TERRA D'ART | FINCA EL MALDITO 2020 75cl

The Finca El Maldito 2020 from Terra d’Art is only produced when the vineyard and vintage allow. It is an extremely selective wine, made from very specific plots in the Ahillas Valley, as a tribute to Rafael "El Maldito," the man who cared for these lands for over a century. A red wine of character, deep and serious, expressing the harshness of the landscape and the nobility of a job well done.

Tasting Notes

Deep and concentrated cherry red color. The nose is intense and serious, with ripe black fruit, spicy notes, elegant toasts, and a mineral background that reflects its origin. On the palate it is powerful and structured, with firm tannins, ample volume, and an acidity that balances the whole. Long, deep, and persistent finish, with a clear aging potential.

Pairing

Ideal with roasted red meats, game stews, traditional stews, hearty spoon dishes, and aged cheeses. Serve between 16 and 18 ºC.

The Finca El Maldito 2020 is a wine of respect and memory. A red wine born from effort, landscape, and time, that only sees the light when the terroir decides to speak with its own voice. A serious, deep, and soulful wine.
