ABOUT THE WINE

“The vineyards growing the Tempranillo variety used to make this wine have an average yield of 4000 kg/ha and are located in non-irrigated areas.”

This wine was born as a gesture of support to social projects that aim at improving the lives of disadvantaged people.That was the starting point of Granito de Arena.

Granito de Arena also aims to be an initiative that will have continuity over time, not just a one-off action of Bodegas Piedemonte. The
profits from the sale of the wine go to social organisations in different fields, but always with a local focus.

One more year, we are continuing with our solidarity wine, with the hope of contributing our tiny bit o the research on PKAN (Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration), a rare disease that mainly affects children in their first years of life.

 

Once perfect balance is achieved between the grape components, the grape must obtained is rich in sugars, anthocyanins and tannins which, once the winemaking process has been completed, give rise to a complex wine.

The grapes are fermented and macerated in stainless steel vats. The fermentation is performed at a controlled temperature of between 28 to 30 ºC. 

The grapes are then left to macerate for 15 – 20 days, depending on the phenolic characteristics and the condition of the grapes. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation has been completed, the wine is matured in 225 litre oak barrels for 12 months. Following the barrel ageing, its subsequent bottle ageing gives it roundness which adds to the wine’s structure to create a really elegant wine.
