Bodegas Pardevalles, Prieto Picudo Tinto, Leon, Spain 2019
{sustainable} 100% Prieto Picudo
VIBRANT DARK FRUIT, LIVELY & FRESH, SUBTLE SPICE
For generations the Alonso family has farmed the high plateau of Leon, growing only the two grapes native to their corner of Spain. For reds, this means the rare and distinctive Prieto Picudo. Picture the dark fruit and earthy richness of Tempranillo meeting the brightness and elegance of Gamay or Mencia. This unoaked bottling from Pardevalles prevails with enough freshness for the summer sipping yet food-friendly richness enough for Thanksgiving.
Serving suggestion: Adobo chicken thighs. Roast turkey w/ traditional autumnal fixings. Sweet potato & black bean empanada w/ cumin & scallions.
