WINE DESCRIPTION
Aletta Garnacha is a distinctive wine hailing from the Campo de Borja region, known for its exceptional Garnacha vines. Produced from vineyards aged 15-25 years, this wine benefits from a unique continental climate influenced by the Atlantic's cold, dry "Cierzo" wind in winter and the Mediterranean's warmth in summer. The vineyards, situated on brown-calcareous and terraced soils with good drainage and rich organic matter, offer a diverse nutrient profile. Additionally, the proximity to the Moncayo mountains introduces clay-ferrous, stony soils, enhancing the wine's complexity. Aletta Garnacha showcases the best of these terroirs, resulting in a wine with rich, nuanced flavors and a special character that reflects its unique environmental influences and expert winemaking.

On the palate, Aletta Garnacha displays a medium to full body with a smooth and velvety texture. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. You can expect to taste a medley of red berries, plums, and a touch of spice, which adds complexity to the wine.
The tannins in Aletta Garnacha are usually well-integrated, providing a pleasant structure without overpowering the fruit flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruit and a hint of earthiness.
This wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. It also complements soft and semi-hard cheeses, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
