Bodega Pirineos 3404 Tinto Somontano DO

Wine 3404 Tinto is a surefire choice. It has become a benchmark for trendy young red wines, recognized throughout the wine world. Its numerical name pays homage to the height of Pico Aneto (the highest peak of the Pyrenees). Made from the grape varieties Moristel, Garnacha, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a rich, fresh red wine with fruity notes. These varieties are carefully cultivated in various locations in the Somontano region (between Salas and Barbastro). The vineyard covers about 100 hectares and has been in existence for 10 years. The Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by deep clay soils with limestone features, the Moristel by foothills, and the Garnacha by poor slope soils. The climate in this area is characterized by sharp temperature fluctuations between summer and winter, as well as between day and night, which favors ripening cycles. Harvesting is mechanized, and plots are selected according to their potential. Harvesting also occurs at the peak of the aromatic period for fresh berries. Wine 3404 Tinto is produced from grapes of all three varieties, prioritizing fruity notes over aromatic concentration. Selected local yeasts are used, allowing the wine to express its Somontano origin more fully. Finally, fermentation occurs at moderate temperatures to preserve the fruity character. Light maceration makes the wine very easy to drink.
