Tasting Notes

Intense cherry color with a violet rim. Vibrant nose with red fruits—cherries and raspberries—, spices, toasted bread, violets, and wild Mediterranean herbs . On the palate, it is flavorful, with lively acidity, well-structured tannins, persistent and fresh, leaving a long-lasting mineral and herbaceous echo .

Pairing

Ideal for red tuna, fatty fish, grilled white meats, Valencian paella, rich pasta sauces, Iberian cured meats, and semi-cured cheeses.

In every sip of Fierroca, the stone and fire of the Mediterranean burst forth; a mineral embrace full of history, wild sensations, and a pulse that beats to an ancient and sincere rhythm.
