MATSU | EL PICARO 2024 75cl

El Pícaro 2024 is the youngest, most audacious, and vibrant expression of the Matsu collection, a project that combines traditional wisdom with contemporary freshness. It originates in the D.O. Toro, from centenary ungrafted vines, where sand and river stones create an austere landscape that gives rise to wines full of soul and character.

Made with Tinta de Toro grapes, this wine comes from organically grown vines, free of herbicides and chemicals. Harvesting is done by hand, and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, aiming to preserve the freshness and purest expression of the varietal, without oak aging.
