Alto Moncayo Locos por el Vino Zismero
Alto Moncayo Locos por el Vino Zismero
"Locos por el Vino” is a new project from Bodegas Alto Moncayo, aiming to expand their range with high-quality, modern and casual wines produced from the winery’s youngest vineyards, guaranteeing the continuity of the Alto Moncayo project for future generations to come. A local term used in the village of Borja, "Zismero" refers to one who is provocative, jovial, and mirthful, with a complexity and uniqueness that makes its audience think deeply from the pointed jocularity.
Wine Production
Fermentation occurs in opened stainless steel tanks with a cold pre-fermentation for two days and an alcoholic fermentation temperature between 24ºC and 28ºC. The wine is aged for 2 months in French oak.
Tasting Notes
A pleasant freshness with a successful combination of red fruits such as cherries and currants; the short aging in wood rounds off the palate, providing notes of laurel and toast in perfect balance with its acidity.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with chicken and rice dishes, barbeque, or pasta with vegetables.
