Country: Spain /
Variety: Prieto Picudo Northern Spain
Winery: Pricum / Tierra de León
This “basic” Tierra de León wine made from the obscure Prieto Picudo grape outshines Pricum’s higher-priced bottlings. It has a leathery nose with mild baked-berry flavors, while the palate is tight but not astringent. Flavors of toamto, red currant, raspberry and herbs are snappy, and overall it’s textured and long in the mouth.
