Tasting Notes
On the nose it is very intense and fresh, transmitting all the varietal authenticity of Monastrell, Arcos and Bonicaire. In the mouth, the purity of the fresh fruit stands out, with a light, velvety, fluid and persistent palate. It is a medium-bodied wine with very fine tannins.
The Producer
Colección de Toneles Centenarios is a newly created winery (2019), based on an interesting find: the barrel room of the Ferrero winery, an old winery that produced Fondillón wine, located in the town of Cañada (Alto Vinalopó), Alicante. Twenty-five old casks were forgotten there for over 60 years. They are launching some extremely old and also extremely expensive wines. The family still has 25 hectares of vineyards, from which they have resumed producing wines destined to produce Fondillón from 2017.
Vinification
From our own old vines, grown in the town of Canyada (Alicante). Historic vineyards, planted in the 60’s, on sandy soils that provide fine and elegant wines. It is a wine that transmits the personality of the old Alicante wines, with the proportion of indigenous varieties that have historically been grown in our territory. Its production process includes maturation in ceramic amphorae, made of Villarrobledo clay fired in old wood-fired ovens.
