TERRA D´ART | BOCAPIEDRA 2020 75cl

Bocapiedra 2020 by Terra d’Art is the result of more than a decade of experimentation and commitment to the Prieto Picudo variety, a grape that was present in the area more than 130 years ago. It comes from extremely low-yielding vineyards, with yields of barely 800 grams per plant, which results in a wine of enormous concentration, depth, and an absolutely distinctive personality. A red wine that does not seek consensus, but identity.
