DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Bodega Pablo Fallabrino is a small family winery in Canelones, Uruguay. Alcyone comes from a 2.5-hectare plot of Tannat on calcareous clay at the Viñedo de los Vientos vineyard.
It is an unusual sweet red. The method borrows from both Italian chinato and Marsala: the Tannat is made with a recipe of roots and herbs, fortified with brandy, and aged 12 months in used French oak before bottling unfiltered. It is rich, with about 220 grams of sugar per liter.
The color is deep ruby with a tawny edge. The nose is like a cup of hot chocolate at first, then spicy black fruit and coffee. The palate is thick and luscious, with black cherry, dark chocolate, nuts and an orange-like bite of acidity on a long, warming finish. Odd in the right way.
Serve slightly cool, around 55 to 60°F, in small glasses. Pour it with a chocolate fondant, brownies or blue cheese, or on its own after dinner. Keep the open bottle in the fridge.
Bottle size: 500ml
