Valautín Albillo Real

Valautín, meaning "valley of small vineyards" in Piedmontese, aptly describes this Albillo Real from San Martín de Valdeiglesias. The grapes are sourced from various small vineyards with granitic soils, situated at altitudes between 650 and 750 metres. These vineyards are part of a Special Protection Area for Birds and the Natura 2000 network. The rainfed vineyards, cultivated traditionally with goblet training, are harvested manually in 15 kg boxes. The whole grapes are directly pressed, and the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation, followed by twelve months of ageing in French oak barrels without batonnage.
