🏰【The 2017 Dominio del Aguila Picaro del Aguila Clarete is a captivating revival of a traditional Ribera del Duero style, co-fermenting red and white grapes to create a unique wine with the freshness of a white and the structure of a red.】 Despite a challenging vintage marked by spring frost, this Clarete maintains moderate alcohol and a healthy pH, showcasing the resilience of its old vines. It presents an alluring orange-pink hue with lively aromas of sour cherries, orange zest, dried lemon, and salted almonds, complemented by subtle spiciness and floral notes. The palate is medium-to full-bodied, soft, and smooth, offering juicy berry accents, bright acidity, and a refined, lightly mineral touch, leading to a long, fresh finish. 🍴 This versatile and structured Clarete is an excellent match for salads and green vegetables, cuttlefish with meatballs, vegetable rice dishes, or moussaka. Its unique profile also makes it a delightful pairing for a variety of Mediterranean cuisine. 🥂 Perfect for a summer gathering, a sophisticated picnic, or as an intriguing alternative to traditional rosé or light red wines, offering immediate enjoyment and potential for aging up to a decade.
