GRAPE VARIETY 45% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 15% Syrah and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon TASTING NOTES Jaspi Negre is a red wine from DO Montsant, made from grapes deriving from a range of diverse soil types. This wine is made to please an ample majority: friendly and with a marked personality. Ripe red and black fruits, herbaceous notes, as well as spice, with soft velvety tannins for structure. A powerful wine that is well structured, yet approachable. On the nose, it has a penetrating mix of ripe red and black berries, with a touch of spice (anise). The barrel ageing is present in both the nose and palate, adding complexity without reducing the wine’s essence. On the palate, it is robust, structured and textured. Pomegranate, strawberry, bitter chocolate, ash, thyme and cardamom. Soft, present tannins. Lengthy notes of berry fruits. Intense, spicy and very persistent. FOOD PAIRING Perfect with white and red meats, game, spicy dishes, pasta, hearty salads and cheeses.
