Nose: The nose is an enchanting symphony of red berries – think cherries, raspberries, and red currants. Layered within these fruity notes are hints of Mediterranean herbs, damp earth, and a touch of black pepper, giving the wine a rustic allure.
Palate: Upon sipping, Pomagrana reveals a medium-bodied profile, smooth yet invigorating. The red fruit characteristics continue onto the palate, enriched with nuances of violet, licorice, and a touch of leather. The wine's well-structured tannins and balanced acidity pave the way for a seamless tasting journey.
Finish: The finish is persistent, leaving traces of ripe fruit, spices, and a delightful earthy undertone, a hallmark of the Conca De Barbera terroir.
Given its rich profile and Spanish origins, the 2022 Lectores Vini Pomagrana pairs splendidly with a range of dishes. From tapas such as chorizo, patatas bravas, and albondigas (meatballs) to heartier fare like grilled lamb chops, paellas, or a traditional Catalan stew, the wine stands up beautifully. Its versatility even extends to cheese boards, especially those featuring aged Manchego or a robust blue cheese.
