WINE DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Ismael Arroyo Valsotillo VS Reserva is a distinguished red wine made from 100% Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected from vineyards using traditional glass pruning. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures, followed by 24 months of aging in a blend of American and French oak barrels in a historic XVI-century underground cellar. After bottling, it rests for a minimum of one year before release, ensuring a well-rounded and mature character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Valsotillo VS Reserva displays a deep, dark cherry-red color.Its nose reveals an elegant array of ripe fruit, fine spices, and mineral undertones, with subtle hints of truffle, coffee, and tea. On the palate, the wine is well-structured and balanced, offering a rich, full-bodied profile with a velvety texture. It is expressive and refined, with flavors of ripe fruit complemented by smooth tannins and a touch of oak, leading to a long, satisfying finish with lingering fruit notes. Ideal with hearty dishes like roast lamb, grilled steaks, and rich stews, as well as aged cheeses and charcuterie.
