Ànima Negra

ÀN/2

Other Red Grape or Blend

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

Tasting Notes

Dark ruby in color, the ÀN/2 has complex aromas of spices and wild raspberries. On the palate the wine is silky and elegant and has intense flavors of mature fruit. Well-balanced with a long finish, this wine pairs excellently with grilled meats and casse

Food Pairing

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