Ànima Negra

ÀN/2

Other Red Grape or Blend

Grapes from old vines of Callet, Mantonegre-Fogoneu and Syrah are hand-harvested, fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts, and macerated only briefly to retain the most refined flavors of this fully ripe fruit. Aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American barriques.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with a nose of honeysuckle and jasmine, fills the mouth with ripe, round flavors, yet is refreshing on the palate and firmly held together with its soft tannic structure. The raspberry-like finish is long.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs excellently with stuffed pork chops, rabbit ravioli or roast leg of duck.

POINTS
The 2004 AN/2 is a blend of 65% Callet, 25% Mantonegro, and 10% Syrah. Subsequently, 85% of the wine was aged in French oak (70% new) and 15% in tank for a total of 10 months. Dark ruby-colored, with expressive toasty, smoky, kirsch and raspberry aromas and flavors, on the palate this medium to full-bodied wine is rich yet elegant, nicely layered, and has a long, pure finish. Drink this unique wine over the next 4-6 years.

POINTS
From Mallorca, this is a blend of indigenous, unheard-of-grapes aged 12 months in French oak. The result includes aromas of milk chocolate and mocha in front of baked fruit, fudge and licorice. It's unlike most anything else on the planet.
Wine Enthusiast
Favorite - The Anima Negra wines, from largely obscure, indigenous old vines grown on the island of Mallorca, really lit up the tasting. The AN/2 blends Callet, Manto Negro, Fogoneu and Monastrell (mourvèdre). It's youthful, fresh and fruit-driven, with the accent on wild raspberry.
