#Brigadiers lunch with visitor @Cristobal Daly. My favourite of the Unico lineup, but a close run affair with the 1995. Ethereal. Enough

Vigorous looking as a new wine. Nose a bit restrained but unfurling. Palate amazing. Menthol, cherries, ripe strawberries. Awesome.

Description

Este vino despliega un abanico aromático intrigante, con delicadas notas de violetas secas, higos maduros, cacao y avellanas tostadas. Se complementa con un sutil trasfondo de hierbas secas, un toque refrescante de melisa y un exótico matiz de cinco especias chinas. En boca, destaca por su elegancia y acidez equilibrada, ofreciendo una complejidad que invita a explorar sus múltiples capas. Su perfil incluye suaves matices de hierbas silvestres y especias delicadas, perfectamente envueltas en taninos ultrafinos que aportan una textura impecable y refinada.

La añada excepcional del Vega Sicilia Unico 1996, proveniente de la reconocida bodega Vega Sicilia, ofrece un excepcional coupage de Tempranillo y Cabernet Sauvignon. Esta obra maestra vinícola es el fruto del compromiso del grupo Tempos Vega Sicilia. Desde que fue adquirida por David Álvarez Díez en 1982, la reputación internacional de esta bodega, fundada en 1864, ha ido en constante ascenso, estableciendo estándares de calidad inigualables en el universo vinícola.

De las extensas 1.000 hectáreas de la Finca Vega Sicilia, 210 se dedican al cultivo de la viña, donde conviven 19 tipos de suelos distribuidos en 57 parcelas con características específicas. La gestión excepcional de estos suelos ha sido crucial, influenciada por el curso del río Duero y el transcurso del tiempo. La vendimia se realiza manualmente en cajas de 12 kg. El envejecimiento del Vega Sicilia Unico, con un mínimo de 10 años entre la madera y la botella, destaca como uno de los más prolongados a nivel mundial.

Gracias al extraordinario terruño y a ese envejecimiento único, estos vinos adquieren una cualidad eterna con el paso del tiempo. Descubre y adquiere esta joya vinícola en nuestra tienda online, donde encontrarás el inigualable vino Vega Sicilia Unico 1996.
