Ànima Negra ÀN/2

ÀN/2 bottle image

Wine Description

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.

Acclaim
“The red 2020 ÀN/2 was produced with 60% Callet, 20% Mantonegro and Fogoneu and the rest a mix of other grapes—Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Garnacha—trying to keep the character of the local varieties but coming through as quite oaky after one year in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels of different ages. It's medium-bodied and has 13% alcohol and mellow acidity. It finishes with a spicy and smoky sensation. I'd like it better with less oak. Will it absorb the oak with time in bottle?”
