Description
Valtosca red wine is born in the region of Jumilla. This wine is a single varietal Syrah, which gives it a distinctive character and a unique personality. Its name comes from the fresh soils covered by a type of limestone called "tosca", which gives rise to this ripe and concentrated single varietal.
This wine stands out for its combination of black fruit and toasted aromas. It is one of Casa Castillo's best known wines and serves as an excellent example of the potential of Syrah in Murcia.
Winemaking
The grapes come from two plots located in the transition between the slopes of Gravas and El Valle. The grapes are harvested by hand and the fermentation is traditional with indigenous yeasts, using between 25 and 30% of whole clusters in underground vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in vats. The wine is aged for 12 months in used 500-litre barrels.
Taste
Valtosca has a cherry colour with a violet rim. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red and black fruit, floral, mountain herbs and spices. The palate is fruity, with good acidity and a long finish, and powerful but well polished tannins.
