Nanclares Coccinella

The explosive, vibrant, effervescent and saline 2020 Coccinella has notes of moss and herbs, wet stones and acid yellow fruit. It has incredible acidity that makes you salivate. This is still very young but goes back to the character of the Coccinella from 2015. This has even higher acidity that the 2015 and the highest acidity in 2020, more than 11 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid). In 2020, they selected grapes from different plants in the same vineyard, and the experiment feels like a success. Granite, sea, austerity and Salnés. Unfortunately, there is only one 400-liter oak barrel of this wine that produced some 500 bottles that were filled in August 2021. Bravo!! I've been waiting for this wine for years...

Tasted blind. This is an easy-to-understand wine that will please all, with lots of ripe fruits, peach, apricot and apples. Very clean and well-made palate, ripe, sweet with refreshing salty acidity. Technically perfect, with a complete balance of all elements. Quite a pure air of Albariño!
