WINE DESCRIPTION
Caracol Serrano Tinto is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Caracol in the Spanish appellation of Sierra de Salamanca. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, with steep slopes and poor soils, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of local grape varieties, with notes of black fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality. Caracol Serrano Tinto is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the unique character of wines from this up-and-coming region.
