Tasting note:

The "PIU Ánfora Tinto" is a medium-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe red fruit and a long, mineral finish. After fermenting on the skins for one month, it is matured for 10 months in amphorae from the region that are over 200 years old. This process has a long tradition in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla. The amphora fully respects the characteristics of the grape - it offers the wine the opportunity to reconnect with the soil from which the amphora was made. This "Garnacha" matures optimally in the bottle, so that this wine keeps for a long time in the cellar.

Producers:

José and Pedro are childhood friends and producers who have dedicated themselves to sustainable viticulture under the name "Tierra Savia". On 10 hectares in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla, they grow a wide range of old and new varieties, paying particular attention to the quality of the soil. The soil between the vines remains covered with vegetation throughout the year. The vines are up to 150 years old and are only cultivated at all thanks to "Tierra Savia". In their wine cellar, José and Pedro produce over 30 small batches from the harvest every year. They use amphorae from the region, some of which are up to 400 years old. When we asked José why they do this, he simply said: "We are convinced that wine has a memory!" The two winegrowers are members of the "Tierra y Libertad" cooperative.
