La Pilosa ("Hairy" in Catalan) is a wine made from Garnacha Peluda, a variety of Garnacha that has developed hairs on the underside of its leaves, helping to regulate the vine's temperature in a warm climate. It produces wines with more freshness, minerality, and flavor as they age. A pure expression of terroir!
Recommended pairing: Perfect with mustard-crusted roast lamb, as well as white meats, mountain rice dishes, and cured cheeses.
La Pilosa is a wine from the prestigious Terra Alta DO, made with Garnacha Peluda, a lesser-known variety with great potential. It's a refined and elegant wine that seems shy at first, but hides wild notes and great depth.
Artisanal production and aging
The grapes are harvested by hand in 200kg boxes, ensuring the highest quality. Before entering the winery, the bunches are cooled to 4°C for 24 hours, promoting the extraction of aromas and preserving their freshness.
The best grapes are then selected and incubated in concrete tanks containing 50% whole grapes. Alcoholic fermentation develops spontaneously with native yeasts, and malolactic fermentation takes place in the same tank, with gentle daily pigeage to delicately extract color and structure.
After fermentation, the wine is gently pressed and transferred to a 5,000-liter Austrian oak vat, where it ages for 14 months. The stabilization and filtration process is very gentle, fully respecting the wine's expression.
Visual: Cherry red with violet reflections, bright and clean.
Nose: Fresh aromas of raspberry and strawberry, with notes of scrubland, spices and a subtle smoky touch.
Palate: Elegant and fresh entry, with silky tannins. Perfect balance of acidity, minerality, and spicy notes.
