2016 PAGO FLORENTINO, BY BODEGAS ARZUAGA, TEMPRANILLO, SPAIN
$25.99
After tasting this vintage we purchased the entire vintage. This is as close to the 2005 vintage that made us fall in love with Spain years ago. 100% Tempranillo (called Cencibel in the region), cold macerated, and spends 10-15 months in new American and French oak. The 58 hectare estate, known as La Solana, is located at high elevations in the municipality of Malagon, in the province of Ciudad Real or Castile La Mancha. The term "Pago" denotes the quality level and consistency that the requirement of "everything at the bodega" brings. From grape to labeling, all is done onsite at La Solana.
