Mencia 'Benquerido' Monte Pio 2022

Mencia 'Benquerido' Monte Pio is a Galician red of great finesse, made from an indigenous variety capable of producing graceful yet exciting wines. After 18 months in oak barrels, it develops not only fruit complexity but also finesse and briny tones. The nose releases aromas of red and wild fruits, slightly spicy with hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is fresh with a great load of fruit and a fine, vertical bite

Scent

Typical aromas of cherry, intense violet and hints of laurel, then cedar and tobacco

Taste

Fruity thrust with a long, graceful, savoury sip

When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
