Partida Creus TN Tinto Natural 2022

Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa are the Italian couple behind Partida Creus. They settled in the Massís de Bonastre in the Baix Penedés around the year 2000. There they started farming all kinds of local foodstuffs but had trouble finding wines made in the same style so they started making their own, recovering old vines of local grape varietals. In most cases, the vineyards were close to abandoned. 

Tinto Natural comes from 30 to 50-year-old vines planted on clay and limestone soils and farmed organically. The grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed before being a gently pressing into stainless steel tank, without filtration or any added sulfur.

This is a vibrant medium bodied red with a high-toned nose of wild strawberries and blackcurrant. The palate is crisp, fresh and wild with blackberry and cassis flavors, structured tannin and an earthy finish.
