Bodega Aleanna 'Gran Enemigo' Gualtallary Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2020

Bodega Aleanna 'Gran Enemigo' Gualtallary Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 202099pts Wine Advocate The 2020 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard is nothing but phenomenal. It's very fresh and balanced and, for a warm year like 2020, doesn't show any heat or excess; it's subtle and has an ethereal character within the powerful and exuberant character from Gualtallary. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts and some full clusters, sometimes up to 70% of the volume. It's intense and powerful, but something makes if

and there’s bad news

so Laurent Vaillé took this model even further

as long as whole clusters don’t mask the personality of Sangiovese and of site

while the palate is greeted with refreshing warmth

all farming has to be done by hand

with an exceptional aging potential

a finesse-rich style

99 on 6+ bottles use code: 6saves2

plus fine sweet spices

fine yellow fruit nuances of mango and papaya

it’s not clear that it will necessarily be the better for it

The result: from each vine bush or “cepa”
