ÀN/2

Ànima Negra

ÀN/2

ÀN/2 is a perfect introduction to the wines of Mallorca. This unique red is made from old vine Callet, Mantonegre-Fogoneu and Syrah fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete—macerated only briefly to retain the freshness and flavors of the fully ripe fruit. Aged for just over one year in a combination of 80% French barriques and 20% American oak.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby-red in color, ÀN/2 has complex aromas of  savory spices, wild raspberries, dark cherry fruit and a hint of violets and smokiness. On the palate the wine is silky and elegant with intense flavors of mature fruit. Well-balanced with a long finish.

Food Pairing

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