GRAPE

trebbiano, malvasia

 

A blend of three native grapes. It has refreshing lemon and green apple notes, some minerally sensations and a little breadiness. On the palate, it's refreshing, citric and savoury with lots of bright acidity.

 

This wine is from the northwest part of Lazio, near the border with Umbria. Legend has it that a bishop traveling to Rome would send a scout ahead of time to establish which inns were offering the best wines and he'd mark them with the word "Est" (which translates to “it is” in Latin). When he reached Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout noted “Est! Est!! Est!!!” on the local inn’s front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story.

GRAPE

Cabernet Sauvignon

 

A round and vibrant medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, with plum and strawberry flavours combined with hints of red pepper and spices. The palate is smooth and balanced and red fruit flavours abound on the palate.

 

The Viña Echeverría Reserva range comprises seven wines, which are characterized by their lively and fruity appeal. Fresh and vibrant with little or no oak, they are a true expression of the individuality of each grape variety. These are wines which work as well as aperitif or house wines, as they do with food. The grapes for this wine are 100% handpicked, fermented in stainless steel and then aged in 225 liter French used barrels for about 4-5 months.
