Emilio Moro, “Malleolus de Valderramiro”, Ribera del Duero DO

This wine is named in honour of the Pago de Valderramiro, a plot of clay soils planted in 1924 with 4 generations of winemaking tradition dedicated to preserving the essence and personality of a vineyard that represents our history. The clay soils allow us to obtain the purest character of our Tinto Fino wine and all its power, structure and great intensity, giving all prominence to the “terroir”.

The 2019 vegetative cycle was preceded by the April rains. However, from the middle of spring until the end of summer, the year was characterised by scarce rains and temperatures higher than expected. The harvest began after a few rainy days, which helped to balance the grapes’ composition and resulted in a year of extraordinary quality and optimal health.

The alcoholic fermentation took place in small stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 26 days, and the malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. The wine was aged in French oak barrels.

Deep garnet red colour, on the nose it is intense with great aromatic density and from the first moment, you notice the great sensory potential of the wine. 2019 has given the Valderramiro grapes a differentiating character, balancing the brand’s natural tendency towards maturity and highlighting its fruity vocation. On the palate it is powerful, full-bodied and balanced. Despite its structure, the taste is warm and very pleasant, with a long and very persistent aftertaste.
