ANIMA NEGRA | ÀN/2 2023

ÀN/2 2023 – Mediterranean Red Wine from Mallorca 70cl

ÀN/2 2023 is the most accessible and vibrant version of Ànima Negra, a wine that captures the Mediterranean soul of Mallorca with a juicy, fresh, and profoundly elegant expression. Born from old vines planted on the characteristic Call vermell soil, which is poor and mineral, this wine combines the indigenous Callet variety with Mantonegro-Fogoneu and a touch of Syrah, providing balance and depth.

Made with manual harvesting and rigorous selection, it ferments with indigenous yeasts and ages for over a year in oak barrels, where it acquires complexity without losing the fruity freshness that makes it so versatile and captivating.
