Pobre Tolo red wine

The vineyards of Bodega Ribada are located in the sub-area of Chantada (D.O. Ribeira Sacra). The vines are grown on stairs, with slopes of up to 80%. These vineyards are classified as “mountain” vineyards. The work is manual, every task in the vineyard has to be done by hand because mechanisation is impossible.

Very fine on the nose with an intensity that increases as the wine sits in the glass, the aromas of very ripe fruit (cherry, plum, blackberry) stand out, very subtle and persistent.
