. Could this be the highest expression of a wine from Jumilla D.O? Could this be the most elegant and refined example of the Mediterranean grape Monastrell in the country? Possibly yes. This red wine has been awarded so many high scores it’s almost impossible to remember them. This is the flagship wine of the legendary winery Casa Castillo: a 100% Monastrell from pre-phylloxeric vines that has spent a lazy 17 months in large oak barrels. The nose is wonderfully perfumed and floral with dark red berries, spice and fresh fruit. There’s a touch of forest floor and smoke too. The palate is incredibly balanced. Everything is in the right place and working in harmony: acidity, tannin, fruit, body.
